April 1 □ Welcome to Scratch Photography Camp! As the first day of April arrives, so does the first day of SPC! Today is the exposition of our camp, and is also the day to introduce yourself! To get to know all of your fellow campers, start off with an introduction! It can be as short (or as long…) as you’d like! And hey, since this /is/ a photography camp after all, maybe snap a few photos to help people get a feel for your personality!
April 2 □ Good morning-afternoon-evening campers! You’ve survived the first day of SPC! April brings numerous amounts of rain showers–but what comes as a result of those? Bright flowers and rainbows! As your first /official/ challenge, you must take at least 3 photos of things with vibrant colors, and you will get 40 points and 20 for sharing proof! It could be as simple as crayons, or if you’re lucky, a rainbow. Add these photos to your photobook and don’t forget to add these points to your cabin! But I’ll keep it simple. Just remember: BRIGHT. COLORS.
April 3 □ Just a moment…Sorry, sorry, I’m having difficulty seeing what this daily is…My vision is terrible, I know…Let me just zoom in a little and—Ah! There it is! For today’s daily, you’ll need to do exactly what I just did—zoom into your subject! Maybe not so close that we can’t tell what your subject is…but zoom in so your subject looks HUGE even if it isn’t! Like zooming in to a blade of grass to appear like a teeny, tiny ant staring up at a towering plant! This type of photography is called macro photography, its whole gimmick being making small things appear large by zooming in! Play around with this genre of photography and take at least 4 photos utilizing this kind of photography, you’ll gain 50 points and 30 for sharing proof!
April 4 □ Depending on where you are, this might be difficult. Today we are focusing on the great blue! ..No, I’m not talking about the whale. Your challenge is to take photos of the sky. Whether it be night, day, sunset, sunrise, or anything in between, get creative. Just remember–the /main/ focus of the photos has to be the sky. Now April is known for rain, so the photos can be taken indoors, as long as it’s through a window or something. Take at least 2 photos to earn 20 points–plus an extra 20 for sharing proof!
April 5 □ Happy happy Easter everyone!! With April in full swing, Easter has arrived, bringing bright colors, bunny eggs, and a bit of springtime magic. So, in the spirit of easter traditions, we’re sending you on a photo hunt! Whether it’s soft pastel colors, a tucked away egg, springtime blooms, or anything that captures the light, playful theme of the holiday, it all counts. Get creative with how you interpret the theme—there’s more to Easter than just candy and baskets, after all! Take at least 5 pictures inspired by Easter to earn your cabin 60 points, with an extra 30 if you share proof.
April 6 □ Welcome to the first bidaily of Scratch Photography Camp! (Yes, like ever. Feel honored.) Since this is such a historic moment, we’re doubling down on the creativity—which of course means double points as well. ;D Your task for today is to head out into the uncharted wilderness (places like, say, Area 51, the Bermuda Triangle, your backyard…) and take 5 random pictures. They don’t have to match, but they do have to inspire you! Once you have your gallery, channel your inner poet (or a very confused storyteller) and weave those 5 images into a short poem or narrative story. A picture is worth a thousand words, after all.
The goal is to make the pictures tell a tale, no matter how strange or nonsensical it may be! Doing this will get you 100 points—50 from the photos, and 50 from the writing, along with an extra 20 if you share! Happy writing, dear photographers!
April 7 □ Welcome to the second half of our bidaily! Now it’s time to flip the process. Today, you have to find someone else’s poem and bring it to life through 5 photos. Think of each image as a line, a feeling, or a moment from the poem, captured in your own creative way. The photos don’t necessarily have to be literal, but they should reflect the mood, imagery, or story the poem creates, or be related in some way. Once you’ve built your visual interpretation, submit your 5-photo gallery along with the poem you used! Completing this will earn you 50 points, along with an extra 30 if you share.
April 8 □ With each of us taking so many photos, it’s rather unfortunate that many of them remain only for our own eyes (and the eyes of our hosties checking proof…). Alongside that, surely it’s rather sad that we don’t often check out our fellow camper’s photography much…However! That’ll all change in SPC’s brand new activity: The Bundle Exchange! This is the first ever time this activity has been present in SPC, so we’re thrilled to announce it! Take out your cameras everyone, for not only will you be able to show off your sparkly photography skills to other campers, but you’ll be able to have photos gifted TO YOU!! Photos taken, SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU! Think of it as a trade, you take photos for someone, they take photos for you. Sounds fun, doesn’t it? If interested in participating in this activity (and getting points for your team puhuhu…) check out the Bundle Exchange for more information on how to do so here! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1299819361/
April 9 □ Puddles aren't just for splashing in! After those (in)famous April showers, the world becomes a giant mirror. For today’s daily, we’re looking at the world from a different perspective—literally! Your task is to capture 3 photos involving reflections. Whether it’s a clear image in a calm pond, a distorted version of something in a window, or the world turned upside down in a rain puddle on the sidewalk, we want to see how you play with light and surfaces! Reflections can turn a boring street into a work of art or make a single flower look like a whole field. Grab your camera and start hunting for those images! Completing this task will earn you 40 points, plus an extra 20 points for sharing proof!
