SUMMER CAMP INSTRUCTOR — Code Ninjas Seattle July 7 – August 15 | Monday–Friday, 8:15am–3:15pm | $20/hr (~$700/wk)
Who are we?
Code Ninjas Seattle is a coding and STEM learning center for kids ages 7–14. This summer marks our 5th year running camps here in Seattle, and we've built something we're proud of — a strong community of returning campers who look forward to it every year, and instructors who've consistently loved being part of it.
The Role
We're looking for one energetic, self-motivated instructor to lead our summer camps. This is a standalone role — you'll be the one running the room, guiding a group of 8–12 kids through weekly themed projects. All curriculum is provided, and you'll have support from our center staff whenever you need it. It's an ideal fit for a college student or recent graduate looking for meaningful, hands-on teaching experience.
Camp topics rotate weekly and include Roblox Studio, Minecraft, Scratch, video editing, 3D design, and more.
Responsibilities
- Lead daily camp sessions for 8–12 kids ages 7–14, using provided curriculum and materials
- Create an engaging, inclusive environment where campers feel encouraged to experiment and create
- Guide students through hands-on projects — troubleshooting, encouraging, and celebrating their wins
- Manage the full camp day: setup, pacing, transitions, and cleanup
- Communicate warmly with parents at drop-off and pick-up
- Capture photos and short video clips for documentation and social media
Qualifications
- Currently enrolled in college or a recent graduate — this role is built around your summer availability
- Genuine enthusiasm for technology, gaming, or creative digital tools
- Experience working with kids in any capacity — tutoring, coaching, babysitting, camp counseling, or classroom work
- Comfortable taking ownership of a room; you don't need a script to keep things moving
- Patient, adaptable, and good at reading a group's energy
- Familiarity with any of the camp tools (Roblox, Minecraft, Scratch, etc.) is a plus — we'll fill in the gaps
What We Offer
- $20/hr · set schedule · approximately $700/week
- Six-week seasonal position, Monday–Friday, 8:15am–3:15pm (July 7 – August 15)
- A close-knit, family-run operation — you'll feel supported, not micromanaged
- Real impact and great experience for education, CS, or child development résumés
