Young Judaea Sprout Brooklyn Day is Camp Seeking Nature/Garden Specialists
Young Judaea Sprout Brooklyn Day Camp, located in Red Hook, is a Hebrew dual-language camp for children entering Pre-K through 5th grade. No previous Hebrew experience is necessary to be part of the Sprout Brooklyn community. Sprout Brooklyn is a place where children from a wide spectrum of backgrounds join together to create a joyful, diverse community built on Jewish values, a connection to Israel and the Hebrew language.
Our Nature and Garden Specialists will build their own informal Jewish education curricula based on Jewish values and creating a connection to Israel. They will teach daily 30-minute lessons to campers entering Pre-K through entering 5 grade.
Sprout Brooklyn values staff that are positive and flexible team players who are excited to spend the summer with young campers and staff. The ideal candidate is excited about camp life and feels comfortable wearing multiple hats and will never say that a task “isn’t their job”.
