CAMERON (WEAU) -- Spending hours of her day taking photographs isn't just a hobby for 18-year-old Wynter Clark, it's her job.

And it's all possible because of the Cameron Academy of Virtual Education, or the CAVE program.

The CAVE program is a virtual charter school that’s grown from six students seven years ago to 78 enrolled students between kindergarten and 12th grade this year. Superintendent of Cameron schools Randy Braun calls it flexible and individualized learning.

While a typical day for elementary kids at the Cameron Elementary School involves a trip to the cafeteria; lunch time and pretty much everything else isn't on a set schedule for the Clark family.

The six Clark children still living at home are enrolled in the CAVE program, each of them have an individualized lesson program designed with the help of the school district to foster the students' strengths.

“We take great pains to say what do you want out of this,” Braun explains.

For Wynter, an interest in photography blossomed into a full-time business with the help of a starter camera and photography lessons from the district.

“Once I started learning it I said this is kind of cool, so as I started using it more and realized that I really loved it, that's how it grew into a business. Friends would ask if I could take their picture,” she tells us.

Wynter plans on taking online college classes next year as she continues to expand her full-time photography business, snapping anything from senior portraits to weddings all across the state and beyond.

She tells us it was the CAVE program that allowed her to flourish, “It gives me the freedom of time to actually have photo shoots, and the time to be able to finish up the photo shoots, editing and processing,” she says.

Wynter's mom Karen says the program has allowed for more time for all of her children to focus on what they love.

“You still obviously have to do the basics in school, but what's more for our children, and we have the time to do that now,” Karen tells us.

Most students in the CAVE program are homeschooled but are required to take standardized tests. They are also given the opportunity to use the resources of the public school as little or as much as they want.
