Whether you are a pro with kids or just beginning, we have a position for fun, dynamic educators like you. From camp directors to site assistants, our staff seek out those “Aha!” moments to share with kids!

All of Destination Science instructors are experienced educators, classroom teachers and university students, each focused in growing kids and chosen for their ability to relate to children and build an effective baking-soda volcano. STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) learning is more important than ever before. In fact, it’s a national movement.

What Makes Destination Science Unique?
Each year, hundreds of children across the country take part in our STEM and STEAM summer camps. They participate in hands-on projects that teach them science through fun! Peak moments at camp include:
- 3 science stations with fun take-home projects for your child to share with you what they learned
- Fun rallies, games, camp songs, dress-up days and spirit days
- Terrific beads for kids to collect while learning life skills
- EG Awards that promote curiosity, perseverance, problem solving, creativity and cooperation
Our students’ enjoyment of our camps is a testament to the skill of our STEM camp teachers, who excel at their jobs. They create an environment where kids feel encouraged to ask questions and feed their curiosity every day.

The Hiring Timeline & Process
The best summer ever is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Teach About a Subject You Care About
Each year, Destination Science hosts four themed camps at our locations across the United States. We work hard to come up with ideas that will appeal to our young campers and give them a worthwhile experience that will translate into greater interest in the subject.
That means we have jobs available across a range of subjects, which may include:
- Robotics
- Engineering
- STEAM
- Space
No matter your background, you can find a place for your expertise at Destination Science. Our teachers love sharing knowledge they’ve gleaned firsthand through experience or by teaching certain subject matter again and again. When you connect with a subject you love, you’ll feel energized, and the campers will connect with that energy.
There’s nothing better than a motivated teacher who loves what they’re doing. We’re looking to fill science and STEM summer camp counselor jobs with people who can bring that type of passion to their position.
Apply for One of Our Science Camp Counselor Jobs
One of the best parts about Destination Science camps is that the themes change every year. Our counselors have a chance to teach different subjects and develop new expertise to help the kids. This job provides so many ways to aid children while also having a good time yourself.
