Experiential learning at its finest!

Taking place on a custom-built expedition vessel, this micro version of a semester at sea is the perfect ratio of adventure to learning, resulting in a respect and adoration for the marine environment that lasts a lifetime.

Atwater Photo Camp is a super fun and exciting 5 day photo adventure that inspires kids to explore their world in a deeper way. We’re thrilled to roll out all new field trips this year including galleries, museums, parks, the beach and so much more! Through clever games and activities designed to challenge the way we see, we build skills with camera, light and storytelling. All of this helps campers recognize, develop and celebrate their own unique voice.

Camp runs from 9am to 3pm, and each week is different. We make a ton of images and have a whole lot of fun! At the end of the week we host a photo exhibit for the kids to present their work to family & friends. Please let us know if you have any questions, we’d love to tell you everything!

Description:

A co-ed, traditional sleepaway camp for ages 7 to 16, uniquely located on a 900-acre ranch in the Sierras north of Lake Tahoe. Family-owned and operated since 1956, our limited enrollment and tech-free policy allow for a more personal experience and family-like feel that bring all of the camp together.
At MMR, campers experience more than the fun and activities that are a given of the camp experience, but also grow in self-confidence and character, fostering new friendships and memorable experiences that last a lifetime. Our entire program is centered around the principles of servant leadership and our guiding values that weave throughout the camp experience: inclusivity, empathy, stewardship, integrity, authenticity, and mindfulness.
