Henry David Thoreau
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
Rudyard Kipling
"Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it…"
Pamela Vaull Starr
"Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, "Always do what you are afraid to do."
Johann Gottfried Von Herder
"Without inspiration the best powers of the mind remain dormant. There is a fuel in us which needs to be ignited with sparks."
Winston Churchill
"We are still masters of our fate. We are still captains of our souls."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
Columbia Gorge is the only photography camp in the US which is not in a city and is designed exclusively for teenagers. At our camp, the emphasis is on fun and photography skills. The 24 campers and staff will be out in the field most of every day, where they can hone their skills, while getting in touch with the environment.
We think the Columbia Gorge is a photographer’s paradise…rivers, waterfalls, snow-covered mountains, ancient forests and blue skies contribute to a perfect setting for nature photography. Active outdoor sports provide the second major theme of the camp. Our campers will take photographs of their fellow campers shooting whitewater rapids in an inflatable raft; hiking to the top of a waterfall for the shot that few others get; hiking to the snowfields of Mt. Hood for a close-up of climbers on the way to the top or snowboarders on the way to the bottom; and teens flying past on a sailboard at Hood River, the Mecca of that sport. Since getting to that “right” spot may take some physical effort, campers must be in reasonable condition and capable of hiking up to five miles in a day.
Our instructors will spend time with each camper critiquing their photos both individually and in a group. Toward the end of the session, we will assemble a multi-media slide show of their work to take home and share with family and friends.
