☀️ What an unforgettable summer at the Harris Arts Center! 🎨🎭

Over the past few months, our halls have been filled with creativity, laughter, and imagination as over 130 campers learned, created, performed, and grew together through our summer programs.

This summer we hosted:
🎨 Four sessions of Art Camp
🖌️ Two sessions of Jr. Art Camp
🧚 Two weeks of Theater Camp, culminating in our production of Peter Pan JR.
🦁 One week of Theater Camp Kids, bringing The Lion King KIDS to life on stage

From painting masterpieces and exploring new artistic techniques to learning choreography, memorizing lines, building confidence, and taking a bow under the stage lights, every camper made this summer one to remember. Watching their creativity blossom and their confidence shine is what makes these programs so special.

A heartfelt thank you to Ryan Homes for generously providing snacks for our Art Camps and to Shaw for sponsoring our Theater Camps. Your support helped make an incredible summer experience possible for so many young artists and performers.

Thank you to all of our campers, families, instructors, volunteers, and supporters for making Summer 2026 one of our best yet. We can't wait to see what next summer brings! 💙

Keep up your energy after Summer ends!
