The Olympia Camera Club is for anyone who loves photography.  It is our goal to help others to be better photographers through sharing, teaching, guest speakers, and field trips.

Our club includes photographers of different skill levels and with varied interests.  You will enjoy the camaraderie of interacting with those at your own skill level, but you’ll also have opportunities to grow and learn from club members who have more advanced skills. We serve Thurston County, Washington and the surrounding areas.

Announcements

New Members – We have been holding joint Zoom meetings for the past couple years with the Olympic Peaks Camera Club based in Sequim, WA. Their small club has decided to disband and gift their current members with 2025 memberships in the Olympia Camera Club. As a result we now have 21 new members joining OCC. Although they may not make it to our live meetings on a regular basis, we hope to see them often on Zoom and possibly on some of our field trips as well. Please welcome them if you get the chance.

Membership Dues – It’s that time of the year again. Members wishing to remain in our club need to renew by January 31, 2025. Please visit the Membership page to get paid up for the coming year. New members can join now and enjoy member benefits through December of 2025.
