Sports Camp Photographer

About the role

Academy Camps is a modern approach to the sports camp experience, offering 1‑week sessions for boys and girls aged 10‑16 in baseball, basketball, football, soccer, squash, swimming, tennis, and volleyball. Campers choose one of eight “Academy Sports” and receive two intensive training sessions per day with high‑performance coaching staff. Outside of sports training, the camp delivers programming focused on Performance, Wellness, Mindset, and Leadership, mixed with traditional sleepaway camp fun. As a member of the AC Team, the Photographer will capture daily photo content of athletes and coaches, ensuring at least one image of every camper per day and uploading all photos each evening for parents and caregivers, as well as sharing images on social media year‑round. The photographer must follow camp staff rules and regulations as outlined in the Academy Camps Staff Playbook. Learn more at www.academycamps.com.