April 10 □ Music is pretty much the universal language, isn't it? Whether you're locking in on your homework, romanticizing a walk in the park, or just sitting in your room, music plays a massive role in our lives. It sets the mood, tells a story, and—hey, wait a second… are you even listening to music RIGHT NOW? Well, if you are, you’re in luck! And if you aren't, go ahead and hit shuffle on your favorite playlist or pull up that one track that’s been stuck in your head all morning. For today’s daily, we want you to take the song you last listened to (or one playing right this second!) and turn it into a visual masterpiece! Your mission is to take 3 photos that represent that specific song in some way. Is the beat heavy and dark? Is it a bubbly pop anthem? Does it make you feel like you're floating in space? Capture those feelings through 3 pictures for 30 points, with a bonus 10 if you share <33
April 11 □ Today, we’re narrowing our vision! Have you ever noticed how much detail you miss when there are too many colors distracting you? (No, obviously, since you missed it. /silly /j) When everything is the same hue, you start to notice the tiny scratches on a surface, the way shadows curve, and the actual shape of your subject. Welcome to Monochrome Madness. Today, you have to pick ONE color, and STICK TO IT. Whether you choose the calming blues of denim jeans and the sky, the aggressive reds of stop signs and strawberries, or the forest greens in your backyard, every photo in your set must feature that color as the main event. Keep in mind, you /are/ allowed to have different shades, just not different colors. (ex. You can take a picture of the light blue sky and a dark blue blueberry, but not a picture of a white cloud and the yellow sun.) Take at least 4 photos where your chosen color is the absolute star of the show!
Completing this monochromatic masterpiece will earn your cabin 40 points, plus an extra 20 points for sharing proof. Will you go for a gothic “all-black” aesthetic or a bright “all-yellow” sunshine vibe? We can’t wait to see which color you choose!
April 12 □ Ahh, just look: the sun is starting to dip, and the world is turning into a literal masterpiece! But…wait! Don't put your camera away just yet—You know that magical time of day right before sunset when everything looks like it’s been dipped in honey? That’s the “Golden Hour,” and it is a photographer's absolute best friend! For today’s daily, we’re chasing the light. Your mission is to capture the warmth! Head outside (or find a very sunny window) during the hour before sunset or the hour after sunrise and take 3 photos that highlight those long shadows and that warm, golden glow. Whether it’s the sun hitting the side of a building, sparkling through some leaves, or a “golden” portrait of a friend, we want to see that radiance! Capturing the light will earn you 30 points, plus an extra 20 points for sharing proof! Stay gold, campers, stay gold <33
April 13 □ With our session occurring in the month of April, it brings up the old saying…”April showers bring May flowers”…Well, our session theme just so happens to be flowers! So, even if May’s flowers haven’t quite arrived in full bloom, to pay homage to that classic saying and our session’s theme, your task today is to take at least 5 pictures featuring a collection of plants! Whether they be the roses of love or the lilies of mourning, any plant is welcome here! This daily will be worth 50 points, with 30 more for sharing!
April 14 □ What do you see when you stand in the sun and look behind yourself? A shadow, of course! For today’s daily challenge, your job is to take 2-3 photos of shadows. Doesn’t matter what the shadow is, it could be as large as an elephant (though I would be surprised if you see one) or a flower. You can earn up to 50 points (30 for the daily and 20 more for sharing).
April 15 □ The world is a constantly changing place, and as I’m sure you can imagine, people and things move all the time. Whether it be a squirrel sprinting from the light of day, or a crowded city street of pedestrians and businessmen moving out and about, movement is a constant on this planet we call home. With that being said, your task today is to capture that constant of the world! For 50 points and 20 more for sharing proof, take 4 photos in which your subject is in motion.
April 16 □ Where do you store pictures? In a picture frame of course! But did you know, there’s a compositional technique in photography called a frame within a frame? In a photo using this technique, the subject will be within a secondary border—such as a window or door, but the sky’s the limit for whatever your frame may be! As long as it surrounds your subject within your picture, that’s certainly a frame! With that being said, your job is to take 3 pictures of a frame within a frame. You’ll earn 40 points for sharing and gain 20 more for sharing proof!
