Digital Video Position at Sleepaway Camps
Digital video positions at summer camps are exciting roles for videographers, editors, and content creators who love telling visual stories.

Whether you’re an early-career creator or a working pro, summer camp video is one of the most fun and creatively varied seasonal positions you can find.
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. You’ll manage cameras, gimbals, mics, drones (when allowed), and editing laptops while partnering with photography, social, and marketing teams. Many residential camps run full media departments where video staff collaborate with photographers and content creators all summer long.
The position is typically a full-summer commitment with on-site housing, meals, and laundry included. Camps look for strong portfolios, fluency with Premiere, DaVinci, Final Cut, or CapCut, and the ability to handle daily turnaround. Mirrorless cameras with gimbals and audio gear are typical. Some camps provide gear; others ask staff to bring their own. Always confirm gear policies during your interview.
