Summer Camp DJ Jobs

Overview

DJ is one of the most energetic and creative areas at camp. We have an incredible DJ studio located inside our state-of-the-art Studio IHC music facility. The music program was revamped in 2019 and we added DJ as a program offering.
As a DJ instructor you will lead classes of campers, helping them learn various styles and disciplines. Through DJ you help teach them a deeper understanding of music and how to use the equipment.
Whilst the younger campers will have a more introductory teaching program, our older campers can be challenged with a higher level of techniques.
Why Teach DJ at Summer Camp?

Music is widely under-taught in schools, it’s often over-looked as a secondary subject and it is rare to find large groups of kids learning music together. As a DJ instructor at IHC you will have the opportunity to teach what you love to campers of all ages and abilities.
In our DJ studio, you and the rest of the music team will be able to work creatively to bring our music program to life.
The role provides great experience for anyone seeking future employment in the music industry.
