Chicago Children’s Theatre’s Camp Red Kite offers interns the chance to work alongside CCT staff, artists, administrators, and special education teachers to create a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment for children with autism. With proper training, interns will help campers explore music, art, and drama in a whole new way. Interns will also have the opportunity to assist in administrative tasks such as program and web support.

The goal of Camp Red Kite is to foster a shared arts experience that encourages self expression, social engagement, creative exploration, and above all, fun. We are looking for applicants who work well with children, and have the sensitivity to handle delicate situations that may arise. Experience with the arts and/or education is a plus.

All interns must be available for a training week – June 28th to July 2nd, and from July 5th to July 23rd from 8am-2pm.
