Program Highlights

Unleash your creativity at our Photography Camp, which introduces young photographers to the magic of capturing the world through a camera lens. Campers will discover how a camera works, explore fun photography-based crafts and activities, and learn the basics of good photography practices, including composition, lighting and perspective.

Through hands-on exploration, campers will venture across campus and into the beautiful Wissahickon to find inspiration, collaborate with peers and let their creativity shine. Each day will offer opportunities to experiment with different styles of photography, from nature shots to portraits, and share their work in a supportive environment. Whether they’re snapping photos of a scenic trail or crafting a unique photo project, campers will build confidence, develop new skills, and leave with a portfolio of memories and newfound passion for photography.

Campers will have a camera to take home with them at the end of the week. (Cost included in tuition.)
