Can you help me find a woodworking/ woodshop teacher for a summer camp?

Howdy folks. I'm trying to improve the quality of a woodworking program at a large summer camp in upstate NY. Spending $$ on tools etc won't help me at all if I don't have the staff to teach it... so I'm on a search for someone who knows and loves woodworking and children, and would like to spend the summer in the Catskills. Here's the ad:

The French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts, one of Americas top summer camps, located in the Catskill mountains of upstate NY is looking for a Woodworking department head and woodworking instructors.

The position is a live at camp position with room and board supplied, plus salary. Families may be accommodated.

Our woodworking department is part of a large fine art program, where children from 7-17 come to learn about any aspect of woodworking you would be most excited to teach. Current programs involve scroll sawing, bone carving and general woodworking. You would organize projects, materials, tools and program, teach classes and develop staff for the program.

Our program is based on individual choice, so you will only work with children who choose to pursue woodworking. The kids are creative, enthusiastic and eager to learn.

For more information see www.frenchwoods.com, call 1-800-634-1703 e-mail admin@frenchwoods.com

Check with your local 4H group. maybe their woodworking leader can lend a hand, or has a kid in the group that is advanced enough to be of help. Dale
