We don't know what were doing and need some serious help. For our project, we have a motion sensor that is hooked up to the Arduino, when it detects motion, it is suppose to turn the camera on, take a picture, then, after taking a picture with the Arducam stores the picture on an SD card.
The motion sensor works properly, but we are in the dark about the camera and the SD card.
hardware:
Arduino uno
Arduncam mini modular OV2640
SMAKM SD card reader
Consult the camera documentation, library and examples, how to connect and control the camera, and how to read out pictures.
Without meaning to coming across as unhelpfull, DrDiettrich is absolutely right. Nobody here will ready your post and think... oh, I will write some code for you so you don't have to do it!
Break your project down into manageable chunks. You have the PIR working, now find out how to trigger the camera, then find out how to write to SD card, then how to do whatever is next, then put it all together.
Don't try to do it all at once.

But what if you don't even know where to start, I have the same project and the code isn't the issue, the issue is being completely unable to move forward because I have no idea what the next step is. I have wired the camera up according to the documentation and tried to use the files/ program the website has for testing and havent been able to get any response from the camera.
It's quite unlikely that the example programs don't work. More probably is an incompatible controller or supply voltage, wrong wiring, or a broken device due to wrong supply or wiring. Remote diagnostics are very hard, if you can not establish a working connection to your camera, and don't have or don't know how to use suitable testing equipment, like a scope or logic analyzer.
