Teaching Associates work closely with Instructors to assist with STEM labs and activities, in addition to designing and leading their own small group activites for campers. The core responsibilities of teaching associates (TAs) are preparing for and cleaning up after labs/activities, assisting with general administrative tasks, supervising campers, and generally helping to ensure that the camp runs smoothly.

Teaching Associates agree to:

• Assist with student check-in and check-out at the beginning and end of the camp day.

• Be sure that students are supervised at all times. Be an active supervisory presence and address student safety and behavior issues whenever you are in the presence of students.

• Abide by and enforce camp program policies and procedures.

• Attend all meetings called by the camp director or program coordinator.

• Complete necessary documentation, program evaluations, and other administrative information requests

• Commit to working as a team player
