Olympic Peninsula Photography Expedition

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Join a group of explorers and travel along the jaw-dropping Olympic Peninsula. We’ll meet up at our first campsite in Quilcene on day one, where we’ll share stories and greetings while enjoying a delicious lunch. During this five day trip along the peninsula, we’ll visit Hood Canal, Port Angeles, Joyce, Forks and Kalaloch. Stopping here and there to learn how to document and capture landscapes, waterfalls, livestock, people, sunsets, and so much more. Born and raised in Washington?