April 17 □ Forgotten day
April 18 □ Ready to bend reality? Forced perspective is a photography trick that uses optical illusions to make objects appear larger, smaller, closer, or farther away than they actually are. Think of the classic “holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa” photo, or making it look like you’re about to step on a giant-sized soda can! Get silly with it and use your surroundings to create an illusion. Take at least 2 photos utilizing forced perspective to earn your cabin 30 points!
April 19 □ Complimentary angles add up to 90o, and supplementary angles are 180o. However, for today’s daily, we don’t have to do math. We’ve all seen a movie where the camera pans up to a villain or character, making them seem intimidating or scary. Well, that’s exactly what we’re doing! For this daily, take 2-4 pictures from a low angle–completing this will earn you 40 points!
April 20 □ We all have favorite characters. TV shows, movies, books, whatever. Today’s task is to take photos that relate to that character. For example, A sunset, Gone With the Wind, and long dark hair for Ponyboy Curtis. It doesn’t matter what character you pick. Take at least 3 photos to earn yourself (and your cabin) 50 points, with an extra 10 for sharing proof! It could be as popular as Harry Potter or as niche as Handa Seishuu (search him up). And, for an optional fun twist, have your fellow campers try to guess the characters in the comments!
April 21 □ SPC stands for Smelly Pony Council, does it not? ;D For today’s daily, try to come up with at least 3 different versions of SPC (Spicy Pickle Celebration), and post your creations in the comments. Once you’ve unleashed your three masterpieces about our beloved Secret Pigeon Choir, go ahead and claim a prompt from a fellow camper and take 5 pictures inspired by their theme! Doing so will earn you 50 points, with a bonus 30 for sharing proof!…And…hey, I think I see a photography competition…somewhere over there… https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1309569609/
April 22 □ We all know what symbolism is—do we not? If you don’t, symbolism is a technique to convey an abstract idea to the viewer with something tangible, like objects or colors—rather than words. For example, crows symbolize death, doves for peace, roses for love, or anchors for stability and strength. The possibilities are endless—and more objects than you may think have a hidden meaning! While symbolism is primarily used in writing, it’s also extremely common in photography, and is used to invoke an emotion within the viewer. Learn more about what objects symbolize—and from there take 3 photos utilizing symbolism for 40 points, 30 more for proof!
April 23 □ Circles, squares, triangles. No, this is not the Squid Games. For this daily, take at leat one picture of each of these shapes. It could be a clock for a circle or a dinner plate. Anything you would like–as long as it’s in these shapes. You can take photos of other shapes, just these three minimums. Doing this will allow 40 points to be bestowed upon you and your cabin–plus 20 for sharing.
April 24 □ Light. Without it, the world would be a dark, boring place. Whether it be from the sun, a light bulb, or even a desk lamp, light comes from so many places. It can reflect, refract, transmit, absorb, blah blah blah. This is a photography camp, not science class. Anyways, for today’s daily, just take 3 pictures of a light source! The only catch–they all have to be a different source. You can’t just take 3 pictures of the same lightbulb and be done with it. Completing this will earn you 30 points, plus 10 for sharing proof!
April 25 □ Do you remember being a kid, doing fun arts and crafts, and learning about colors at school? Well today may bring you nostalgia, since for this daily we take photos of contrasting colors! Green and red, yellow and purple, blue and orange–as long as the colors are opposites on the color wheel, it’s fair game. Complete the task of 4 photos (two pairs of contrasting colors) and you win–er, 30 points that is. Plus another 20 for sharing!
April 26 □ It’s photography dare day! The host team has gone on strike (or rather, has no further ideas for daily activities…), so it’s up to your fellow campers to decide what your task is for today! Post a photography prompt or two in the main cabin, and claim someone else’s! You’ll need to take 4 photos for the dare, so make sure your dare can reasonably have 4 different photos taken related to it! This daily is worth 50 points, with 30 more for sharing.
April 27 □ Most people are aware of the five senses, right?. Sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Well today we will be focusing on just one: touch. (but you’ve been so out of touch touch touch touch touch!) Sadly, not the KATSEYE song that was just mentioned. Daily #27 will be focusing on textures. It could be a fuzzy sweater, a coarse rock, or a smooth paper. Whatever it may be, today you should take at least 3 photos of something with texture. Worth 40 points, plus 20 for sharing.
