What Our Clients Are Saying
“What a wonderful class! My 4 and 7 year olds enjoyed it so much! Instructors are knowledgable and very experienced with children, and the kids get to use real professional cameras throughout the course. In every class they learn basic concepts of photography, and they get to practice their skills through fun and creative activities. By the end of the term they get to showcase they work. It is wonderful to watch them feel so proud and accomplished! I definitely recommend this class. “

“Kids with Camera has helped my son build his confidence and express his creativity away from iPads and video games. He always looks forward to the next class, and has learned so much. I am amazed and impressed at the photos he has taken - it gives me a glimpse of the world through his eyes!”

Parent, 6th grader
“Kids with Cameras has been so beneficial for our 4 1/2 year old son. We were worried he would be too young. But from the very beginning he loved it. He even asked me to leave the first day! From the community events (Halloween and a gallery show!) to staff support and responsiveness, our whole family benefits. Our son loves his “picture class” and so do we!“
