From March 27 to March 31 2010, National Geographic Photo Camp will be taking place in Barbados. Students from nine schools will participate in the four-day workshop, which will be focussed on portraying issues and ideas related to water, water scarcity and water conservation.
During the four-day workshop, [National Geographic photographers Sam] Abell and [Matt] Moyer together with Photo Camp staff will mentor the students as they expand their understanding of water issues central to their lives. Abell, Moyer and camp staff will brief them on photographic vision, equipment and technique, and lead them through the process of creating a story through photography and writing. The assignments and activities will focus on water scarcity, conservation, the beauty of water and how its forces have shaped the island. Camp staff will help the students document these issues in a meaningful way.

Participants, their families and the community are invited to a final presentation of the students’ work on Wednesday, March 31, at The Errol Barrow Center for Creative Imagination, University of the West Indies, Cave Hill.
National Geographic has partnered with the US embassy in Barbados and the Barbados Museum and Historical Society to bring the Photo Camp to Barbados.
