Photography Camp for Kids at Heart

  • Play

    Come play at kids camp for adults. We’ve got loads of camp games planned including canoe races, scavenger hunts, and capture the flag.
    Be a kid again at Camp Camp and play while we create.

    Let's Play

  • Create

    Learn from some epic photographers on the East Coast. Play is integral to creating and we’re mixing both to give you the best camp experience possible. We’ve got an incredible line up of workshop hosts for you to learn from and play with. Get out of your heads and back into what drew you to photography in the first place. ITS FUN!
    Also, Milford House has the best light I’ve ever played with and October is crazy dreamy.

    Let's Play!

FAQs

  • You should have a fairly solid grasp on how to photograph in manual mode before coming to this, but you do not need to be a professional photographer to join.

  • NOPE, Honestly, I’ve run so many retreats now, that I can say with certainty that things shift even the day off. Sometimes workshops go over time, sometimes lunch takes longer than expected, sometimes we get inspired and don’t want to stop the play at a session. So yes, things will change, inevitably.

  • The cabins are RUSTIC! And super charming and cozy. You might have a squirrel poke its head through and say hi, but they are very clean and the beds are comfy. They have those squeaky screen doors that bring you straight back to childhood. You all know what I’m talking about!
