ABOUT

First prerequisite: you must love dogs. No dog hair on your shirt at registration? No entry. (Just kidding. Kind of.)

Camp Dog Breath is a specialty summer camp for dog photographers, created by dog photographers. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned pro looking for inspiration, community, business advice, and fresh techniques, there’s something here for every skill level.

Camp Dog Breath takes place August 16–20, 2027, at Camp Robindel in Moultonborough, New Hampshire.

Your experience includes four nights at camp, all meals and snacks, and three full days of classes, shoots, creativity, community, and classic summer-camp magic.

Your Camp Dog Breath ticket includes four nights of camp lodging, all scheduled meals, access to all classroom presentations, a guaranteed spot in two small-group counselor-led photo shoots, and a guaranteed spot in three large-group counselor-led demos.

It also includes the activities, and experiences that make Camp Dog Breath stand apart from a traditional photography conference.

Travel to and from camp, personal purchases, and any separately announced optional upgrades or add-on experiences are not included.

Absolutely. Camp Dog Breath includes hands-on photography experiences with live dog models.

Bring your camera, your preferred lenses, memory cards, batteries, chargers, and any other gear you need to shoot comfortably.

We’ll share more detailed gear recommendations well ahead of camp so you have plenty of time to prepare.

No. Because of the group workshop environment, we won’t be able to accommodate individual lighting setups.

We’ll provide the lighting for any shoots that require it. You’re welcome to bring a basic flash or constant light, but don’t be surprised if there isn’t an opportunity to use it. We’ll share more detailed gear recommendations well ahead of camp.

Yes. Hands-on photography is a big part of the Camp Dog Breath experience.

Each camper is guaranteed a spot in two small-group, instructor-led, hands-on photo shoots and three large-group, instructor-led demonstration shoots. To protect the well-being of every dog, shoot sizes, rotations, and timing will be carefully structured so the experience stays safe and comfortable while still giving campers ample time to shoot.

Every camper will get access to two small-group shoots and three large-group instructor-led demos.

In order to create the best experience customized to your preferences, you’ll have the opportunity to build your own personalized Camp Dog Breath schedule.

Small-group Photo Shoot and Large Group Demo enrollment will open closer to camp. VIP ticket holders will receive the first opportunity to make their selections. After the VIP enrollment window, campers will be invited to select from the remaining availability in the order their tickets were purchased.

We’ll provide complete shoot and demo descriptions, schedules, and enrollment instructions well in advance so you’ll have time to plan your ideal camp experience.

At times, yes. Our schedule may include simultaneous shoots and activities to create a fun, choose-your-own-adventure camp experience.

Main classroom presentations are being scheduled unopposed, so you’ll have full access to ten 90-minute classes from some of the best in the biz. A complete schedule, plus instructions for choosing or receiving shoot assignments, will be released before camp.

Yes! Four nights of lodging at Camp Dog Breath are included with your Camp Pass.

This is a true summer-camp setting, so accommodations are more rustic and communal than a traditional hotel. Detailed housing information, including cabin photos, what is provided, what to bring, and how housing assignments will work, will be shared before booking.

Prior to the start of camp, we will send out a detailed questionnaire to assess campers' preferred sleep schedules and habits, and carefully assign lodging with the best possible experience in mind. 

When filling out your questionnaire, you will also be able to request specific bunk-mates. We will do our absolute best to accommodate all requests. 

Yes. All scheduled meals during Camp Dog Breath are included.

That means dinner on check-in night, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks during the main three-day event, plus a farewell breakfast on checkout morning.

We will collect dietary restriction and food-allergy information from registered campers in advance. Although we will work closely with the venue to accommodate common dietary needs, anyone with a severe or highly specific allergy should contact us before purchasing so we can discuss what can safely be accommodated.

Camp Dog Breath is designed as a fully immersive, residential camp experience, and on-site lodging is already included in your pass.

Staying at Camp Dog Breath puts you right in the middle of the action, the community, and all the late-night summer-camp magic that makes this experience truly special.

If you choose to arrange accommodations elsewhere, your Camp Dog Breath ticket price will remain the same and you will be responsible for your own transportation to and from the venue each day.

Because of lodging rules, shared spaces, scheduled dog models, working service dogs, and the overall safety and comfort of every animal on-site, personal pets may not attend Camp Dog Breath unless they have been specifically invited and approved as an official dog model.

Trained service animals are, of course, welcome in accordance with applicable law. Please contact us in advance so we can help make your arrival and accommodations as smooth as possible.

A Guest Ticket is available for purchase as an add-on to your Camp Dog Breath ticket.

No, Camp Dog Breath is offered only as a complete four-night experience, regardless of how many days you are available to attend.

The schedule, lodging, meals, shoots, and experiences are intentionally designed as one complete adventure, and we will not be offering single-day tickets.

Because we are focused on creating the most epic, unforgettable in-person experience possible, we do not currently plan to record the complete Camp Dog Breath program or offer it for sale digitally afterward.

Portions of the event may be photographed or filmed by the Camp Dog Breath media team for promotional, educational, or documentary purposes, but attendees should not expect complete class recordings or replays.

This is an in-person experience that requires your magic and mojo!

Yes! A payment-plan option will be available at checkout.

Your payment schedule and all applicable terms will be shown before you complete your purchase. Your Camp Dog Breath Ticket must be paid in full by the stated deadline in order to attend.

For travelers seeking the greatest number of flight options, Boston Logan International Airport is likely to be the most convenient major airport.

Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in New Hampshire (~1hr 20min) and Portland International Jetport in Maine (~1hr 45min) are the closest airports, and may also be good options depending on your departure city and ground-transportation plans.

We are exploring options for scheduled group transportation from Boston Logan International Airport to Camp Dog Breath for arriving and departing campers.

Exact pickup windows, pricing, luggage limitations, and reservation instructions will be announced once plans are finalized.

Campers may also rent a car or arrange their own transportation. Please do not assume that on-demand rideshare service will be readily available for the full journey or near camp.

Yes, you may drive to Camp Dog Breath. There is parking available on-site for the duration of your stay. Use the following address for driving directions.

Please understand that all Camp Dog Breath tickets are non-refundable, without exception.

However, Camp Dog Breath will honor a one-time transfer of your ticket to a different person for a $50 administrative fee.

Transfer requests must be received no later than 8/9/27 and submitted to [email protected]. Travel insurance is strongly encouraged, particularly if you are booking flights or other non-refundable travel arrangements.

We’re so sorry! VIP mentoring availability is incredibly limited so that we can be as respectful as possible of each instructor’s time and bandwidth.

Purchasing a VIP upgrade does not guarantee access to any one specific instructor unless that selection is confirmed during the booking process.

VIP upgrades and instructor selection are first come, first served.

A complete packing list will be sent to registered campers well before the event.

You can expect to bring your camera gear, weather-appropriate clothing, comfortable shoes, personal toiletries, required medications, and the everyday essentials you would pack for a stay at summer camp.

New Hampshire weather can change quickly, and some photography experiences may take place outdoors in damp, uneven, sunny, cool, or low-light conditions. Layers and practical footwear will be your friends.

Camp Dog Breath takes place at a traditional summer-camp property, and terrain, pathways, lodging, and activity locations may vary in accessibility.

If you have mobility, medical, sensory, or other accessibility needs, please contact us before purchasing. We will provide the most accurate venue information available and discuss reasonable accommodations with you.

That would be Joshua the Pit Bull. Didn’t think you’d get this far down in the questions.
