Welcome to the Crystal Lake Camera Club
We are actively building this new site.
The previous site is still available HERE.
The Crystal Lake Camera Club, located in Crystal Lake, Illinois, was started about 1980 to provide our members with the opportunity to enjoy the hobby of photography and improve their photographic abilities.
The Crystal Lake Camera Club’s mission is to welcome photographers of all skill levels and interests and to help them grow through a nurturing environment, which provides and promotes good techniques and practices, educational workshops, photographic opportunities, challenging competitions, and open discussion set in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
Our club is a member of The Chicago Area Camera Clubs Association (CACCA), an active group of about 40 clubs. Winning prints in our competitions are entered in their monthly competitions.
Our meetings:
When? Second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 P.M
Where? Algonquin Township Building
3702 Northwest Hwy
Crystal Lake, IL 60014 Map
We cordially invite you to join our group, whether you are a novice or a professional photographer, and visitors are always welcome. Membership is open to all who have an interest in photography as a hobby. Members may elect not to compete and still enjoy all the other activities of the club.
To join the Crystal lake Camera club, please print the application form found HERE and bring the completed form to the next meeting. Annual dues are $25 to be paid by January each year.
