camp reviews
“My 15 year old daughter took Mindy’s week-long camp and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. The teens met at her place and from there made excursions around NYC that I I would never have taken her on in a million years — but the trips were so cool and quintessentially NY that my daughter came out of the class talking about how much she enjoyed seeing the city. But on a technical side, Mindy only allowed the kids to to use manual mode and taught them how to use aperture and shutter speed on their cameras. Mindy is an excellent teacher and has designed a really great camp for her students.”
“This class was so much fun. I wanted to do a photography class this week and was lucky enough to have found this awesome class. The trips we went on could not have been better thought out. I was happy to meet awesome kids around my age who also share a passion for photography.”
“We had been looking for a good, one-week class that would really encourage our son to explore his growing passion for photography. This was everything we wanted...and probably more. Thanks.”
