Outdoor Photography Workshop
“The Kumsheen Rafting Resort is one of the most beautiful places in all of British Columbia…”
– Samantha Iverson
The Kumsheen Photography Workshop provides a productive and exciting environment to enhance your outdoor photography skills. This workshop will give you the opportunity to try new techniques, learn from the expertise of skilled photographers, and share ideas with fellow students who have similar backgrounds and interests.
“The resort itself is the perfect compliment to the river raft adventure. With a poolside bar and hot tub, the amenities provide a great atmosphere for unwinding after a day of paddling the river. The tent rooms provide a soft bed to rest while staying true to the natural feel of the Kumsheen experience.”
– John Pigeon, Vancouver 24 Hours Magazine

The unique, exhilarating experience of traveling down a breathtaking river by raft while honing outdoor photography skills is energizing and stimulating; learning from the best photographers in the country is a distinct bonus. In a small group, you will disembark at designated locations with your instructor, set up your photography equipment, and capture the moment. Your subject may be a plant, a canyon, an abandoned church, a gnarly tree, a bird’s nest, or a fellow student. The object is to grasp and capture the details of your outdoor surroundings while enjoying every minute of the experience.
The stunning Resort, with the Thompson River’s White Canyon as a backdrop, provides another perfect setting for your perfect photos. From the first day to the last, you’ll discover that learning and your enjoyment are always our top priorities.
