Our BRAND NEW photography program is designed specifically FOR KIDS (ages 8+) who want to LEARN & understand the basics of photography, editing, storytelling and studio work.

4-Week Foundational Camp

Photography is so much more than just a creative hobby! It builds self-esteem, encourages mental health, teaches mindfulness, facilitates perspective taking and innovative thought, and gives children a new form of self-expression that builds a healthy sense of self-identity. It also helps children connect, with each other, with family, and with their community at large.

WHEN KIDS LEARN THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY, THEY LEARN TO SEE THE WORLD IN A BRAND NEW WAY. A WAY THAT NECESSITATES PATIENCE AND HONES THEIR SKILLS OF OBSERVATION AND PERCEPTION. RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT THE ABILITY TO DELAY GRATIFICATION IS ONE OF THE BEST PREDICTORS OF FUTURE ACADEMIC AND LIFE SUCCESS. WHEN A LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHER PATIENTLY WAITS FOR THE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE THE LANDSCAPE FROM JUST THE RIGHT ANGLE, THEY ARE DELAYING THEIR GRATIFICATION. AND WHEN A WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER SITS QUIETLY WHILE OBSERVING A MOTHER BEAR INTERACT WITH HER CUBS, WAITING FOR JUST THE PERFECT MOMENT TO CLICK THE SHUTTER, THEY ARE DELAYING THEIR GRATIFICATION. PHOTOGRAPHY DEFINITELY REQUIRES PATIENCE! PERHAPS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THOUGH, PHOTOGRAPHY CULTIVATES AN APPRECIATION FOR THE PROCESS. LEARNING IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST THE END RESULT!

LEARNING THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF PHOTOGRAPHY, SUCH AS MANIPULATING CAMERA SETTINGS, COMPOSING A FRAME, OBSERVING AND INCLUDING THE LIGHT ARTISTICALLY, WORKING OUT THE MOST IDEAL ANGLE, AND GETTING THE FOCUS JUST RIGHT, SHARPENS PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS THAT CAN EASILY BE APPLIED TO OTHER ACADEMIC SUBJECTS AND AREAS OF LIFE.
