This Year, give the gift of passion
Summit has a few stellar gift options
A Summit gift card is redeemable for any Summit learning opportunity. These can be used for 1:1 sessions, online workshops, or in person workshops.
Summit 1:1 Sessions allow students to meet virtually with the instructor of their choosing. Through these 60-90 minute sessions, you can review images, brainstorm project ideas, get professional insight, or just ask any burning questions!
Summit Online is great small-group setting to learn from the top instructors. These live, virtual sessions cover a wide array of topics.
Summit is most known for high caliber in-person workshops. From Conservation and wildlife to sports photography to filmmaking, these workshops help you learn new skills, network, and find community!
