Summer Camp Instructor/Classroom Teacher

Q. Why have you returned to work at Create Academy?

A. “I have returned to work at Create Academy because between the pay, freedom of what I teach, materials at my disposal, flexibility in my schedule, and the wonderful kids, I feel appreciated. I also feel that what I teach at camp is meaningful and has a real-world purpose for the kids.”

Q. Is there something you learned at camp or experienced that you were able to bring beyond summer camp?

A. “I was able to learn robotics at camp and have been able to bring this to my classroom and to my own kids at home.”

Chris Gilly – Forrer

Creative Arts Instructor

Q. Why have you returned to work at Create Academy?

A. “I returned to Create Academy because of the level of trust, freedom, and support afforded to me by not only Renae (camp director) but the entire Create Academy family.”

Q. What do you look forward to when working at camp?

A. “Every summer I look forward to seeing the growth of these students after another year’s time. While I only get snapshots, I am nonetheless floored at the intelligence, creativity, and self-confidence of these young people. I am very jealous of the PNA family for their more continuous work with them!”
