For Summer 2023, we are looking for help with several key positions, including:

Merchandise Manager
Organize and process sales of all artist merchandise and other products. Full time on camp registration days, part-time before and after concerts where some artist CDs or other products are offered for sale. Retail and merchandising experience very helpful.
Box Office Staff
Box office staff help with every summer festival concert: The box office is open for 2-3 hours at each of about 38 scheduled concerts. Help with patron questions (lost tickets, seat assignments, will call, etc.). Must become an expert with our new computer-based ticketing platform. Customer service experience and a very positive attitude is important.
Production Support
We are looking for a few tech crew members and some production assistants. “Techs” must understand on stage set up: sound reinforcement, amplifier and microphone use, etc. “PAs” help in general throughout the camp: Making copies of music for faculty, staffing the instrument storage room, setting up and tearing down special events, and more. Techs are generally full-time during July. PAs are part time, and both positions have staggered schedules. We staff the programs from 8:00 am or earlier for setup until 11:00 pm or later for concert load out. Schedules will vary.
