We Make Memories!
“Senai still remembers that week of photography camp as one of the best experiences she’s ever had!”— Norah (Parent 2013, commenting in 2023)
We Are Not Like Other Programs
“My son loves this camp because it isn’t like any other ‘camp’ experience. It’s for kids that are tired of the same camp schedules and activities. This is a group of artistic and motivated tweens and teens, all focused on making movies, spending 2 weeks of undivided time on their collective and individual ideas, learning acting, filming, editing and writing, that get in a van, chart their own day under the guidance and expertise of a great role model- Jennifer- a professional photographer, film maker, working artist. This is a real life experience kind of camp--teaching resourcefulness, teamwork & DIY skills.” — Nancy (Parent 2014)
Parents Appreciate Us!
“My daughter wasn't particularly interested in photography, but decided to try this with a friend. She thought Stephanie was amazing and declared this "the best summer ever!" She formed very close friendships traveling to unique locations around the city and she came away with a new genuine interest in photography and an eye for interesting composition.” — Deedee (Parent 2022)
Fun and Good Food!
“This is one of the best camps you literally get to walk around beautiful towns and buy all types of food.”— Griffin (Student 2021)
Students Use Their Work for Resumes
“Elfe was accepted to Boston Arts Academy for September . Half of her portfolio pieces, 10 out of 20, were photos from classes she has done with you. So thank you for being such a great teacher!” — Liz (Parent 2019-2021)
Our Students Come Back Again and Again!
“Easily the best camp I've done. Can't wait to see Big Picture having coastal overnight retreats.”— Owen (Student 2022, 23, 24)
Praise from a Parent
“Charlie had a great time and talked about it all weekend, showing everyone his pictures, and uses one of the other kid's pics for his wallpaper. It was a great experience for him and I'm very grateful.”— James (Parent 2021)
Praise for Teachers
"Stephanie and Jack absolutely made my week. They taught me so much about photography and overall just made the experience so much better. It was obvuous that they not only cared about the students but the learning as well. This was my first time at Big Picture, but after the first day it didn't feel like that at all." Abbey (student 2021)
