Description: We will start each day at 9am at the Meridian School located at the Good Shepard Center in Wallingford.
Each day will be a specific technical + artistic theme that kids learn about, practice, and share. Topics include: getting a decent image, up-close photography, capturing motion, and how to make any image interesting, creating words with images, patterns, and creating crazy perspectives. By the end of the week, we’ll identify our favorite photos to create a virtual slide show to be shared with camper families.
Required items to bring: Campers must have a camera with some sort of manual controls. More details to be provided by Meridian, however, campers will need to bring at least 2 clean masks per day, a morning snack lunch, and bagged lunch. Additional what-to-bring will be provided upon registration. Reach out to Jay if you have questions about cameras that work well for this age group.

[Our son] has been going to summer camps since he was five, so he attends about 8 to 10 different camps every summer. Your camp is one of the best ones he has attended. He learned so much this week and as a parent I appreciate the daily communication. The photos were absolutely wonderful in the slide show, and then to see the children’s smiling faces mixed in made we fall in love with your program.
