Why Teach S.T.E.M. at Camp?

S.T.E.M is a brand new program addition to Camp IHC, in 2020 we built a new studio and it’s a blank canvas for someone to come in and work with us to build an incredible program and a module that we can continually grow and improve moving forward.
As the S.T.E.M. teacher you will need to structure lessons for campers of all ages and abilities and find ways to engage with them and encourage them.
This is an opportunity to help build a progressive program and then execute it all summer long. You will gain teaching experience and be paid to do what you love.
Let’s work together to make it happen!
