Each weeklong and age appropriate camp session is designed to stimulate creativity and self-expression while fostering an understanding and appreciation of photography. All Camp sessions are full day and lunch is supervised, however students should bring their packed lunch. The PRC will provide digital cameras for use during camp, however students are welcome to use their own cameras. Students will also learn how to print pictures digitally. No previous photography experience is necessary. Students’ artwork will be exhibited at the PRC at the close of Photo Camp.
CAMP SESSIONS
LEARNING TO LOOK
8-10 Year Olds
July 14 - July 18 9:00am - 4:00pm
Through a series of fun activities, students will learn the basics of photography such as composing an image, perspective, balance, and color. They will explore traditional and non-traditional photographic processes to make and manipulate images and ideas. This camp will also teach students how to look at and engage with their world more critically in order to capture interesting photographic images, while fostering their creativity and expression.
KIDS TODAY
11-14 Year Olds
July 21 - July 25 9:00am - 4:00pm
Students will consider their lives, their city, and their concerns as subjetcs to create a book of their own photographs. They will learn about street photography, portraiture, narrative and constructed imagery, and other photographic approaches, as well as how to make and edit images for a book and write the accompanying text.
OUR STORIES
11-14 Year Olds
July 28 - August 1 9:00am - 4:00pm
Working in small groups, students will learn how to create both photo-journalistic and constructed or imaginary photo stories. They will spend part of the week developing “news” stories while learning how to create documentary images. They will also learn how to fabricate imaginary stories using a variety of photographic techniques. Students will investigate potential stories and subjects, photograph those subjects, edit and sequence their stories, and publish them in a finished book.
