Teen Camp 2026

For Summer Camp Graduates Only

Take your teen’s photography skills to the next level with Photosprouts’ Advanced Level Teen Summer Photography Camp 2026 — a 6-day, skill-building experience designed for graduates of our Teen Summer Photography Camp who are ready to go deeper into creative and technical photography.

Campers will explore advanced genres like dramatic off-camera-flash portraits, San Francisco night photography, light painting, long exposure waterfall shots, macro photography, and street photography — all while learning advanced editing in Adobe Lightroom Classic & Photoshop (AI).

We provide pro-level equipment including Canon R50 mirrorless cameras, ND/GND filters, extension tubes, studio lights, and campers will print five 8×10” photos to take home.

This hands-on camp blends classroom learning with real outdoor shoots and keeps groups small for personalized guidance — perfect for teens passionate about photography and ready to elevate their vision.

Points to Note (please read):

Sprouts need to bring their own laptop computers everyday and tripods in Days 1 and 3. The computers need to have Adobe LIGHTROOM CLASSIC and PHOTOSHOP 2026 installed. Adobe Photoshop 2026 is the AI version of the regular Photoshop software.
Sprouts' safety is our top priority. There are activities that we would prohibit them from doing, for example, climbing the rocks in Huntington Waterfall. A list of safety guidelines will be emailed to parents prior to the camp, we need parents' cooperation to remind the Sprouts the activities that are prohibited.
Lunch and dinner is not included. Sprouts will have lunch together in SF Financial District, average meal cost is $20-$22 per day. Parents can also pack lunch for the Sprouts. Please advise us of any food allergies.
Each sprout will print 5 photos (8x10") with our professional, in-house printer. The prints are of high quality. Print costs are included in the camp fees.
Transitions between classroom sessions and field trips will be via Uber. This arrangement is to save time finding a park spot in the city.
