Job Description
Spend your summer creating something unforgettable.
Camp Manitou is hiring a Camp Videographer for Summer 2026, a unique opportunity for a talented videographer, editor or visual storyteller to spend the summer outdoors, immersed in an incredible community and capturing the moments that define camp life.
This is not a teaching role.
This is a highly independent, creative position where you become the storyteller behind the lens, documenting everything from waterfront action and major camp-wide events to performances, traditions and the everyday magic of camp life.
You’ll create content that will be watched and cherished by campers, families and staff for years to come.
For the right person, this is far more than a summer job. It is an opportunity to build an exceptional portfolio, gain meaningful experience and be part of a vibrant community in one of Ontario’s most beautiful summer settings.
Why Join Manitou?
- Highly autonomous creative role with freedom to manage your workflow
- Room, board and all meals included
- Opportunity to build a professional-calibre portfolio in cinematic storytelling, event coverage and short-form content creation
- Evening staff socials, recreation and community events
- Access to camp activities during downtime including swimming, rock climbing, waterskiing, tubing and more
- A close-knit staff team from around the world
- An unforgettable summer experience that will stay with you for life
Key Responsibilities
- Capture daily camp life through cinematic video content, candid moments and event coverage
- Film major camp programs, performances, traditions and signature events
- Create short-form edited videos for camp social media and digital storytelling
- Edit larger productions including highlight reels, event recap videos and major camp films
- Collaborate with camp leadership on creative video concepts and storytelling initiatives
- Independently manage your filming schedule, footage organization and editing workflow
- Capture drone footage where appropriate (training/equipment can be discussed if needed)
What We’re Looking For
- Previous videography / filmmaking experience required
- Strong eye for storytelling, pacing and visual composition
- Proficient in video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro or similar editing software
- Experience creating short-form digital content is an asset
- Must bring a laptop capable of video editing
- Personal camera equipment is an asset, though equipment can be discussed/provided based on the candidate
- Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment
- Ability to live on site for the duration of the contract (June 20 - August 13)
- Legally eligible to work in Canada
