Camera Courses

I was wondering: Where is a good place to take a camera course?
Maybe, Best Buy or something...

I would look into local community colleges - most colleges include photography courses in their Art or Visual Arts programs. If you're still in high school, see if your high school offers a course. Mine did, and it was very useful. It focused more on 35mm photography (digital still wasn't big at the time), but that was where I really learned the basics of aperture, ISO, shutter speed, composition, and even developing.

Beginner's level and something that'll give me the basics in digital photography.

As far as the digital thing goes, in a beginner course, I wouldn't even worry about that at this point - the basic rules that apply to film also apply to digital. I think most stuff you'd learn in a film class (aside from developing) would be directly applicable to digital. Digital would just require learning a little more about the electronics of a digital camera and how they affect photos. :)
