Outdoor Photography Series
This 7-part series is all about learning to capture the beauty of our landscape with a camera. Each week builds on the previous as we learn new aspects of outdoor photography, in and around Watauga County. Often we are accompanied by a knowledgeable photographer from the community providing expert advice and teaching. At the end of the series each photographer picks their best shots for display during the Down Town Boone Art Crawl at Reid’s Café.

Philosophy
Mountain Alliance provides students with a safe and supportive environment in which they can develop an increased sense of self and their place in the community, a passion for lifelong learning, and a commitment to environmental stewardship. We recognize these attributes as essential qualities of active and engaged citizens.
Mountain Alliance’s activities center around adventure and service outings providing students the opportunity to participate in teams to accomplish their goals so they quickly come to understand the advantage of working together. They see the impact their actions and decisions have upon themselves and others.
We are a community of high school students, teachers, professionals, outdoor and adventure-based educators, and supportive local leaders and citizens.
