Experience

Photo Services

There are many ways to preserve the Culver experience through photography. Culver partners with Bunk 1 to provide hundreds of new photos every day that can be viewed online. Photographs can be downloaded and forwarded to friends and family, or prints can be ordered for home delivery.

Culver will be taking individual and unit pictures during the first couple weeks of camp. Parents can order formal portraits through one of two authorized Culver photographers that offer photo services for Culver families. Information on Bunk 1, Culver photography and our affiliate professional photographers are provided below:

Bunk 1

Looking for day-to-day candid photos of your son or daughter? You should check out Bunk 1! Bunk 1 is updated daily with photos from around camp. Browse or buy, it's up to you, but make sure you sign up so you can keep track of your child and all the fun things they are doing at camp this summer!

If you are interested in signing up before camp begins please read the instructions below on how to create an account with Bunk 1. 

Visit the Bunk 1 website.

Please note: We will begin distributing Bunk Notes to campers on Monday, July 4, 2022. This allows time for the campers to adjust to being away from home. 

Unit/Cabin Individual Photos

Unit, cabin and individual photos will be taken of your Upper and Woodcraft campers. Your Woodcraft camper will be dressed in polo shirts and shorts. If you would like a formal portrait with their sashes or jackets you will need to schedule a professional portrait session. Your Upper School student will have their photos taken in their dress uniforms.

Professional Photo Services

Culver has partnered with four professional photographers to provide custom formal portraits of your camper in a summer camp setting. The formal portrait service may not be for everyone, but it is available for those who are interested. Many families appreciate this service since their son and daughter can be photographed in their camp uniform in our unique campus setting. All photographers have extensive experience in photography. We are confident that you and your camper will be pleased with the photographer of your choice.
