Break the Rules

Now that campers know the rules, let’s learn how to break them. In this first section of the camp, we’ll show kids new compositional rules and how to master their camera settings to go beyond a proper exposure.

Creative Exploration

This camp will encourage kids to continue exploring photography as a creative art. They’ll be introduced to more conceptual ideas like creating a photo essay or shooting a self portrait.

More Advanced Techniques

Now that kids know the basics, they’ll be taught even more advanced shooting techniques like how to create black and white images or how to capture silhouettes. They’ll also jump into the world of phone photography by learning some really cool, handy tricks!

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 and at least a month in advance. Avoid the rush – register early and secure a spot!

What are your registration policies?

Policies:

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

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.
