SUMMER CAMP INTERN
Atlas Immersion Academy "Gabriel Park" in Portland or "Silicon Forest" in Beaverton | Mid‑June to end‑of‑August | Paid Internship | Minimum 6‑week commitment
Do you speak Spanish or French? Curious about working with young children? Want real hands‑on experience this summer in a setting that's anything but ordinary?
Atlas Immersion Academy is a multilingual childcare and early childhood education organization serving children from 3 months to 12 years old across multiple Portland‑area campuses.
This summer, we're offering internship placements in two areas:
OPTION 1 – ATLAS EXPLORERS SUMMER CAMP : Work alongside counselors at our cultural immersion summer camp for children ages 5–12. Every week brings a new destination — Korea, Samoa, France, Chile, and more — through activities, crafts, science, cooking, and theater.
OPTION 2 – CHILDCARE & PRESCHOOL CLASSROOMS : Support teachers in our infant, toddler, and preschool classrooms (children ages 3 months to 5 years). Get a close‑up experience with early childhood development, daily routines, play‑based learning, and bilingual classroom environments.
Tell us your preference when you apply — we'll do our best to match you based on availability and fit.
Camp / internship runs Monday–Friday. Hours vary by placement and the needs of the centers.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
Assist lead teachers or counselors in daily activities and routines.
Support children in small groups, during transitions, and at mealtimes.
Help prepare materials, set up activities, and maintain a tidy environment.
Use your Spanish or French with children and staff throughout the day.
Learn from experienced educators.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
Middle or high school student (14 years old min) with a genuine interest in working with children.
Some conversational ability in Spanish or French.
Responsible, dependable, and calm in a busy childcare environment.
Minimum 6‑week commitment within the June 10 – August 26 season.
Comfortable with both the energy of a camp setting and the nurturing pace of infant/toddler care.
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN:
Hands‑on experience across early childhood education and/or youth programming.
Exposure to bilingual and multicultural teaching environments.
A letter of recommendation upon successful completion.
TO APPLY:
Apply here or on our website. Add a short note of interest (in English, Spanish, or French) where you can tell us your age, which language(s) you speak, which placement option(s) you're interested in, which weeks you're available, and why you want to join the Atlas team.
A parent or guardian signature will be required before the internship begins.
Atlas Immersion Academy is an equal opportunity employer.
