Cerro Coso Mammoth to Offer Burger Sierra Retreat Photography Workshop
June 17, 2009
Last fall Cerro Coso College offered the very successful Burger
Sierra Retreat Workshop. This popular Photography Workshop
(CRN:50004, Art CO60) is being offered again June 26-28 with an emphasis on
summer colors. All levels of photographic skill are welcome, and both
digital and traditional cameras can be used. A variety of topics, from
camera fundamentals to night photography, will be covered and participants
may choose which topics they wish to engage. This 1/2 unit Workshop begins on
Friday, June 26 and concludes on Sunday, June 28.
Located off Tioga Pass Road, this very special Photography Workshop was
first homesteaded in the 1880's by Sarah Noyes. In the early 1900's,
millionaire L. C. Brand bought the land and built the present lodge for
hunting. It was purchased by the Burger family in 1949 and is
currently designated a Bird and Animal Sanctuary. It is used primarily
today for family and educational purposes. Accommodations are rustic,
with 10 beds available in the lodge buildings and camping available anywhere
on the grounds. Participants may drive in to the site.
Since Burger's Sierra Retreat is "off the grid", a $5.00 fuel charge is
collected for the weekend usage. Meals are available at the Retreat
Workshop for the weekend (5 meals) for $55.00. For further information
about the itinerary, directions or other information, contact Cerro Coso
instructor, Elizabeth Kenneday-Corathers, at
