Atwater Photo Camp

Atwater Photo Camp is a super fun and exciting 5-day photo adventure that inspires kids to explore their world in a deeper way. Through games and activities designed to challenge perspective, we build skills with camera, light, and storytelling. 
 
We begin with a basic overview of camera functions. Then through practice, we learn how to make images, rather than take them. Each day we review our work, and on Friday we host an exhibit where campers showcase their work for friends & family.
 
Ultimately campers develop their photographic eye and learn new ways of seeing.
 
Daily Activities:
– Visual inspiration & discussion
– Instruction of new styles, tools, and techniques
– Assignments for the day’s expedition
– Photo adventure – morning
– Lunch
– Photo adventure – afternoon
– Photo review & discussion
– Final thoughts
– Fun Work
 
Each day and every week is completely unique

Photo Camp counselors are working photographers who have been in the industry for years. With experience in education and childhood development, they understand how to ignite passion and curiosity in a non-competitive environment.
 
Lunch: Please bring a bagged lunch or cash for lunch on location.
Snacks and beverages will be provided.
 
It’s ideal if campers bring their own cameras because each one is a little different and it’s good to be able to bond with your own camera. Also, we have fun (optional) assignments each night, so having your own camera is very helpful in this way. That said, we have extra cameras, which campers can use. Point & shoots are readily available.
