SUMMER YOUTH CAMP 2025: Digital Photo, CPR, SAT Prep & Culinary Arts

Both middle school and high school students experience a variety of engaging and enriching programs at Continuing Education’s Summer Youth & Teen Programs. Our unique one- and two-week, hands-on programs are offered in partnership with the College’s Culinary Arts Institute. Programs emphasize self-discovery, cognitive reasoning, and cooperative thinking using a hands-on approach.

Ages 9 - 15 YRS OLD

This course offers a creative opportunity for anyone with or without experience who are interested in improving their skills in digital photography. Using any digital camera we will examine the concept of exposure, color balance, and composition and lighting techniques. We may explore projects like macro (close-up) photography, landscape, portraiture and learn about post-production editing at HCCC computer lab.

The week includes a field trip to a local destination for an on-location photo shoot & a Photo exhibit at the end of the week of each photographer.
