The Southwestern Michigan Council of Camera Clubs was established to:

  • Promote social and educational programs for the benefit member clubs and individual enthusiasts
  • Provide mutual support for the benefit of the member clubs

Our Beginnings. 
​On May 8, 1954 representatives from nine West Michigan camera clubs met at the Scott Art and Garden Center in Lansing to consider forming an organization that would combine their talents and resources about photography.  From that meeting grew the Southwestern Michigan Council of Camera Clubs. 57 years later and we've moved into the digital age.
Our Organization.
The board of SWMCCC consists of volunteers from the various member clubs.  Additionally, member clubs appoint an individual to represent them to the SWMCCC board.
