Course Description/Itinerary:
- Monday - Friday, 8:30am - 3:00pm.
- Students will either spend the mornings or the afternoons exploring Seoul, capturing memories on camera. This will be a time to discover new off-the-beaten-path places or revisit favorites. Students can take on daily “photo-challenges” if they want a fresh look at the world around them. Locations TBD.
- The other half of the day will be spent on campus either working with counselors on college-prep or working on editing their photos and producing their memory keepsakes.
- After students have finished all the things they need to do with the counselors (for example if only 2 days were needed to finish up some applications) then the remainder of the time can be spent on the food & photography excursions, photo editing, and memory album creating/publishing.
Requirements/Considerations:
- You must be a senior to sign up for this course.
- This is the only course that can be designated as a "first choice" - seniors who select this course will be placed in it, unless the course exceeds the maximum, in which case we'll have a lottery of some type, and those who don't get chosen will be placed in one of your other three choices.
- Includes awesome meals, snacks & printed memory albums.
