Nature Documentaries & Photography

Immerse yourself in the great outdoors & explore photogrpahy!

Recharge and enjoy the outdoors! Experience the great outdoors from a different viewpoint as we explore nature using both a still and video camera at camp. Participants will learn all about lighting, composition, and capturing the perfect moment in a photograph, while also learning about the natural flora and fauna around them. Kids will then try out their acting and directing skills as they make a short documentary about an element of the park, from the creepy crawlies, or the hidden plants, to the birds in the air! With David Attenborough as our inspiration, we will get a bit closer to the nature within our own city. Movie projects can be documentary style or even more spoof-like, think Best in Show! Your child is sure to have an amazing time being creative in the wild.
