The Suncoast Camera Club (SCC) was founded in 1960 and currently has over 25 members of all abilities and ages. We normally have two meetings per month. The first Tuesday of the month is our monthly evaluation night. The second meeting is a field trip, normally held the third week of the month. Members of SCC compete in electronic imaging at the Year-End Competition.

Why join a photography club?
Some common reasons are:
  • To make friends with people who share your interest in photography
  • To improve your photography
  • To show your work to people who appreciate good photography
The Suncoast Camera Club offers many opportunities to increase the enjoyment of your hobby.
