Calling all parents (and future photographers)!

Summer day camps are such a lifesaver — kids get to have fun, stay active, make friends, and parents get peace of mind while they work. There are SO many camps out there… but for the last couple of years I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing something a little different:

A Photography Camp for Kids!

I already have curriculum ideas ready to go, and I’d love to build a camp where kids can learn photography, creativity, storytelling, nature photography, camera basics, and just have a blast making cool images together.

I’m looking at potentially offering this NEXT summer (Summer 2027), and this is my first “feeler” post to see if this is something parents and kiddos would actually be excited about! I’m thinking middle school age would probably be the sweet spot.

So tell me:
📷 What makes a summer camp AWESOME for your kids?
📷 What activities do they love?
📷 What do you wish camps did differently?
📷 Would your kid be interested in a photography-focused camp?

I want to build something that’s genuinely fun, creative, and memorable — so give me ALL your ideas in the comments!
