2026 - YMCA Camp Tumbleson Lake Media Specialist

Are you looking to capture the spirit of camp through photos and videos? Would you like to spend your summer at 9000ft in the sun-drenched mountains of Colorado? Our beautiful YMCA overnight and day camp is nestled in the Front Range near Boulder, and we are looking for Media Specialists to share the magic of camp.

So, what does the Media Specialist do? You will be responsible for the visual, virtual representation of our camp. The Media Specialist is expected to take videos and photos of campers, staff, and activities that occur during each session and produce an "End of Session" video by the end of each session. The media specialists in conjunction with the Media Coordinator will work with our association marketing department and the director team to curate our camp's social media presence. This will include editing photos and videos to post on our various social media pages. Your goal is to ensure that YMCA Camp Tumbleson Lake's online image is every bit as amazing and inspiring as it is in person!
