would you like to teach at camp creative?

We run courses across a range of areas: painting, drawing, sculpture, dance, singing, woodworking, cooking, textiles, clay, music, writing, photography and more!

Do you have a great course idea?

Firstly, have a look at our current courses here and make sure it differs from what we are already offering.

We also run courses designed just for kids and teenagers, aged 5 to 17 years.

We are looking for creatives with formal and informal experience, doing interesting work who are also excellent teachers with these qualities:

a willingness to be generous with information

strong technical skills

amazing interpersonal skills

Each potential tutor is welcome to submit multiple course proposals.

how it works

Camp Creative courses run for five days.

Each day can run as either a full day (9.00 am to 4.00 pm)

or as a half day (9.00 am – 12.00 pm OR 1.00 pm – 4.00 pm).

Full day courses have a one hour lunch break, 12.00 pm – 1.00 pm.

Tutors are engaged by the Camp to run their course, and we manage the rest – enrolling students, providing classroom space, promoting the course.

The starting class size for any course is twelve students.

tutor requirements

Additional to the quality of their course proposal, to teach at Camp Creative, all tutors must:

  • Have a Working with Children Check valid for the dates of the event.

  • Have $20 million public liability insurance valid for the dates of the event.

  • Be able to provide a safe and respectful classroom environment within Camp guidelines.

  • Performing arts tutors must also be available to lead their class at the Finale Concert on the last day of the event (Friday).
