Art and Digital Photography Jr. - Arts & Media Camps

Designed specifically for campers ages 7 – 10 who would like to learn the fundamentals of photography. Behind the lens of their own digital camera, campers will learn the 5 basic rules of photography: Simplicity, The Rule of Thirds, Lines, Balance, and Framing. A professional photographer and camp staff provide top-level instruction in the rudiments that all photographers master.

Campers will practice taking pictures in various locations on Appleby’s beautiful 60-acre campus. Our fully equipped digital media lab provides a great environment for campers' imaginations, using Photoshop to develop images as well as learning how to adjust perspectives, colour and saturation as well as experimental editing projects. 

Campers will need to bring their own camera, fully charged battery, empty memory card, USB thumb drive and lots of enthusiasm as they explore the world of digital photography. Campers will be venturing out for field work so please ensure the camera they use is something that households are comfortable with being intensively handled. 

The program also includes a well-rounded day with supervised recreational activities outdoors, photo scavenger hunts, recreational swim time and includes a nutritious hot lunch. Each campers’ week culminates in designing a showcase exhibition of their best photographs, that family and friends are invited to attend.
