Through Yosemite Conservancy’s Yosemite Outdoor Adventures program you can join a Family Jamboree. This is perfect if your idea of a fun camping trip is one where you don't have to cook! Families enjoy optional day hikes, nature and geological tours or simply relaxing back at camp. Check Outdoor Adventures schedule for dates.
We also have fun with the concept of depth of field to create wacky trick photographs with kids and parents! Please plan to spend one hour in the field with your kids and our staff photographer on a short walk with many stops. Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather.
There are no restroom facilities available until our return from the walk. Walks leave promptly from the front porch of the Gallery at the scheduled time. The age limit is flexible, but a basic requirement is that the child should be able to follow directions from an instructor for an hour and be able to operate their own camera.
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11-12 (summers only). Location: Yosemite Village For full details visit Ansel Adams Gallery
