Spend Some Extra Time...

 

With so many local photographic opportunities, you may want to plan to spend some extra time after your course on the Central Coast of California. If you stay a few days after your course, you'll have an opportunity to photograph in the locations we'll show you and tell you about, and use the new techniques you've learned.

Want to begin or end your visit with an Estuary outing? Check out Orchid-Outriggers and see what a great photographic opportunity it can be!

The Cass house is located north of Los Osos in Cayucos which is approximately a 15 minute drive from the school.

If you are looking for something for an intimate getaway or a private studio to stay check out this local little cottage that is about a 5 minute drive from the school! It is owned and operated by a long time friend of George Lepp.