April 28 □ We all have that one book we all desperately hope for a movie adaption (or had one that cut out your favorite scene…). Seeing your beloved book scenes happen for real, instead of just seeing it in words, is what makes movie adaptations (sometimes) appeal to viewers! Today, we’ll (partially) turn that dream into a reality! Today, take 4 pictures based on a scene from a book of your choice—for example, we all know in the classic Harry Potter series he receives a letter through the mailbox inviting him to Hogwarts, so for that, you could take a picture of a letter in a mailbox! Of course, choose a scene that’s possible enough to show in a photo…And no characters have to be shown but rather, an important item occurring in said book. With that being said, this daily is 60 points with 30 more for sharing!
April 29 □ Welcome to the screen daily! Yes, this is exactly what it sounds like: your task is to take a photo of a screen—but not just any boring, normal screen. We want you to embrace the chaos. Pull up an image, display it on a screen, and then, photograph it! Play around with the angles, brightness, reflections, or that weird glitchy pattern screens sometimes create when captured on camera. You know what we're talking about, it's those annoying lines that show up. The goal here is to lean into the slightly uncanny, distorted effect that happens when digital meets digital again… Make it artsy, make it strange, make it creative. Whether your subject is obvious or completely abstract, we want to see creativity in how you capture it! Completing this daily will earn you 50 points, plus an extra 10 if you share. Now go forth and take at least 4 pictures of screens! AND a very very very happy birthday to one of our secret hosts!! ..Speaking of which, go check out the host reveal project here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1312692716/
April 30 □ As the rainy days subside, and the flowers begin to bloom, that’s a sure sign that May has arrived, leaving April behind in its wake. As we reflect on this session after April’s end, we can think…Who made this session memorable? What happy memories have I made this session? Who contributed to those memories? When you find an answer, or maybe many, be sure to thank those who made this session memorable to you! Leave them a note, and…maybe a few pictures as a gift!

Don't put your camera away just yet—You know that magical time of day right before sunset when everything looks like it’s been dipped in honey? That’s the “Golden Hour,” and it is a photographer's absolute best friend! For today’s daily, we’re chasing the light. Your mission is to capture the warmth! Head outside (or find a very sunny window) during the hour before sunset or the hour after sunrise and take 3 photos that highlight those long shadows and that warm, golden glow. Whether it’s the sun hitting the side of a building, sparkling through some leaves, or a “golden” portrait of a friend, we want to see that radiance! Capturing the light will earn you 30 points, plus an extra 20 points for sharing proof! Stay gold, campers, stay gold <33
April 13 □ With our session occurring in the month of April, it brings up the old saying…”April showers bring May flowers”…Well, our session theme just so happens to be flowers! So, even if May’s flowers haven’t quite arrived in full bloom, to pay homage to that classic saying and our session’s theme, your task today is to take at least 5 pictures featuring a collection of plants! Whether they be the roses of love or the lilies of mourning, any plant is welcome here! This daily will be worth 50 points, with 30 more for sharing!
April 14 □ What do you see when you stand in the sun and look behind yourself? A shadow, of course! For today’s daily challenge, your job is to take 2-3 photos of shadows. Doesn’t matter what the shadow is, it could be as large as an elephant (though I would be surprised if you see one) or a flower. You can earn up to 50 points (30 for the daily and 20 more for sharing).
April 15 □ The world is a constantly changing place, and as I’m sure you can imagine, people and things move all the time. Whether it be a squirrel sprinting from the light of day, or a crowded city street of pedestrians and businessmen moving out and about, movement is a constant on this planet we call home. With that being said, your task today is to capture that constant of the world! For 50 points and 20 more for sharing proof, take 4 photos in which your subject is in motion.
April 16 □ Where do you store pictures? In a picture frame of course! But did you know, there’s a compositional technique in photography called a frame within a frame? In a photo using this technique, the subject will be within a secondary border—such as a window or door, but the sky’s the limit for whatever your frame may be! As long as it surrounds your subject within your picture, that’s certainly a frame! With that being said, your job is to take 3 pictures of a frame within a frame. You’ll earn 40 points for sharing and gain 20 more for sharing proof!
April 17 □ Forgotten day
April 18 □ Ready to bend reality? Forced perspective is a photography trick that uses optical illusions to make objects appear larger, smaller, closer, or farther away than they actually are. Think of the classic “holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa” photo, or making it look like you’re about to step on a giant-sized soda can! Get silly with it and use your surroundings to create an illusion. Take at least 2 photos utilizing forced perspective to earn your cabin 30 points!
April 19 □ Complimentary angles add up to 90o, and supplementary angles are 180o. However, for today’s daily, we don’t have to do math. We’ve all seen a movie where the camera pans up to a villain or character, making them seem intimidating or scary. Well, that’s exactly what we’re doing! For this daily, take 2-4 pictures from a low angle–completing this will earn you 40 points!
