A paid summer work and cultural exchange opportunity for creatives aged 18+.
Camp America offers a paid summer opportunity to live and work at an American summer camp for 9–12 weeks, with performing arts and creative roles available across camps in the USA. This is more than just work experience - it’s a chance to use your creative skills while living the full summer camp life!

Paid Scholarship Opportunities with Halifax Choral Society
Thanks to generous sponsorship from VCEP Ltd, Halifax Choral Society is able to offer new choral scholarships in our 25/26 season.
Choral scholarships may suit young singers who are looking to develop their skills and techniques. There will be solo opportunities, for which you will receive coaching from the Artistic Director and Conductor, Anthony Gray. There may be opportunities to develop other skills such as conducting or coaching individual singers or small groups. There is no age limit for the scholarships but we imagine they will suit sixth form, undergraduate or postgraduate students.
Rehearsals take place between 7.30pm and 9.30pm on Monday evenings at The Carlton Centre, Harrison Road, Halifax. HX1 2AD. This is conveniently located in the Town Centre, a five-minute walk from Halifax Station.
We ask for attendance at the four main concerts each year, at the final two rehearsals directly preceding each concert, plus 50% of the remaining rehearsals. Scholars are given first consideration for all solos in concerts and, if appropriate, are remunerated on top of the regular termly fee.
Anthony Gray adds: “I ask that the scholars are a strong presence in their part, especially during the note-learning phase.
I have often asked the scholars to take sectionals alongside me, depending on their willingness/ability.
All the scholars are asked to contribute to their section’s ’Vocal MOTs’, our new version of re-auditions, in which myself and the relevant scholar provide feedback and help on aural skills, vocal technique etc. Vocal MOTs begin at 7pm on the relevant part’s weeks, and I always schedule these dependant on the scholars’ availability.”
If you are interested in joining us as a scholar and would like to ask any questions ahead of applying, please e-mail Anthony Gray, Artistic Director and Conductor.
There is no closing date. We will aim to audition and appoint any suitable candidates as soon as applications come in.
