National Geographic Photo Camp introduces the power of photography to young people across the world.
Each Photo Camp is an immersive experience where students receive instruction and guidance from National Geographic Explorers and photographers, build skills and confidence, explore the world around them and develop deep connections with each other. Through intimate presentations in their own communities and public exhibitions that reach millions of viewers, National Geographic Photo Camp showcases global youth perspectives on issues that are important to all of us.
“Now I can tell a story using pictures. I can now let the whole world know what is happening here.”
“Photo Camp’s mission is to inspire the next generation of storytellers as they explore the power of their own voice, share their ideas through photography and writing and connect with others.”
“I learned from Photo Camp that I don’t need words to be heard by people across the globe — my photos can speak for me.”
“Photo Camp inspires kids to be Explorers … to explore their own world in a deeper way and ultimately change all of our worlds.”
“It has to do with putting this voice-making piece of gear in someone’s hand, so they feel their message can be heard.”
