Buttercup: What are good photography summer camps for high school students?
My daughter would love to go to a photography camp this summer. Does anybody have any suggestions? She can take beautiful pictures with our Nikon D60, but has never had any formal training.

It really depends on where you love.
In Los Angeles, there’s this school called FIDM.
It’s mainly a school for fashion, but they have other subjects like Photography, music, interior decorating ect.

They offer summer programs for high school kids; although, they are very expensive. Scholarships are given to students who demonstrate AMAZING skills.

Hi Buttercup,

I suggest you check out . This free camp referral site lets you search for camps by location, compare camps, and watch videos and dvds of programs. The website allows you to compare camps by price and activities offered, so you are bound to find something that will fits your daughter’s interest in photography.

As far as photography camps go, I would suggest you send her to an arts camp so she can meet other high school students who share her interests and still participate in fun summer camp activities. I am not sure what part of the country you are looking to send your daughter to camp in, but I know of a great arts camp in California called Oxbow Summer Art Camp. To find out more, visit:

I hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your search.
