September 30- December 6  on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-8pm, and on Saturdays from 12-4pm, at The Conservatory at Bethel Woods.  We require participants to attend on Saturdays, as these are important (and exciting!)  informational sessions.  Participants can opt into one or both Tuesday and Thursday evenings to work independently on projects (with support from Teaching Artist staff).

Anyone between the ages 14 and 18.

All participants will be given a digital SLR camera to use over the course of the program. 

There will always be at least 3 members of the Bethel Woods staff on site to mentor and teach our teen participants for the full duration of the program. These folks will include the programs primary Teaching Artist, guest lecturers, and Program Managers.

 This program is totally free for participants.

Our state of the art Lab is equipped with Mac computers and high level printers. The program will be designed to offer introductory workshops in digital photography and photo editing. During Open Studio time, participants will explore creative projects of their choosing, with talented Teaching Artists and trained staff to mentor them along the way.

Sure! You are welcome to choose a different learning track to unlock new skills or pursue your passions with an independent project guided by our supportive Teaching Artists.

The Saturday seminars, from 12–4 PM, are required. Students can choose Tuesday or Thursday evenings (or both) from 6–8 PM as their studio time.
