SAN FRANCISCO (March 29, 2013)-From April 4 to 7, a group of 20 students from San Francisco and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region of California will use photography to document their journey from the Delta to the San Francisco Bay, learning about environmental issues related to water supply and the ocean, during a National Geographic Photo Camp.
The project is a collaboration between National Geographic Mission Programs, the Full Circle Fund, the 34th America's Cup Healthy Ocean Project and Restore the Delta. This unique collaboration was inspired and brought together by Full Circle Fund, a philanthropic organization of Bay Area professionals that supports innovative organizations to accelerate positive social change.
National Geographic photographer Kip Evans and National Geographic Daily News photo editor Adrian Coakley will guide the students as they trace their connection to the Bay and Delta using photography and writing. The students will participate in an educational curriculum before the Photo Camp that will provide a global context for environmental literacy and water as well as lessons focused on the Delta watershed.
During the Photo Camp, Evans, Coakley and Restore the Delta staff will mentor the students on the basics of photography and lead them through the process of creating a story through images and writing. The students are from Stockton Collegiate International Schools in Stockton, Calif., and Downtown High School in San Francisco.
Oceanographer and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Sylvia Earle will speak to the group at NatureBridge at Golden Gate. Students will have the opportunity to work with the America's Cup Healthy Ocean Project partners, teams and volunteers on a beach cleanup and will take a behind-the-scenes tour of ORACLE TEAM USA's base at Pier 80 to document recreational uses of the Bay.
The students' final multimedia presentation will be shown on Sunday, April 7, at the Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco. The students' work will also be exhibited at the 34th America's Cup races being held in San Francisco from July through September 2013. Through the America's Cup Healthy Ocean Project, a collaboration between leading ocean conservation groups, the America's Cup will use the global reach and appeal of the world's largest sailing event to inspire millions of people to care about the ocean. The Photo Camp students' photography will be a main component of the Healthy Ocean Project programming this summer.
We hope that Photo Camp will provide an opportunity for the young participants to discover their home and environment in a new way while also fostering positive attitudes and leadership skills, said Terry Garcia, National Geographic's executive vice president for Mission Programs. We've seen Photo Camp activities give new voice to youth, and supporting Photo Camp allows National Geographic to further its mission to inspire people to care about the planet.
Olympus Imaging America Inc. has provided cameras for the Photo Camp.
More than 1,000 young people in over 60 locations have taken part in National Geographic Photo Camps since 2003. Photo Camp will also present a program this year in the Channel Islands of California, in partnership with Ocean for Life. Visit nationalgeographic.com/photocamp for more information.
