The purpose of the West Shore Photo Club is to bring people interested in photography together to help educate and inform them about how to become better photographers. A further purpose is to provide a fellowship opportunity for those of like interest. Standard meeting time is 7:00 PM on the first and third Mondays of each month except June, July and August. Meetings those months are on location as scheduled for shoot-outs. The meeting place is the Bethany Towers Community Room on Wesley Drive in Mechanicsburg. Visitors are always welcome, but photo competitions are only open to club members.

The first Monday meeting is usually an education meeting when outside professionals or select club members present an aspect of their expertise. The third Monday meeting is usually a photo competition when members compete for prizes and have their work critiqued by outside judges.  Shoot-out trips and assignments are scheduled throughout the year.
