A Dreamweek Event was made the Roosevelt Park for a Picture Your World photography workshop along the San Antonio River Mission Reach. Open to youth ages 8-18, the Picture Your World Youth Photography Program workshops teach photographic composition and technique through hands- on demonstration, and constructive critique. Participants will produce a visual memory of their day and begin a creative portfolio while experiencing the wonders of the natural environment. Each workshop is led by the Picture Your World Program Manager, Carra Garza, along with a professional photographer, and a Master Naturalist. Participants may bring their own digital camera, or we will provide one for you.

Overlooking a bend in the San Antonio River along the Mission Reach, Roosevelt Park was once used as a training ground for President Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders in 1898. The site was later designed and designated as a park in 1908. **The meeting location is the Roosevelt Park Clubhouse.
