Interested In Membership?

Interested in becoming a member of the Desert Camera Club?

The Club is open to anyone interested in both traditional and digital photography, no matter what your level of experience. Our focus is on learning, helping each other improve our skills so that we can create exciting – and even award-winning – images. You may come to the Club as a rank novice or as someone with many years of experience. Our goal is to have fun!

We use competitions at our general monthly meeting as a stimulus to get out and take good photographs, not just snapshots, but images that have lasting value. We run our competitions at two levels: Intermediate and Advanced. We have programs throughout the year of speakers, photographic outings, workshops, informative newsletters. We organize a separate monthly meeting for those most interested in digital photography. But we also value good fellowship, bringing together people from all over the Valley with an interest in photography. Our Annual Dinner showcases the best of members' photographs from the previous year.

Dues are $50 per year. Click here to apply for membership. For more information, email members@cvdcc.org.

Try us out! Still not sure? Why not try us out at one of our monthly meetings? We cordially invite you to participate, and you are under no obligation to join (although we warn you we will be pretty hard to resist!). Our meetings are held the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, except in July and August. The December meetings are usually (but not always) a week early because of the holidays. The main meeting is the fourth Tuesday at 7pm. It is the general Club meeting where we hold our competitions. Click here for meeting location, map, and driving directions. Or call (760) 341-5389. DIPSIG, the Digital Photography Special Interest Group, meets at 6.30pm on the second Tuesday. Click here for meeting location, map, and driving directions. It helps to bring a laptop and power cord, but that is not necessary. You can obtain more information from dipsig@cvdcc.org. And while you are cruising this website, why not take a look at our Gallery of member images that have been successful in our competitions. Click here.
