Social Media & Photography Intern

Use your experience in Communications, Marketing, and Social Media to help boost our camp's marketing and online presence. The Social Media and Photography Intern will spend their day traveling around camp, capturing photo and video of campers having the best summer ever! They will then post images to keep families informed of how their kids are doing at camp, and create social media posts and videos for marketing purposes. 

 Our campers are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, or a similar profile. Camp Akeela is a traditional coed New England summer camp for children between 4th and 10th grade, structured in a way that develops social skills, confidence, and independence in a socially immersive community.

Why work at Akeela

As much as Akeela is about its campers, we place a tremendous emphasis on building a sense of community for everyone at camp. You’ll walk away with a community of staff who you’ve networked with professionally and built amazing friendships with socially. You’ll feel a new sense of pride because you helped create a community for your campers. Camp jobs offer invaluable skill-building, leadership, training, and enrichment opportunities found nowhere else. Regardless of your college major, camp experiences allow you to learn and develop skills that will enhance your job marketability.

We are seeking energetic students and recent grads who will use their knowledge and experience in youth development to facilitate an enriching, safe, and fun camp experience for their campers.
