Somewhere out there is a person for whom I have a dream job, but I have no idea where to find them...
I'm looking for someone to start up a model train program at a summer camp, and hopefully come back and run it every summer... I've got a huge space, 30'x40', I've got a budget, I've got a construction crew, and I can support the program from my art, stagecraft, and props departments... what I need is someone (or multiple someones) who can set up track layouts, connect and maintain the electronics, build environment and scenery, and teach children (7-17) all about any/all of the above.
Other than working within our overall philosophy as far as taking care of children, and our existing program structure, the person or persons I'm looking for would have a great degree of leeway in setting up a program however they like... i envision the youngest kids just coming in and playing, perhaps with a simpler track layout set up just for them... and some higher level modeling/ construction classes for kids with higher levels of skill/interest.
I can offer room and board, a salary, transportation assistance, i can even accommodate a family member.
The camp is located in upstate NY, you can see more about it at Summer Camp at French Woods. Performing arts, circus, dance, music, theater, sports, magic and more.
If anyone is interested, or can direct me to such a person, please contact me.
