Digital Nature Photography Camp

PVAS holds a one-week digital nature photography camp for ten high school students each summer. Participants learn the fundamentals of digital nature photography and image editing. Using Nikon digital cameras that PVAS provides, high school students capture images of nature, wildlife, and natural resources in the areas in and around Shepherdstown, WV.

The program takes advantage of the natural and cultural heritage of the Shepherdstown area by visiting and photographing areas such as the C&O Canal, Town Run, the riverfront in Shepherdstown, the Potomac River, and other sites in and around town.

The experience will be balanced with technical computer skills by having students learn how to manage and edit their images using a computer lab with free downloadable software. Each student will be sent home with all of the images he/she captured over the week.

In 2013, the dates are June 17-21 at Shepherd University and you can register here.