April 20 □ We all have favorite characters. TV shows, movies, books, whatever. Today’s task is to take photos that relate to that character. For example, A sunset, Gone With the Wind, and long dark hair for Ponyboy Curtis. It doesn’t matter what character you pick. Take at least 3 photos to earn yourself (and your cabin) 50 points, with an extra 10 for sharing proof! It could be as popular as Harry Potter or as niche as Handa Seishuu (search him up). And, for an optional fun twist, have your fellow campers try to guess the characters in the comments!
April 21 □ SPC stands for Smelly Pony Council, does it not? ;D For today’s daily, try to come up with at least 3 different versions of SPC (Spicy Pickle Celebration), and post your creations in the comments. Once you’ve unleashed your three masterpieces about our beloved Secret Pigeon Choir, go ahead and claim a prompt from a fellow camper and take 5 pictures inspired by their theme! Doing so will earn you 50 points, with a bonus 30 for sharing proof!…And…hey, I think I see a photography competition…somewhere over there… https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1309569609/
April 22 □ We all know what symbolism is—do we not? If you don’t, symbolism is a technique to convey an abstract idea to the viewer with something tangible, like objects or colors—rather than words. For example, crows symbolize death, doves for peace, roses for love, or anchors for stability and strength. The possibilities are endless—and more objects than you may think have a hidden meaning! While symbolism is primarily used in writing, it’s also extremely common in photography, and is used to invoke an emotion within the viewer. Learn more about what objects symbolize—and from there take 3 photos utilizing symbolism for 40 points, 30 more for proof!
April 23 □ Circles, squares, triangles. No, this is not the Squid Games. For this daily, take at leat one picture of each of these shapes. It could be a clock for a circle or a dinner plate. Anything you would like–as long as it’s in these shapes. You can take photos of other shapes, just these three minimums. Doing this will allow 40 points to be bestowed upon you and your cabin–plus 20 for sharing.
April 24 □ Light. Without it, the world would be a dark, boring place. Whether it be from the sun, a light bulb, or even a desk lamp, light comes from so many places. It can reflect, refract, transmit, absorb, blah blah blah. This is a photography camp, not science class. Anyways, for today’s daily, just take 3 pictures of a light source! The only catch–they all have to be a different source. You can’t just take 3 pictures of the same lightbulb and be done with it. Completing this will earn you 30 points, plus 10 for sharing proof!
April 25 □ Do you remember being a kid, doing fun arts and crafts, and learning about colors at school? Well today may bring you nostalgia, since for this daily we take photos of contrasting colors! Green and red, yellow and purple, blue and orange–as long as the colors are opposites on the color wheel, it’s fair game. Complete the task of 4 photos (two pairs of contrasting colors) and you win–er, 30 points that is. Plus another 20 for sharing!
April 26 □ It’s photography dare day! The host team has gone on strike (or rather, has no further ideas for daily activities…), so it’s up to your fellow campers to decide what your task is for today! Post a photography prompt or two in the main cabin, and claim someone else’s! You’ll need to take 4 photos for the dare, so make sure your dare can reasonably have 4 different photos taken related to it! This daily is worth 50 points, with 30 more for sharing.
April 27 □ Most people are aware of the five senses, right?. Sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Well today we will be focusing on just one: touch. (but you’ve been so out of touch touch touch touch touch!) Sadly, not the KATSEYE song that was just mentioned. Daily #27 will be focusing on textures. It could be a fuzzy sweater, a coarse rock, or a smooth paper. Whatever it may be, today you should take at least 3 photos of something with texture. Worth 40 points, plus 20 for sharing.
April 28 □ We all have that one book we all desperately hope for a movie adaption (or had one that cut out your favorite scene…). Seeing your beloved book scenes happen for real, instead of just seeing it in words, is what makes movie adaptations (sometimes) appeal to viewers! Today, we’ll (partially) turn that dream into a reality! Today, take 4 pictures based on a scene from a book of your choice—for example, we all know in the classic Harry Potter series he receives a letter through the mailbox inviting him to Hogwarts, so for that, you could take a picture of a letter in a mailbox! Of course, choose a scene that’s possible enough to show in a photo…And no characters have to be shown but rather, an important item occurring in said book. With that being said, this daily is 60 points with 30 more for sharing!
