Digital Video Jobs at Summer Camps
Digital video jobs at summer camps are exciting roles for videographers, editors, and content creators who love telling visual stories. From shooting daily activities for parent platforms at traditional sleepaway camps to producing high-end highlight reels and marketing assets at large co-ed residential camps, video staff define how families experience and remember the summer.
As a digital video staffer at an overnight camp, you’ll shoot across all activity areas, edit short-form social content daily, and produce longer-form pieces like end-of-summer videos, color war reveals, and recruitment content. Many residential camps run full media departments where video staff partner with photographers, social creators, and marketing leads to keep the summer’s storytelling consistent and compelling.
What does a digital video staffer at summer camp do?You’ll shoot and edit video throughout the day, publish short-form social content, and produce highlight reels and special videos. Most sleepaway camps publish content daily on parent platforms and social channels throughout the summer camp season.
What gear and software is typical at sleepaway camps?Mirrorless cameras, gimbal, mics, drone (when allowed), and editing laptops running Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut are typical. Some residential camps provide gear; others ask staff to bring their own.
What background works best for digital video jobs at camp?Film, video production, journalism, marketing, or strong content creator backgrounds all stand out. Working editors, videographers, and college students with strong portfolios all fit naturally at overnight camps.
What does the pay look like for digital video roles at summer camps?Pay is competitive and commensurate with experience, portfolio, and scope. Sleepaway camps include room, board, and laundry alongside salary, which significantly increases the value of the overall summer camp package.
Do digital video staff teach campers?Often. Many co-ed residential camps run filmmaking electives where video staff also teach campers shooting, editing, and storytelling alongside their main production duties at the summer camp.
