Sun Prints and the Basics of Photography

We will also get a look at Cordelia Stanwood’s glass plate camera from the early 1900s. This is a hands-on program, and parents are welcome to participate. Afterwards, have a snack or lunch on the deck, meet Birdsacre's resident birds, or walk the trails. Ages 10-14 (with an accompanying adult). Registration is required.
