From the scenic shores of Lake Superior's Apostle Islands to the pine laden forest of the Superior National Forest workshop participants will journey to a variety of natural environments documenting their experiences through the eye of their cameras. Winter session includes dogsledding trips out of Paul Schurke's Wintergreen Lodge in Ely, Minnesota. Participants will drive their own team on the fringes of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Each night is spent in a new location. Professional guides and mushers accompany each respective session.
