Summer Camp Photography Jobs
-
Overview
There are two types of photography roles at Camp IHC. The first role is called Camper Media and involves teaching the campers how to use cameras to capture still and moving images. The second photography role is more behind the scenes. This role involves running around camp each day and taking hundreds/thousands of daily images of camp life.

Why Be a Photographer at Camp?
Camp IHC has invested heavily in our creative team over the last few years and working in Studio 18 will be an exciting journey in your creative career. As an IHC photographer, we will challenge you and we will push you because we are looking for someone that will go above and beyond to take & create incredible content.
Our creative director has various photography roles available. So if you’re a portrait photographer, an adobe editor, an event photographer or simply just a visionary…. there will be an opportunity to further these skills and push yourself to learn new ones.
At the end of the summer you will have created next level content that will help you chase your next dream photography job.
Studio 18 Manifesto
Born in 2018, Studio 18 started as a name of a room, but it quickly became the official name of our in-house summer camp content production team. Over time the culture of the team became more refined and the Studio 18 Manifesto was born. Studio 18 wanted to change the very definition of what summer camp media content could and should be. When team members come onboard they are bought into the Studio 18 purpose, mission and vision from the get go. We are truly obsessive about pushing the boundaries of summer camp media. This helps set us apart from any other business in our industry. We do not aim to compete, we are simply on an infinite pursuit to create better content than the summer before, and it’s 100% born from nothing but passion and our pathetic love of summer camp.
We use a facial recognition software, so every photo we take of a camper gets sent via the software to parents and families of that camper so they can see what they got up to that day!
