Photography & Storytelling

Our lives are a collection of moments. This week, we will slow down and learn to capture time through different lenses. Campers will explore photography as a storytelling tool, learning to identify and capture stories while experimenting with a variety of photo techniques and processes. By the end of the week, campers will become storytellers, sharing their art with the world.
