Padre Trails Camera Club has been active on the Monterey Peninsula since 1948. Our meetings are free and open to the public and involve image and technique sharing, informational programs and friendly monthly competition. Beginner or experienced, if your goal is to create more compelling images, Padre Trails can help.
The technology used to create striking photographic images has changed massively since 1948 but the sharing community of photographers has remained constant. PTCC strives to nurture that community through a relaxed meeting atmosphere, print and projected image sharing and discussion, professional critiques and group outings.

Meetings - We have begun in-person meetings on the first Wednesday of each month and continued Zoom virtual meetings on the third Wednesday of each month. The in-person meetings will be held at 700 Jewel Street in Pacific Grove at the Meals on Wheels Community Center. The format of the meetings may change as we become more adapted to the technical issues that may be involved.
