Welcome to the Silver Spring Camera Club. Visitors and new members are invited to our public meetings, which take place the first three Thursdays of every month, September through May. We also welcome you to our field trips. Signups are through Meetup.
Meetings are either in-person, or virtual on Zoom.
The first meeting of the month is our speaker night, held virtually.
In person meetings will take place on the second Thursday of each month, and will generally be our competition. In person meetings are held at Christ the King Presbyterian Church (formerly called Northwood Presbyterian Church), 1200 University Boulevard West, Silver Spring, MD.
On the third Thursday of each month we hold a virtual meeting. This will generally be our Photo Forum which includes discussion, member presentations, and photo sharing.
