The Lake Country Art Gallery has a brand new summer camp for tweens and teens this summer.
The full day, week-long camp, will focus on the basics of photography and associated mediums with field trips to test out and learn new skills.
Zev Tiefenbach, camp co-ordinator, will bring his experience as a photographer and teacher.
“I’ve found that facilitating processes that allows the local kids to photograph their own places brings me a lot closer to the images that I’m most passionate about.”
Topics at the camp will introduce participants to Photoshop, digital manipulation, printmaking and creative writing.
Local artists will be a part of the program and work with participants to help them find their creative voice.
The camp will culminate in a showing, with the collected works put on display at the University of B.C. campus.
The week-long camp is open for youth between the ages of 8 and 14 and starts July 9. Camp hours are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
