Welcome to the online home of the West Shore Photography Club. The purpose of the West Shore Photography Club is to promote photography in central Pennsylvania.
Meetings are held online (via Zoom) approximately every other Monday night at 7pm. A schedule of planned club activities is published on our “Calendar of Events” located under the “Calendar” tab at the top of this page.
You can join the club by clicking on the “Dues: Join/Renew” tab” at the top of this page and following the directions provided.
Club membership also entitles you to join our Facebook Group—where members share photos, dialogue about photography, and keep abreast of club activities: https://www.facebook.com/groups/westshorephotographyclub

1. Acknowledge, accept and agree that you understand the nature of the activity and that you are qualified and in proper physical condition to participate in such activity. You further acknowledge that the activity may involve certain hazards and warrant that if at any time you believe the conditions to be unsafe, you will immediately discontinue further participation in the activity. Participation in all club activities is entirely voluntary.
2. Fully understand that participation in activities may involve risks and danger of bodily injury or infection or death and may also involve risk of damage to or loss of equipment. There may be other risks, social or economic losses either not known to you or not foreseeable at this time, and you fully accept and assume all such risks and responsibility for losses, costs and damages you incur as a result of your participation in the activity.
3. Acknowledge that the WSPC does not provide health insurance, accident insurance, or any other kind of insurance for participants such as you, and you understand that any and all medical expenses, property loss(es) and other personal expenditures that occur or result before, during or after this event/activity, including the travel to and from the event/activity, are to be borne solely by you, as the participant, or by your parent or legal guardian (if you are a minor).
4. Agree that images shared with WSPC may be published in club-related media. This may include: digital projection, internet publication, contest entry or other forms.
