The Activities: photoFocus Camp will broaden your knowledge of light and photography! We’ll take digital photographs, recreate film-camera techniques, and design a mirror based art installation! Hosted at Hemisfair Park, we’ll spend lots of time outside exploring, using photographic tools, and doing activities such as:
-Making photograms and photographs
-Light painting with long exposure photography (like the picture above)
-Closing exhibition, where campers get to show their work off to their parents
The Instructors: Bridge Camp is directed by Cade Bradshaw, an artist and summer camp veteran! Our Bridge Staff are the best and brightest – and include certified teachers, scientists, artists, and parents!
The Idea: Campers at photoFOCUS will engage with photography in a deeper way by exploring the origins of photographic tools, doing experiments on the properties of light, and looking at contemporary light-based artists. Every student will leave camp with at least 1 printed photograph, photograms, and the confidence to start new projects on their own. More than a ready-made project (and free of popsicle sticks or glitter) photoFOCUS is fun, useful, and confidence building!

-Ages 10-13 (some exceptions can be made, please email contact@bridgesatx.com)
-Dropoff from 8-8:30am, pickup from 3-3:30pm
