We are seeking a student with experience in Communications and Social Media to help boost our camp's marketing and manage our office. The Social Media & Office Manager 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. Additionally, they will spend some time in the office managing some operational tasks allowing camp to operate smoothly.
Why Work at Beyond Akeela
As much as Beyond 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. All the while you'll be having a FUN summer, outside of a classroom or office environment.
