Jobs

It’s not just a job. It’s an adventure.

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! At over 100 locations in five states, teachers lead campers ages 5 to 11 through a full week of hands-on fun. Aided by kid-friendly gizmos, gadgets and a little goop, entertaining science demonstrations, and inventive lesson plans, we know how to educate and have fun. 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. Start your adventure of fun and growth this summer by heading towards Destination Science!

Feedback From our Team

  • “Everyone working for DS is so passionate about making a difference in the camper’s lives. From office staff, to our staff in the sites, everyone has been friendly and ready to help.”  “
  • “Being around really awesome coworkers!”
  • “My WOW would be the comprehensive training.”
  • “The flexibility of the staff and the excited looks on the campers faces when they received their fun items and seeing how the toys connected to science. Some of the great fun lessons that even me as the teacher had fun doing.”

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.

Is Destination Science the right job for you? Our science camp summer teaching jobs are as unique as the camp itself. We often feel inspired by our staff, who show dedication to our campers and enjoy what they do. We perform a background screening on all teaching candidates, and our hiring process searches for people who will thrive in our high-energy, dynamic environment.

We have a selective process for hiring, and we want the best teacher candidates. If you’re an enthusiastic teacher who can help kids get excited about learning, you could make a great fit for our team!

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.

Do you think you would be a good fit for one of our science camp teaching positions? Apply today, or refer a friend with a background or interest in education to our program. We love connecting with new people!
