Media Jobs at Summer Camps
Media jobs at summer camps cover a wide range of roles that shape how families and the public experience camp life. From photographers and videographers to social content creators, journalists, and marketing leads, media staff are storytellers at the center of every camper’s summer. Whether you’re a working creator, MFA student, or marketing pro, summer camp media offers a uniquely creative seasonal environment that blends storytelling, technology, and community.
As a media staffer at an overnight camp, you’ll shoot photo and video across activities, edit and publish daily content to parent platforms and social channels, write and design newsletters and yearbook content, and partner with admin and programming teams on marketing assets. Many co-ed residential camps run full media departments where photographers, videographers, writers, and social creators collaborate throughout the summer on the camp’s evolving storytelling identity.
