Job description

We're looking for a Photographer to capture the energy and joy of youth sports at our camp this summer. Over an 8-week season, you'll be on the ground documenting training sessions, games, kids, and coaches — the focus on a young athlete's face, a coach mid-instruction, a team celebrating a win. Your images will help tell the story of what we do to families, partners, and our wider community.

It's an ideal summer role for a photography or art student, or recent grad, who already shoots and wants consistent, high-volume experience in a fast-moving, people-centered environment.

Requirements

• Your own DSLR or mirrorless camera and relevant gear (lenses, memory cards, etc.)
• Experience shooting sports or other fast-action photography
• Currently studying or recently graduated in photography, art, or a related field
• A strong eye for composition, timing, and storytelling
• Comfort working around children; a professional, patient demeanor
• Availability for the full 8-week term, Mon-Fri, 9 AM-5 PM
• Complete both of our short assessments (about 5 minutes each) before or right after applying. Applications with both completed are reviewed first:
  • Culture Index survey
  • Skills game assessment

Benefits

• Intensive portfolio-building over a full summer of shoots
• Potential for a reference/recommendation and future seasonal rehire
