In this intermediate photography class, students learn the fundamentals of photography, including depth of field, composition, lighting, and an introduction to shutter speed, aperture and ISO. They will further discuss the camera basics to get them even more familiar with the camera they own.
They will learn how to more effectively use their personal cameras, develop skills in composition and design, and further develop their creative instincts. Students are given time to practice and explore their learning in photography with hands-on experience.
Explore your passion in photography, allow your artistic skill to flourish, and develop necessary presentation skills.
Required: Students must bring their own camera (not a smartphone).
Parents may drop off their student or may attend and observe.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you got stranded, in the winter, away from shelter? What would you do to survive? What kind of shelter will you build? What plants are edible and medicinal? How do you treat hypothermia? Come to our Winter Wilderness Survival Workshop and find out.
You will learn how to build a winter shelter (a snow hut or ‘quinzhee’), and discuss other examples of winter shelters. We’ll examine the shelters animals make in the winter and why some animals hibernate or migrate and why some don’t. We will discuss animal winter food sources and then go on a foraging walk to look for winter survival food and medicine. We’ll also learn how to do first aid for hypothermia. When you arrive, we will have a roaring fire going.
$55 per person, age 7+
