Picture the Future Summer Photography Program

Session 1: July 16- 27 (Monday-Friday) * 9am-2pm * Ages 13-15 * FREE
Session 2: July 30- August 10 (Monday-Friday) * 9am-2pm * Ages 11-13 * FREE

Picture the Future is a creative/experiential summer program that weaves the skills of black and white film photography together with exploration of self-identity, family, community, and dreams. Throughout the two week session, participants will learn to develop their own film, print pictures, and even make their own cameras! We will venture out into the community to local spots such as the Contemporary Art Museum, the Arch, and the Mary Meachum Freedom Crossing in search of inspiration for our pictures. The program will culminate with a show of all the participant’s best photographs at the end of two weeks. We provide the camera and film, you provide the creativity and vision!


Adventures in Media: Making and Creating through Radio, TV, and Photography**
June 18-June 29 (Monday-Friday) * 9am-3pm * Ages 13-15 * FREE

Adventures in Media is an exciting, field-trip based exploration of food and nutrition through TV, radio, and photography. In order to discover how culture, food, and media affects us, we will be taking trips to radio stations, TV stations, urban farms, and grocery stores. The participants will also create their own media by performing skits and raps, designing posters, and ultimately making a video that will be posted to Youtube. Come prepared with plenty of creativity and energy because these two weeks will be packed with exploration and adventures in media. Light breakfast and lunch provided each day.

**This program is being offered through a partnership with:
