About Photos at Camp.
Are you curious about our workflow, or have questions about why we do what we do? From daily pictures, to photo upload times, we have the answers for you. We know the importance of documenting your camper's experience for you. We will take photos every chance we get. We do not have a designated person to take photos or video at day camp and our number one priority, of course, is the campers. You can expect to see photos and videos to be posted one time each day. This will typically at the end of the day.
Please note:
Please note:
- There is no maximum or minimum number of images that may appear in a gallery We can only guarantee that your child will appear in your child’s group picture. Group photos are posted at the end of the week.
- There are far fewer photos to upload on days when we have inclement weather.
- We capture a wide range of emotions. Don’t worry if your camper isn’t smiling in one picture. We do our best to capture the range of emotions experienced by campers throughout the week. Just because your child isn’t smiling in a photo does not mean your child is unhappy or upset. If your child is upset or unhappy over an extended period, you’ll hear from us.
- We can’t fulfill photo requests. We don’t have the capacity to fulfill specific photo requests while maintaining our commitment to capturing the spirit of the camp experience.
- We regularly upload our favorite images to our social media sites including Facebook and Instagram.
- If you have any questions about our photography philosophy or Camp’s photo policies, please contact [email protected].
