Belle Vie Farm seeks counselors to work with children ages 6-11 for our Teacher Workday Camps. We offer between 2-10 camp days each month, Monday through Friday, between September 2026 - May 2027. All of our camps take place on BVF, located 2 miles from downtown Chapel Hill/Carrboro. We own 2 separate properties adjacent to each other (3000 and 3100 Damascus Church Road for a total of 34 acres).

 

Details about our TWD camps can be found here.

​

Counselors pick which camp days they want to work. We also love to hire our summer camp counselors from our TWD staff, so if you are looking for employment during the summers, this could be a great fit.

 

Staff Hours

TWD camps begin at 8am and run to 3:30pm. Counselors arrive at 7:45 and leave at 3:30. Our camps are mostly outdoors (except in unsafe or extreme weather) and in our climate controlled maker studio and indoor barn. This is a position that requires the right candidate to be a joyful person who likes children, and who has lots of energy and a goofy, playful spirit. You should be in excellent physical shape because our farm is 34 acres! The children hike, run, play in the forest, build forts, make messes in the mud kitchen and do lots of messy art. You must be able to move quickly, keep up with energetic kids and actually enjoy doing so.

We readily acknowledge that this position is NOT for everyone. We don't do mediocre at Belle Vie. If you approach child care as if you are meant to keep "watch" over the kids and that is your main goal, this is NOT the right job for you. We view our counselors as THE reason kids keep coming back to BVF, so we simply cannot hire/keep you if you aren't energetic and authentically interested in kids and fun.

​

The right candidate will be excited about showing up for camp days, will communicate effectively with the director, co-workers and parents, and will speak positively about children, families and other staff. We also don't gossip - we really dislike gossip. We like kindness and authenticity. If you think this sounds like a really fun way to make extra money with a wonderfully flexible schedule, please reach out to Shelley at shelley@belleviefarm.org. Send your resume and a brief email about why our farm looks like a good fit for you.
