Description:

NEW CAMP! Ready for a daily biking adventure in addition to learning how to take great pictures? We’ve combined two of our most popular camps into one! We’ll hit the road on our bikes, seeking out local destinations such as Thatcher Woods, cafes and recreation areas while also learning to take photos from your most accessible device - your cell phone! Experiment with what makes better selfies; and improve your photos with better lighting, composition, and focus. Explore the basics of photography from working with a smartphone camera to using creative apps to develop and enhance your images. Finish the week with a digital slideshow of your work and showcase your new skills gained as a visual storyteller! Sign up with a friend and get ready to make new friends - it's time for a summer riding and photography adventure!

*Required daily items include a road-ready bike with gears (no dirt bikes), spare inner tube, bike lock, helmet, snacks, water bottle and closed-toe shoes.  Prompt arrival is a must, and bikers ride rain or shine (although not during thunderstorms). Bicycles should be inspected and tuned up at a local shop before the start of camp.
