Lavner Education

I am working towards my BFA in Graphic Design and heading into my last year of school. This job was such a great way to help children and teens discover their passion for design as I did! This job was so rewarding and I was able to interact with so many wonderful individuals from the campers to the staff! Because I entered into this job with a few different skillsets I was able to instruct the Graphic Design, Digital Art, Web Design and Coding, Fashion Design, Emoji Design, and Coding camps which allowed me to expand my skills and interact with many different individuals. One thing I would like to mention though is the compensation I felt was too low for the amount of work and effort that the job requires but overall great summer job! 

I loved my time as a game design instructor at Lavner Education.  Nearly every week I took on a different subject to teach the campers, which normally would be difficult but was made relatively easy since Lavner had already written out plans for each course.  All I had to do was read ahead on each one and give myself little notes for the week, and from there it was a fun challenge and it was enjoyable to engage with the different campers. I overall felt a sense of belonging thanks to the incredibly helpful and kind staff, and my confidence during camps was boosted by the diligent IT team.  Overall I feel that working at Lavner Education was a great experience.

I have been a teacher for the last 5 years and have been looking for opportunities to learn new skills and gain experience leading others.  This summer, I was able to attain this. I have worked in summer camps before, and have attended as a child. This environment is very face paced and supporting campers and their family is always top priority. This summer, I  was able to work with my instructors and interns to give campers increased opportunities in coding and STEM. I wish I was able to teach these topics in my own classroom during the school year. This was such a rewarding experience. My team of instructors always went above and beyond to help our campers learn new skills and challenge themselves. Thanks for a great summer! I look forward to working with Lavner in the future!

I enjoyed working with the children and my co-workers at lavner camps. There was a great atmosphere throughout the workplace. I got to teach the kids a lot of useful and fun information about technology and software. The management was very good, and was very helpful when me and my co-workers needed help. Where the job fell flat was the technology itself. The laptops and tablets that were given to us as teaching tools were very slow and had too many software-based restrictions on them. This made using them to teach very ineffective, resulting in me having to bring in a personal laptop to fit my teaching needs.

I have worked at Lavner Education for 5 years in varying roles, from seasonal or part-time to full-time. There are countless reasons why I continued to come back and eventually took on a full-time role. I was initially drawn in by the innovative camps and courses, but stayed because of the culture. It's not often that you find a company that values change and improvement. At Lavner, we are always striving to do better. No company is perfect, but by taking the necessary steps to improve each month, and each year, Lavner Education is a great place to call home. Your words and ideas are never lost at this company, even as a seasonal employee.

As a tech instructor, I was trained in a number of different technologies. I feel like I am now better positioned for my school major.
We are provided detailed hour by hour curriculum for each camp - another tech camp I interviewed with said I'd have to mostly figure out on my own what to teach each day. 
I'm paid better than my friends who work at other day camps

You get what you put in to this job - if you like working with kids and show up prepared, it will be a rewarding and fulfilling job.

Lavner Camps has been an amazing place to work.  The full-time team is collaborative and innovative and they all deeply care about the mission of providing excellent camp opportunities to kids in an inclusive and educational way.  Each day is different and always exciting.  It feels incredible to know that we are making such a big difference in so many lives across the country and globe.

Where do I start? The management is terrible. There are a few in HR who are working so very hard to do their best, but they are so overworked that it's no wonder people leave after one summer. The owners try and overwork and understaff their camps and just leave headaches for the camp directors, and instructors. Equipment is hardly prepared properly, and the owners maintain unrealistic expectations on deadlines for objectives because they simply do not understand how things work. The curriculums for their technical camps are utter garbage, and feel like they were written up by a middle age man who sort of understands video gamaes.

First things first, you get zero valuable training. You get one paid video training prior to orientation and that's it. During your interview, if you say your knowledge able on a topic, make sure you're telling the truth. They throw you into a camp and assume you are familiar with at least the topic. Other than the massive con, I did enjoy my time at Lavner simply because of the work environment. I was fortunate to have a intern group that I liked being around as well as directors who understand that we are untrained "teachers." If you're looking for a resume filler for the summer and can handle kids, this is a good job for you.

Friendly co-workers, great team. Management and faculty are just a mess, packages and supplies are unorganized and thrown everywhere. Job description is different from the actual job. Supervisors do not give direct feedbacks, respond messages very slowly. No private space for each employee. Very unhealthy working environment: no sunlight, chaotic organization, condensed space, no company cleaning. Extremely heavy lifting and risky organization of materials in storages.
