APPLY FOR A JOB

TIC staff members enjoy creative independence, a stimulating and spirited atmosphere, and the camaraderie of brilliant and energetic peers. They work great hours: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and earn excellent pay: $2,200 to $3,600 (depending on age and experience) for the 8-week season. We recruit highly qualified staff members beginning each January, and we usually finish hiring by May. Please read the general requirements and the job descriptions before you apply:
  • All TIC jobs require energy, creativity, patience, and a real interest in children and adolescents. Experience in teaching/coaching is an asset.
  • TIC runs two DAY CAMPS in the Washington DC metro area with NO RESIDENT FACILITIES.
  • Preference is given to local residents, but out-of-towners who can find their own housing may apply.
  • International staff are hired only through agencies (such as BUNACAMP, CAMP COUNSELORS USA,or CAMP AMERICA) which provide pre-screening, appropriate visas, travel arrangements and health insurance.
  • Preference is given to applicants 18 years of age or older, but we make occasional exceptions for highly qualified high school seniors or graduates, especially if they have been through our Counselor-in-Training program.
  • NEW COUNSELORS AT TIC MAY NOT WORK IN BOTH COMPUTERS AND SPORTS. It is difficult enough to learn to do one job well, without trying to do two jobs. Returning counselors who are qualified in both areas may get to "travel" between computers and sports with either the juniors or the seniors.
  • DO NOT APPLY UNLESS YOU ARE AVAILABLE THE WHOLE SUMMER, INCLUDING STAFF TRAINING DAYS, 6/9 through 8/8 (VA) or 6/16 through 8/15 (MD).
