The Shutterbugs Club is a photography group offered to kids from grades 4 to one year after high school. The group goes on photo walks and different activities to find good photo opts.
At their monthly club meetings they get to share their best shots and learn more about photography topics.
The club is accepting new members, and there is no fee to join the club. All experiences are encouraged to join, and no equipment beyond a phone camera is necessary.
For more information, email the club at shutterbugs4hclub@gmail.com or check out their website morris4h.com
