The McLean Photography Club offers a wide variety of events and activities, including lectures, demonstrations, field trips, workshops, competitions and critiques, and social activities. The club publishes a monthly newsletter ("Point of View"), provides access to some of the areas best photographers, and provides a window into emerging technologies. Club membership is comprised of a wide variety of interests, from traditional to digital, with a full range of expertise, from beginners to recognized experts. The club also conducts "members-only" workshops and meetings at other places such as member's homes, professional studios, and other locations of interest to photographers.

          Photographic competitions are held 3 times each year, with novice and advanced categories in black-and-white, color slides, and color prints. The club operates on the philosophy that the artistry of the end product is the prime goal, and does not differentiate between conventional and digital photography. All competitions are judged by experts from outside the club. The competitions provide constructive individualized critiques, and emphasize personal improvement rather than competition for its own sake. The competitions are for members only, and the public is cordially invited to attend. Winning work is is occasionally placed on public display at various locations in the area.
