Photography Assistant jobs

Spend your summer creating something unforgettable.

Camp Manitou is hiring a Camp Photographer for Summer 2026, a unique opportunity for a talented photographer or visual storyteller to spend the summer outdoors, immersed in an incredible community and capturing the moments that define camp life.

This is a highly independent, creative position where you become the visual storyteller of the summer, documenting everything from waterfront action shots and major camp-wide events to candid moments, performances and the everyday magic of camp life.

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
• 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 candid, action and event photography
• Photograph major programs, competitions, performances and traditions
• Edit, organize and curate large volumes of photos efficiently
• Create 3 polished slideshow presentations for special camp events
• Collaborate with camp leadership on select social media and storytelling content
• Independently manage your shooting schedule and editing workflow

What We’re Looking For

• Previous photography experience required
• Strong eye for storytelling, candid moments and action photography
• Adobe Lightroom experience strongly preferred
• Must bring a laptop capable of photo editing
• Professional camera equipment is an asset, though camera equipment can be provided by camp if needed
• 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
