During this skills-based workshop, participants will learn techniques to capture
such moments on film or pixel. Classroom lectures on composition, lighting,
manual camera settings, and other pertinent topics will be punctuated with
sunset and sunrise shoots at a variety of locations along the lofty South Rim. A
tour of historic Kolb Studio to ponder the legacy of the Grand Canyon’s most famous resident photographers will provide a fitting backdrop to the proceedings. Daily critique sessions will allow participants to improve their game as the workshop progresses.
Hands on Botany

This class will help in this noble endeavor, with a special emphasis on the
ponderosa pine forests and pinyon-juniper woodlands found on the South Rim. In
the company of NPS experts, students will learn to identify native plant species
while participating in guided plant walks from Hermits Rest to Desert View and
by paying a visit to the park’s plant nursery. Instruction on how to grow and plant high-elevation native species will also be discussed. This fun-filled, informative class will allow participants to get their hands dirty while learning plant propagation and planting techniques.