April 29 □ Welcome to the screen daily! Yes, this is exactly what it sounds like: your task is to take a photo of a screen—but not just any boring, normal screen. We want you to embrace the chaos. Pull up an image, display it on a screen, and then, photograph it! Play around with the angles, brightness, reflections, or that weird glitchy pattern screens sometimes create when captured on camera. You know what we're talking about, it's those annoying lines that show up. The goal here is to lean into the slightly uncanny, distorted effect that happens when digital meets digital again… Make it artsy, make it strange, make it creative. Whether your subject is obvious or completely abstract, we want to see creativity in how you capture it! Completing this daily will earn you 50 points, plus an extra 10 if you share. Now go forth and take at least 4 pictures of screens! AND a very very very happy birthday to one of our secret hosts!! ..Speaking of which, go check out the host reveal project here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1312692716/
April 30 □ As the rainy days subside, and the flowers begin to bloom, that’s a sure sign that May has arrived, leaving April behind in its wake. As we reflect on this session after April’s end, we can think…Who made this session memorable? What happy memories have I made this session? Who contributed to those memories? When you find an answer, or maybe many, be sure to thank those who made this session memorable to you! Leave them a note, and…maybe a few pictures as a gift!

Weekly 1: Elements
Intro
/Water. Earth. Fire. Air/ The four elements. For your first weekly, you will be tasked to take photos of each element. No, I am not telling you to get up close and personal with a flame. And yes, I know wind is invisible. But try to take photos that at least have some connection to these four elements. For example, a nice garden or some rocks for Earth. Let’s begin!
This weekly begins on April 2 at 00:00 UTC
Part One: Water
/♬ Under the sea, under the sea ♬/ I hope you’re excited for your first weekly of the April 2026 session of SPC! For part one of this, you have to take watery photos. Water can range from the deep blue sea to a glass that is half full (or half empty for you pessimists out there). It’s made of two hydrogens and one oxygen atom, aka H2O. For this part of the weekly, take at least 4 photos of…well, water!
Part Two: Earth
Everyone’s favorite planet is up next: Earth! Except…maybe not the planet, since this is the /elements/ weekly. For part two, take at least 3 pictures of something Earth-related. This can be anything, from crystals to your everyday pebble. At least ONE of these has to be a plant of some kind, but the other two are up to you!
Part Three: Fire
Let’s heat things up for part three! We’ve all seen a fire, right? Fire is a very diverse topic! From stoves to straight bonfires, it can be used for a lot. For the third part of this weekly challenge, take at least 2 pictures of something fire related. It doesn’t have to be a flame, however. It could be a picture of your favorite spicy snack/food!
Part Four: Air
*woosh woosh* Woah! It’s getting pretty windy. The end of this weekly is in sight! For the fourth and final part of your weekly, you must take a picture of…air? It seems like an odd request, but it really isn’t. Fans, wind, leafblowers, they all blow air. Air can be a force. So for this challenge, take at least 3 pictures of this mysterious force acting on something!
Conclusion
Woah! You made it to the end of the weekly! Congrats on finishing your first one! (Yes, there are still three more but you finished one of them at least!). Before this can be submitted, make sure you have:
- at least 4 watery pictures
- at least 3 Earthy pictures
- at least 2 fiery pictures
- at least 3 airy pictures
Once these are all done, feel free to submit this to collect 550 points! You should have at least 12 pictures for this weekly. Submit it by April 8, 2026 at 23:59 pm UTC for it to count! Proof is required for all weeklies, so just upload these images to a project and be sure to share the link in the main cabin so we can add the points to your cabin total! Good luck!
Any questions can be directed to the host’s profile, @moosywoosy.

Weekly 2: Day in the Life
Intro
There's 365 days in a year (well, 366 in a leap year). Multiply that by the average lifespan of 72 years, that gives you about 26280 days to live. For the next 7 days out of those 26280, it’s up to you to record just a few simple days in your life, finding the beauty in the little moments of the day. This week, you’ll be taking pictures following the simple flow of your existence, a reminder that there’s beauty in every day.
This weekly begins on April 9 at 00:00 UTC
Part One: Timelapse
We all know how the day and night cycle goes. The earth spins, it’s daytime for the side facing the sun, and nighttime for the side that isn’t. The Earth spins and then daylight melts into darkness…you get the idea. But even as the sky turns dark, the objects beneath the sky remain the same. For the first part of this weekly, pick a spot, preferably outside, and take 3 pictures of that place. One in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. How much does this place change, yet remain the same, in each picture?
Part Two: Mundane Activities
Everyone has a daily routine, do they not? Personally, mine is to wake up, brush my teeth, eat breakfast, discover the secrets of the universe—…Everyday stuff! Surely you have such a routine as well! For this part of the weekly, you’ll be taking 3 pictures of mundane activities you do every day you never pay much mind to! Whether it be riding the bus or drawing, anything goes as long as you do it (mostly) every day!
