Get ready to ignite your child’s creativity and unleash their inner photographer. Youths aged 12 to 15 are invited to explore the world of photography at the 2025 ViewPoint Gallery Youth Photo Camp. Participants will advance their skills and find inspiration alongside fellow shutterbugs during this fun week of hands-on learning and experimentation. Students can explore both the technical and creative sides of photography with friendly experts in a beautiful gallery space.
At the Viewpoint Gallery youth camp, participants will dive into a wide range of creative and technical activities, exercises, and experiences that will shape their photographic skills. From understanding exposure and lighting to exploring non-traditional photography and alternative image-making processes, campers will embark on an enlightening journey that will expand their artistic horizons.
After the camp, students will be able to carry forward the knowledge and skills they have learned into their own photographic practices. With newfound expertise, they will be able to create thoughtful and captivating images with any camera they lay their hands on.
