As part of this program, campers are invited to stay the night at the museum. The Long Island Raiders program is an innovative way to combine a “close-to-home” sleep away experience and day tripping.

Fee: $850/camper

*NEW* Assistant Counselor Program
Learn what it takes to be an SMLI counselor!
Teenagers ages 14-17 who are interested in learning how to be a counselor at SMLI are welcome to apply for a position in the Science Museum's new Assistant Counselor Program. This training program is designed to help young teens develop communication and leadership skills while working with our younger campers. Guided by SMLI's experienced staff, assistant counselors will help out with classroom tasks, gain experience planning activities for children, and learn the responsibility that comes along with being a role model. Assistant counselors can earn a $50 stipend per week for each successful week "on the job." Weekly evaluations to be reviewed with assistant counselors will provide the feedback you need to have a successful summer and the tools for becoming a future leader. For a packet outlining the Assistant Counselor Program in further detail, all interested parties should contact:
Registrar's office at (516) 627-9400 extension 10 or email info@smli.org.
Pending receipt of reference letter and successful interview, candidates who are hired for the program owe a $300/week fee with the potential to earn back $50/week. A four week (sessions 1-4 or 5-8) committment is necessary.
