Summer First Aid Jobs in Minnesota (NOW HIRING)

As an Art Lead Counselor at Science Factory Camp, you will bring creative projects to life for campers ages 6-12. The basics will be outlined, and then you get to add your unique twists, your energy, and your "classroom" management skills (the fun kind). This role is about more than art projects. It's about helping kids explore materials, tell stories through what they make, and feel proud creating in their own way. You don't need to be a professional artist. Warmth, enthusiasm, and comfort leading groups matter most.
This in-person summer day camp counselor role is for people who enjoy being active and working with kids. You are not just supervising activities, you are sparking curiosity, building confidence, and creating a fun, inclusive environment. This role is a great fit for patient, energetic leaders who stay calm, connect with kids, and support positive group dynamics.
This camp will move in July 17th-July 19th, with the camp in session July 20th-August 25th, and moving out August 26th.
Responsibilities:

• Lead engaging, developmentally appropriate activities within your specialty area, creating a positive and inclusive experience for all campers
• Supervise and guide groups of campers, and support other counselors as needed, using strong group management and positive guidance techniques
• Build meaningful connections with campers, adapt quickly to changing group dynamics, and support both returning and drop-in campers
• Maintain camper safety, wellness, and engagement, including awareness of allergies, dietary needs, and individual camper needs
• Communicate with families and the camp team by sharing updates, documenting incidents or achievements, and supporting smooth daily operations

Qualifications:
Candidates must pass required state and company background checks and meet state and company minimum education and experience requirements:

• High school diploma or GED required
• Must be at least 18 years of age
• 6+ months of experience working with camp-age children required (1 year preferred), ideally in a summer camp setting
• 6+ months of experience or demonstrated interest in leading hands-on activities related to the specialty area
• First Aid and CPR certification required prior to the first day of camp; certification will be provided for those working in New York
