8th – Wilderness Photography

Springtime in Central Texas is beautiful, and our 8th grade spring campout helps our dads and daughters and dads and sons slow down and enjoy it for a weekend.  With our own slice of Texas’ hill country at our disposal, our teams will learn how to operate their cameras’ more advanced functions to best capture action shots, landscapes, portraits and more.

One of slower-paced and less action-packed campouts, Wilderness Photography remains a HATS favorite weekend.  Dads and daughters/sons get to spend the day together exploring trails, hills, and creeks, experimenting with their cameras and taking photos of nature and of each other.  After dinner on Saturday, oohs and aahs abound as teams share their favorite photos from the day in a slideshow on our outdoor, fireside movie screen.

After we’ve spent some time viewing the world through a viewfinder, our Sunday morning breakout session invites dads and daughters/sons to take a different perspective on things and “Open Your Eyes to the Things Around You”.  In addition to a relaxing weekend and special bonding time, our dads and daughters/sons report feeling more confident in their photography skills, ready to capture memories of a lifetime on the coming Colorado Trek.
