What is a camp photographer?

Camp Photographers are professionals responsible for capturing photos and sometimes videos of campers, staff, and activities during a camp session. They document daily events, special moments, and help create memories that can be shared with campers, families, and camp organizers. Their work often includes editing photos, uploading galleries, and sometimes managing social media or newsletters. Camp Photographers need to be comfortable working outdoors, interacting with children, and managing their equipment in different weather conditions.

What does a camp photographer do?

As a camp photographer, you take photos during a summer camp. Your duties can include working at a single location for the season or taking pictures at different places on a freelance or contract basis. You capture images of campers and staff during daily activities and special events. Your responsibilities include saving, cataloging, and processing the pictures. As a camp photographer, your images may be used for promotional materials, a website, or social media account. A summer camp may also sell or give photos to campers and staff so that they can have memories of their summertime experiences.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a camp photographer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Camp Photographer, you need strong photography skills, experience with digital cameras, and a basic understanding of photo editing, typically supported by a portfolio of work. Familiarity with editing software like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop and experience managing digital photo archives are commonly required. Creativity, adaptability, and excellent interpersonal skills help in capturing candid moments and engaging with campers and staff. These abilities ensure high-quality, memorable images that document camp experiences and meet organizational needs.

What are some common challenges a camp photographer may face during a typical camp session?

Camp Photographers often work in dynamic outdoor environments where lighting and weather conditions can change rapidly, requiring adaptability and quick decision-making. Managing a high volume of photos while ensuring that each camper is represented and activities are well-documented can be challenging, especially with tight schedules. Additionally, maintaining equipment in rugged settings and adhering to privacy guidelines are important considerations. Collaboration with camp counselors and staff is key to capturing candid moments while minimizing disruptions to camp activities.

In contrast, a Camp Counselor primarily supervises and engages with campers, emphasizing leadership and safety. Both roles contribute to a positive camp experience but differ significantly in responsibilities and skill sets.

Actual compensation offers within this range will depend on experience and other relevant business or organizational factors.

At Steve & Kate's, we put radical trust in kids so that they learn to trust themselves. Campers choose minute-to-minute how to spend their time because making decisions today helps to build the self-confidence they’ll need to wrangle unknowns tomorrow. We value empowering our staff to be their whole authentic selves because everyone in our community needs to feel included!  Sound like something you can get behind? If so, we're looking for team members who are motivated babysitters, teachers, coaches, students, athletes, artists, and anyone ready to play hard and be goofy. As a Steve & Kate’s staff member, you’ll sharpen your inherent leadership skills, learn some new ones, and collaborate with interesting people, all while immersing yourself in creativity and play.

Job Responsibilities

Staff members will be responsible for facilitating activities, making connections, and monitoring safety and wellness.  Some staff members will create and/or oversee activity spaces in which campers will self-select activities, while other staff will work in rotating support roles throughout camp.  The best way to find out what your specific responsibilities would be is to speak with your local director, but activities include sewing, stop-motion animation, maker space, performing arts, arts and crafts, lounging, recreation, and so much more!

  • Does the idea of guiding kids while they make decisions for themselves excite you?
  • Are you calm under pressure and able to calm those around you?
  • Are you comfortable leading groups of kids on your own while still collaborating with a team?
  • Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4-12 year old’s bursting with energy and creative potential? And, can you bench press a kindergartener (just kidding -- can you lift up to 40 pounds)?
  • Are you passionate about sharing your knowledge & learning something new (even if a third grade is doing the teaching)?

Job Requirements

  • At least 16 years of age 
  • Minimum of 2 months experience working with camp–age children, with 1 year preferred, in either a professional, personal or volunteer setting. 
  • First Aid & CPR certified prior to Day 1 of Camp (some locations may require additional certifications)
