Working at Band Camp as a High Schooler?

I'm a high school junior really into music and looking into job opportunities at a band camp near Orlando for next summer. Does anyone know if they hire high schoolers, and what kind of roles might be available?

In my experience, many music camps do hire high school students, typically in junior or assistant roles. These could include assisting camp instructors with logistical tasks or helping supervise younger camp attendees.

The best way to find out specifically for the camp you're interested in is to reach out to them directly. Use their official contact information and inquire about potential roles for high school students. Expressing interest early on can also show your passion and commitment, which could increase your chances of being considered for a position.

Do keep in mind, however, that working at a camp could also mean sacrificing some of your own summer activities. Balancing responsibilities is an important part of such a job. It's also a valuable experience that could contribute to your personal growth and skill-set, which would be beneficial when applying to colleges.

When discussing your experience during the college application process, consider highlighting your dedication, leadership, and skills gained during the camp, especially if you're considering majoring in music or a related field. For example, if you're placed in a leadership role, talk about how you were responsible for managing a group of younger campers or assisted in conducting a small ensemble. This could become a compelling addition to your application portfolio.
