Registration Open now!
Any Skill Level
Instructors: Michael Zuhorski + Kelsey (BEEC)
August 11th-August 15th
9am-3pm
This class is for those interested in learning about and photographing the natural world. Each day, students will use cameras to explore notable natural environments in our region. For this class we are partnering with the Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center to give students in-depth experiences of mountaintops, winding rivers, rock-bound ponds, and more. We will take digital cameras to these places and use them to notice and photograph their intricate ecologies. This class will involve extensive hiking, environmental science, and a newfound sense of how photography can help us see the world in greater detail.
All equipment will be provided by In-Sight, and students will get to take cameras home to use on their own time.
This class is appropriate for intermediate students, and is open to ages 11-18.
