What is Photo Camp?
National Geographic Photo Camp provides a meaningful introduction to photography for young people around the world. Each Photo Camp is an immersive experience where students receive instruction and guidance from world-class National Geographic Explorers and photographers, build skills and confidence, explore the world around them, and develop deep connections with each other.
This camp is specifically designed to empower Indigenous students to explore the geographic and cultural landscape and issues in and around Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Idaho.
