Activities

Activities are planned throughout the year and added to our posted schedules in this website and on the ACC Yahoo Group site.  Members are also notified of upcoming activities via e-mail.  Activities include Wednesday night meetings, weekend field trips to shoot at a variety of locations, photo displays at area libraries and nature centers, and social gatherings.  

Meetings are held for competitions, educational presentations and workshops on photography, and to announce events and competition awards.

Travels & Events include opportunities for members to learn in the field from leading photographers, and to practice shooting techniques.  Trips are usually within the Northern Illinois area.  Long weekend trips are also planned for out-of-state locations.  "Events" also include community happenings, and visits to other camera clubs, CACCA meetings, and PSA functions.

Social gatherings of members and family provide lots of fun and time to share information on photography.
