Beach Week at Farmhouse in the City

Wednesday, June 4, 2014

To finish up my first installment on summer camps around the Atlanta area, I headed over to Roswell to the Farmhouse in the City where campers were creating multimedia paintings of seahorses. I arrived a little early so I hung out while the campers finished their lunch break. Farmhouse in the City has numerous themed rooms besides the main art space where campers were busy playing with toys and creating puppet shows. After lunch the painting began as a loud din of noise overtook the room, some conversation, some laughter and some singing along with the music that played on a mini stereo system. It was a great way to end my art camp adventure! In case you missed the past two days, check out Camp Carlos and the Summer Youth Art Weeks at the Abernathy Arts Center and stay tuned for the next installment which will feature camps that focus on children with special needs!