Part Three: Everyday Objects
What’s something you walk past everyday? Perhaps it’s a figurine on your desk collecting dust, or an old plushy that’s only a few inches away from being taken by the monsters beneath your bed…I’m sure there’s a lot of those, and certainly more than 5, right? With that being said, take 5 pictures of different objects from your day-to-day life you often overlook!
Part Four: In-between Shots
When we’re moving in life, it always seems to be from one point to another—no? From your bed to the kitchen, from the car to school, from putting your chicken nuggets in the microwave to eating them…we always focus on getting from point 1 to point 2. But what about between said shots? Point 1.5? For the final part, you’ll be focusing on the shots between point A and B. Perhaps it’s crossing over the threshold of a door, or riding a bus to school—take 4 pictures focusing on the in-between points of life!
Conclusion
While this day is only one of many, it must be duly noted that it will never be this exact year, month, day, and second ever again. With that being said, photos serve as a way to capture memories stuck in time. Whether they be a sunset from one particular day, that photo is one of a kind. That exact second will never arrive ever again. That’s why, no matter how mundane life seems, every second should be savored. A day in the life of you, and the world, has been captured in this weekly. Before submission, make sure you have the following:
3 photos of a spot outside from morning, afternoon and evening
4 photos of a mundane activity you do every day
5 photos of everyday objects
4 photos of in-between shots
You should have at least 16 photos this weekly, and it is due April 15 at 23:59 UTC. Proof is required for weeklies, simply put your photos in a project/forum post for proof and share the link to the main cabin in order to claim 600 points!

Weekly 4: Alphabet
Intro
Already the final weekly? Beautiful job, campers! Don’t get extremely cocky, however, for there is still a grand weekly ahead! How about I take you on a journey to the start: kindergarten. Legend has it that’s where most people learned this new thing (only it’s been around a while), their phonics! Quickly! List them off right now. Go on, start!
Truthfully, you didn’t need to. I was just making sure you understand this week’s challenge. Very funny, I know. The weekly, x-tremely surprisingly, is for you to take photos of every letter of the alphabet, a-z. Uhhh…zebra?
This weekly begins on April 23 at 00:00 UTC
Alrighty then! All of you campers can get started. ‘A’ is up at the start, so anything, from apples, to animals to athletes is acceptable. Take one photo of absolutely anything for this amazing alphabet member!
Bad news, campers. Believe it or not, there is still an entire alphabet ahead of us! But fear not, only one photo minimum is required for this letter (because there’s 26 letters), only it must start with ‘B’!
Crazy that this can (and will) be the concluding weekly challenge for this session of Scratch Photography Camp! Could you capture at least one photo with your camera starting with ‘C’ to commemorate this moment?
Don’t stop now, you’ve almost done it! Do some more photography–and make it start with ‘D’!
Easy there! Extraordinary work so far. Extending your time for the use of excessive photography is no easy task. Even so, take photos that start with ‘E’!
Finally! You’re almost done–with the first 8 letters, that is. Forgot to mention that all three hosts had worked on this weekly! Fun right? Anyways, forgive me for going off on a tangent. Snap a quick picture and don’t forget that it should begin with‘F’!
Great going, don’t stop now. Go on, keep taking photos! And hey, maybe these gorgeous captures can begin with ‘G’?
Hello! How are you doing? Okay, I know you won’t actually be talking to me. But hey, now that I have your attention, take a photo and have it start with ‘H’!
Incredible so far! For the ninth letter, find something that starts with I. Whether it's an instrument, some ice, or even an ivy plant, make sure it’s an image that inspires!
Just when you thought it couldn't get better, here comes J. Snap a photo of a jacket, a jar, or maybe some jewelry. Just make sure it’s a jolly good shot!
Kudos to you for getting this far! For this letter, look for something starting with K. A key, a kite in the sky, or even a keyboard—capture the kernel of a great idea!
Lovely work! For the letter L, focus your lens on a leaf, a lamp, a ladder, or something starting with L. Let your creativity lead the way!
Magnificent! Make some magic with the letter M. You could photograph a mirror, a mug, or a mountain. There are a multitude of possibilities!
Now we’ve reached N. Find something neat to capture…perhaps a notebook, a necklace, or a newspaper? You’re nearly there!
Oh wow, look at you go! For O, try to find an ornament, an orange, or something outside. Open your eyes to the options around you!
Pick up your camera for the letter P! Whether it’s a plant, a pencil, or a picture within a picture, make it a powerful piece of your collection.
