Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is offering two education internships this year.  It is a ten week program, and free housing is available for any students who wish to live on the museum campus.  Students will receive a $1,000 upon completion of their ten weeks.  Program details are as follows:

 The education department is seeking advanced undergraduate or graduate applicants in the education field to assist in development and implementation of the museum’s summer camp curriculum. You will do research on three centuries of New England History and incorporate that knowledge into lesson plans, games, and activities for campers that range in age from 6-16. As an education assistant you will get to know the engaging stories and history behind the museum’s 42 historic houses and the historic seaport town of Portsmouth, NH. Interns are an integral part of a successful camp; therefore, applicants must be extremely reliable and accountable. Acting, theater, or roleplaying experience is a plus. Candidates must be enthusiastic and enjoy interacting, teaching, and playing with large groups of children. This position requires high energy and the ability to adapt to a changing environment. Please note on your application if you are particularly interested in working with our Junior Roleplayers. The Junior Roleplaying summer camp program at Strawbery Banke caters to children 12-16 years of age. Interns take on much of the lesson planning within the camp curriculum and are frequently expected to lead group lessons or activities. The program highly emphasizes New England history, acting skills, and active learning environments. Candidates must have a positive attitude, strong motivation, and high energy. Experience in acting, theater, or improvisation is desirable, as well as experience working with older children.
