​

Three shift types are possible, depending on the camp topic schedule.

  • All Day (includes 30 minute lunch break): 8:00 am – 4:30 pm

  • Mornings: 8:30 am – 1:00 pm

  • Afternoons: 11:00 am – 5:00 pm

 

To apply to any of the positions listed below, please submit your resume and a brief cover letter explaining why you’re interested in the position to Executive Director Mark Rushton at mrushton@badgerbots.org. Applications will be accepted until all positions are filled.
