The Comox Valley Camera Club was created to share and promote amateur photography. We are passionate for the art and technology of digital imagery and enhancement, and strive to learn and grow with every new photographic experience.
We meet twice monthly (the second and fourth Mondays) at Queneesh Elementary School, 2345 Mission Road, in Courtenay, B.C., with the meetings commencing at 7:00 p.m. Visitors are welcome to join us and see for themselves how our talented and expanding group functions.
Aside from club business, our meetings provide opportunities for groups and individuals to enter competitions, lead or participate in educational sessions, create and share slideshows, showcase personal achievements, and socialize with others having a common interest.
Photo outings are organized regularly, and include visits to local points of interest and events, as well as periodic overnight trips to other cities, islands and locales. Input from the general membership is valued for ideas and coordination of these trips.
Affiliation with other photographic organizations provides us with new challenges and educational opportunities, as well as occasional travel to other communities to take in photographic shows and presentations.
From time to time, guest speakers on various photographic topics add another dimension to our educational component, and always leave us further inspired.
Two social gatherings are held each year. Our Christmas party is an informal event including prizes, great food and a festive atmosphere. In July, we gather on a casual basis at our annual Garden Party, where we share a potluck meal and present Honourary or Lifetime Memberships to selected recipients.
Gallery showings and sales are scheduled each year, and allow interested members the opportunity to showcase and sell their art.
Whether you have trouble turning on the new digital camera you received for your birthday, or are a semi-professional with an interest in sharing your love of the craft with others of like mind, we’re certain to provide you with just the right level of knowledge and involvement you seek.
