This day camp will take students even further on their journey into the art of Photography! Students will cover new photographic techniques and hands-on practices.

Students will learn how to load film in the camera, receive tips for shooting manually, develop their negatives, print contact sheets, and then ultimately having a pop-up exhibition, showing off their work!

Campers will further explore darkroom and alternative photographic processes. This includes processing film, using filters, and experimenting with cyanotypes, solarization, layered negatives, and more!
