Visual Story Telling Workshop

Camp Teetonkah, September 30 - October 2, 2016

Imagine thousands of Scouters armed with still cameras and audio recorders, hunting great Scouting stories to share via social media sites. That’s the vision for the BSA’s Visual Storytelling Workshop which is coming right here to Michigan!

This course will focus on composition of a good photo, telling a story in a single picture, telling a story in multiple pictures, picture editing and more. This course will move you from classroom instruction to field shooting with professional mentors.

Registration cost: $75 which includes food and lodging at Camp Teetonkah Participants will be asked to bring their own camera(s) and/or computers. Space is limited to first 20 registrants!
