The Boca Grande Camera Club
Join the Boca Grande Camera Club as we explore the ever-changing world of photography! New members are always welcome. The BGCC welcomes people of all levels of experience. Our members span the spectrum from phone photographers to beginner and professional photographers who meet to learn and improve, collaborate, and display their photography. Exceptional speakers, composition and creative ideas, workshops and field trips will be on the schedule along with a half-day member workshop. There are also many informal field trips, often led by one of our many talented members, throughout the year. Eleven regular Tuesday morning meetings are scheduled in the fall/winter season.
