Virtual pd: camp yearbook 2025
We always say we will get started on yearbook planning over the summer. Raise your hand if you follow through. (My hand is down too.) Camp Yearbook, Treering's two-day virtual yearbook planning course, is back. It's part large-group training, part small-group mentoring and idea sharing. And it's 100% live.
The goal: have the first six weeks of yearbooking planned.
What to Expect
Treering's Camp Yearbook is a cameras-on, all-in yearbook planning experience.
Event Structure
Both days are three hours of large-group training and smaller breakouts designed for you to get all your questions answered.
We'll provide the goal-setting worksheets, ladders, idea decks, and resources because we want you to finish Camp Yearbook with your first six weeks of yearbooking planned.
Based on your feedback, Camp Yearbook’s sessions are even more specialized:
- Getting Rooted: designed for yearbook creators with fewer than three years with Treering, this session is focused on time-saving tips, design basics, what to do in class, and all the must-know info to create and market your yearbook.
- Branching Out: for experienced advisers looking to level up their yearbook design or classroom pedagogy, this session is all about intermediate and advanced features such as creating styles, adding content to portrait pages, yearbook staff structure, and problem-solving.

Treering Mentors
All attendees will be in a small group led by a Treering staff member who served—or currently serves—as a yearbook adviser. In groups specific to school style and yearbook team structure, you can ask questions about grading, crowdsourcing, club structure, page count, and whatever else you need answered. (Your camp counselors aren't Treering life coaches, but close.)
Grow Together
Breakout groups for parent volunteers, solo yearbook coordinators, educators, and club leaders mean you get meaningful support and specific-to-you resources.
Camp Yearbook 2025 FAQs
Your questions deserve answers!
How is Camp Yearbook different from Treering Live (TRL)?
TRL is Treering’s flagship event. During National Yearbook Week, TRL will have all the design training, coveted prizes, and organization inspiration yearbook advisers have come to expect. We look forward to it as much as you do!
Camp Yearbook is a summer PD program for yearbook coordinators and advisers who want to get more from their program through professional mentoring and collaborative idea-sharing. It’s a cameras-on, all-in yearbook planning experience.
How do I know which session to attend?
Camp Yearbook is structured differently this year: based on your feedback, we have the yearbook overview to support newer advisers and a second session to challenge the veterans.
BOTH have sneak peeks, specialized group training, and breakouts with Treering mentors.
What do I need to prepare for Camp Yearbook?
Make sure Zoom is up-to-date. This helps with breakout sessions and sound quality.
If possible, have previous copies of your yearbook and the 25-26 school calendar.
How much is it?
Free ninety free. Charging extra for support and training is not our thing.
Will I get CE/PD hours for attending?
Yes! Upon request, attendees will receive a certificate for six hours of yearbook production and classroom planning.
Can students attend?
Nope. Consider this a break… a working break.
Will Camp Yearbook be recorded?
Camp Yearbook is an interactive, experiential event. Recordings will not be made public.
