A one-week, full-day camp for middle-school students combining the fun of observing nature in its vast diversity with the fun of digital photography.  After an orientation on what to look for and after choosing his/her “Favorite Place” among the many habitats on the Bray Hollow Nature Conservancy, the participant will visit that location every morning to look for, identify, describe, and record – through digital photography and/or other artistic media – the varied plant and animal life they encounter at their “Favorite Place.”  Afternoons will be spent in learning to electronically manipulate the images captured in each morning’s walk and to prepare various artistic renderings of the biodiversity observed at the Nature Center.  On completion of the camp, a special showing of the participants’ work will follow at the Pitt County Arts Council at Emerge then the young Scientist-Artist’s work will be available for take-home.
