FotoFest's Summer Camp is a photography and writing workshop guided by the Literacy Through Photography curriculum. Held June 23–27, 2025, this year's camp explores play and collaboration through hands-on learning experiences for all skill levels, from capturing stunning landscapes to mastering portrait photography.
Inspired by the artist duo Hillerbrand+Magsamen, students will consider materials of play (e.g., cards, dominos) and document collaborative community spaces using oral history recording, archive images, and new photographs.
