DIGITAL MEDIA
Campers have the opportunity to learn how to use a DSLR camera in our digital photography elective. They begin with understanding the camera and end with editing their photos to walk away with their portfolio of pictures. Our video editing elective is an opportunity for campers to integrate their writing, editing, and directing skills. The group works together to write a short film, act and direct in it and then edit it to show the entire camp.
