What Are Podcasting Jobs at Summer Camp?
Podcasting Jobs at Summer Camps
Podcasting jobs at summer camps are an exciting new niche role for working podcasters, audio producers, and journalism pros who love teaching kids how to record, edit, and tell stories through audio. From traditional sleepaway camps adding podcasting electives to their media programs to specialty performing arts residential camps running serious audio production tracks, podcast instructors lead one of the most modern and engaging programs of the summer.
As a podcasting instructor at an overnight camp, you’ll teach interviewing, scriptwriting, recording, editing, and basic sound design while supporting camper-produced podcasts and series. You’ll manage mics, audio interfaces, and editing laptops while running showcases. Many co-ed residential camps blend podcasting into broader media programs alongside journalism, video, and music production, giving multi-discipline instructors a varied and creative summer.