Quick, don’t quit at Q! Quite a challenge, isn't it? For this quaint letter, seek out a quilt, a quarter, or even a question you find in the world. You’re moving at a quick pace now!
Remember! Just a few more roadblocks until your roster of photos for this week will really be complete! Just a reminder, this part will require one photo starting with ‘R’ to be taken! Really ready yourself for this!
Stupendous! You’re making serious strides in your superb photo-taking! I’m sure your shutter is tired by now, is it not? So sorry, but there’s still more to go, but slow and steady wins the race! Take a picture with the subject starting with ‘S’!
Tedious tasks await you, but simply take your time and you’ll make it to the very end! Till you take a picture starting with the letter T, I’m afraid you can’t traverse your way to the next part!
Unbelievable! U have made it here! Until you take a picture starting with U, you’re unable to move on to the next letter!
Voila! You’ve been doing very well so far! But the challenge is yet to end. After all, a veil of mystery is blocking the way…Just take a photo starting with ‘V’! And of course, after you stand victorious you can go on vacation!
Woah! Watch out! We’re getting closer to the end—why don’t you take a picture where the main subject begins with ‘W’? We’ll be waiting!
X-traordinary job! It’s x-tremely impressive you’ve made it this far! They say that X marks the spot, so best you take a picture starting with the letter x!
You might yearn for the end in order to get points, but the end is not yonder! Perhaps go out to your yard for a subject starting with y! This’ll be a grand time of the year, so don’t yawn on this weekly!
Z-Zebra? Writing this won’t be e-z, and neither will this part…zigzag your way to something that starts with z. Zeriously ridiculous, I know, I mean…what even starts with z? But just be zen, and you'll figure it out, we’re at the end!
Conclusion
All of us hosts are absolutely blown away by your dedication! By completing this challenge, you’ve proven that your creativity has no limits. Doing 26 photos is a huge feat, but you handled it with ease. From the first shot to the last, you've shown that the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog… and right into a fantastic portfolio of work! Great memories were made this session, and honestly, we couldn't be prouder. It's time to submit your final masterpieces. Just remember: this weekly is due April 30 at 23:59 UTC. Keep clicking, love your craft, and make sure to note your final points of 700! Obviously, we’re all very proud of your quality work. Really, you've shined! Thank you for an unforgettable session. Very soon, we'll be wrapping up, but x-pect more fun in the future! You are all so z… uhh… a-may-zing
Intro
Already the final weekly? Beautiful job, campers! Don’t get extremely cocky, however, for there is still a grand weekly ahead! How about I take you on a journey to the start: kindergarten. Legend has it that’s where most people learned this new thing (only it’s been around a while), their phonics! Quickly! List them off right now. Go on, start!
Truthfully, you didn’t need to. I was just making sure you understand this week’s challenge. Very funny, I know. The weekly, x-tremely surprisingly, is for you to take photos of every letter of the alphabet, a-z. Uhhh…zebra?
This weekly begins on April 23 at 00:00 UTC
Alrighty then! All of you campers can get started. ‘A’ is up at the start, so anything, from apples, to animals to athletes is acceptable. Take one photo of absolutely anything for this amazing alphabet member!
Bad news, campers. Believe it or not, there is still an entire alphabet ahead of us! But fear not, only one photo minimum is required for this letter (because there’s 26 letters), only it must start with ‘B’!
Crazy that this can (and will) be the concluding weekly challenge for this session of Scratch Photography Camp! Could you capture at least one photo with your camera starting with ‘C’ to commemorate this moment?
Don’t stop now, you’ve almost done it! Do some more photography–and make it start with ‘D’!
Easy there! Extraordinary work so far. Extending your time for the use of excessive photography is no easy task. Even so, take photos that start with ‘E’!
Finally! You’re almost done–with the first 8 letters, that is. Forgot to mention that all three hosts had worked on this weekly! Fun right? Anyways, forgive me for going off on a tangent. Snap a quick picture and don’t forget that it should begin with‘F’!
Great going, don’t stop now. Go on, keep taking photos! And hey, maybe these gorgeous captures can begin with ‘G’?
Hello! How are you doing? Okay, I know you won’t actually be talking to me. But hey, now that I have your attention, take a photo and have it start with ‘H’!
Incredible so far! For the ninth letter, find something that starts with I. Whether it's an instrument, some ice, or even an ivy plant, make sure it’s an image that inspires!
Just when you thought it couldn't get better, here comes J. Snap a photo of a jacket, a jar, or maybe some jewelry. Just make sure it’s a jolly good shot!
