The Role In A Nutshell
We’re looking for a Camp Videographer to help capture all of the summer’s magical moments. This role starts June 7 and runs through August 11 at our summer camp in Hayward, Wisconsin. Room with the opportunity to extend through late August or early September if desired. Room and board is included with compensation.

A Typical Day as the camp videographer (not that there’s a typical day at camp…)

  • Wake up and grab breakfast with some of the other out-of-cabin staff. You ask how their day off was yesterday – they went to Duluth and hung out at the beach!
  • The First Period bell rings, so you head over to riflery and archery to get some action shots for the camp video.
  • The rain clouds roll in during Second period, so you head to the Lodge to finish some editing work for our Counselor Intro video that we’ll be sending to parents. You shot that footage during pre-camp orientation and it just needs some final special touches before we post it on social media for our parents.
  • The lunch bell rings, so you head back to the Lodge to grab some grilled cheese and tomato soup. You sit with some of the office staff and catch up on the morning.
  • After lunch, it’s Rest Period for the campers – you head to one of the cabins to film some footage for the camp website.
  • Third Period comes around and there are a lot of activities happening on the athletic fields. Wanting a birds eye view of the action, you take the office drone to get some footage from the air. You fly the drone over the softball fields, football game, and Gaga pit, catching some incredible footage.
  • The rest of the afternoon is Green-White events, so you roam from activity to activity to capture the team spirit as the teams compete in basketball, canoe relays, and soccer.
  • It’s dinner time! BBQ Chicken and Martha’s Cinnamon Bread – your favorite meal at camp.
  • Evening program is an All-Camp Campfire. You head to the Council Ring and make sure you find a good spot to capture some footage of the evening – talking contests, singalongs and more.
  • As the campers head back to their cabins for the night, you head to the Lodge to review some of the footage you shot that day. You make sure to file some of the best footage away in a folder on your computer so you can be sure to add it to the End of Summer Yearbook that you’ll be responsible for putting together.
  • After lights out, some of the counselors come to the Lodge so you find some friends to get a game of Euchre going while you eat some ice cream and share hilarious stories from that day’s events.

This Job Might Be For You If:

  • You’re a future Steven Spielberg or Kathryn Bigelow. Thinking of majoring in film at school? Like making home videos with your friends? If you have a passion for capturing the world by video, working at camp is a perfect way to build your portfolio and refine your skills.
  • You’re creative.Videos are the perfect way to tell the story. Do you have an idea how we can creatively share the magic that happens at camp with the world? We’d love to hear it – and love to have you shoot it!
  • You have an eye for detail.While we’re not a professional movie studio, programs like Adobe Premiere and iMovie let us put together semi-professional videos for our website and social media. You’ll need to be excellent at creatively piecing together the footage you film – all while making sure the little details like audio issues and jump cuts are edited out.
  • You’re organized. You’ll be responsible for putting together our Summer-In-Review Video Yearbook after the summer. Our best videos often come together throughout the summer when our videographer builds the yearbook as the summer unfolds, putting aside the best clips to use later in the yearbook.
  • You’re a team player. Being a part of the North Star community means working well with others – whether on the job or hanging out with staff on time off. There are personal sacrifices that come with being at camp but the rewards are worth it for a summer of fun and personal growth.
  • You love being everywhere and anywhere to capture the magic of camp. Whether it’s UN Day, North Star Games, a camping trip, or just a regular program period, there are so many exciting events to capture throughout the summer. The best videographers are the ones who are constantly on the move making sure we can capture the game’s winning goal or the cabin that is having the most fun.

  • A competitive salary
  • Room and board (3 meals a day and snacks at night) for the entire summer
  • Travel expense reimbursement
  • A beautiful camp surrounded by a stunning waterfront
