Big Skies, Bright Lights: Photography Summer Camp 2026

$235.00

For (incoming) grades 3-7

In this introductory half-day photography camp, documentary and portrait photographer Lily Landes will guide children as they learn the basics of aperture and shutter speed, and use those skills to explore the building blocks of photo composition to make photos come alive!

Kids will practice on teacher-guided tours around downtown Montpelier to capture the heart of our capitol city. Back in the studio, kids will learn how to edit and crop photos in Photoshop to create true works of art.

Children will need to bring their own digital cameras to the studio. We do have a couple cameras on hand for children to use if needed.
