Composition and Helpful Tips

In this camp, kids will start training their eyes to see great images right in front of them! Compositional rules and helpful hints for different subject matter like portraiture and landscape will be covered.

How many campers are in your sessions?

Virtual programs will run from 4 to 12 campers depending on the program. Based on our experience, we have found that campers are able to grasp the concepts better in small class sizes. This allows them to ask questions as we go and get personal attention.

When does registration close?

Registration is open until the Friday before the session begins. Please note that in prior years most of our camps have sold out months in advance. In order to guarantee enrolment, we recommend registering as soon as you know your schedule. Avoid the rush – register early and secure a spot!

What are your registration policies?

Policies:

Prepayment is required to confirm your registration and in the class / camp / workshop.
All sessions begin promptly at the stated time. Any missed material is forgone by the student.

Cancellation by Campers:

Cancellations are non-refundable whether the camper cancels or fails to show up for camp; however, if cancellation is received within 14 days prior to the scheduled session, we will reschedule you to another session but a $50 administration fee will apply.

Cancellation by GTAPC:

GTA Photography Classes reserves the right to cancel or postpone any camp if there is inadequate enrolment. In the event that a camp must be cancelled, you will be notified by email with adequate notice (please be sure to register using the email address where you can best be reached). You may then either reschedule for another session or receive reimbursement of camp fees.
