EATONTON, Ga. — With summer comes vacations, outdoor adventures and lots of relaxation. For kids, the summer means a couple months of not being in school and some time to have fun and be with friends. The Plaza Arts Center strives to create opportunities for kids to have fun, be with their friends and explore their creative side in the process. After the uncertain year that COVID brought, The Plaza is happy to say that summer camps are back to normal and in person. During a week in June, Camp Broadway was held in collaboration with The Arts Barn. It ended up being a huge success and the campers had an exciting week of learning new skills and honing their creative abilities. 

Coming up in July, The Plaza is bringing back Art Camp. Art Camp is a unique way for kids to get exposed to different mediums such as painting, drawing and even projects such as basket weaving. Each year, volunteers with The Plaza teach kids new ways to get involved with art and for them, it is so fun watching the kids light up when they discover a new interest. 

“Art Camp is such a great way for kids to get an experience that they may not have a chance to otherwise,” Taylor Hembree, Marketing Director at The Plaza Arts Center said. “I love that The Plaza presents opportunities for our area youth to explore new creative endeavors all the while enriching their minds. We hope that this year will be a success like in years past!” 

Art Camp will take place July 19-23 at the Plaza Community Center, 100 Ulysses Rice Court. Camp will be from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. each day; camp is $100 and there are scholarships available. Kids ages 6-12 are encouraged to attend. Register for Art Camp at plazacenter.org/education/ or by calling The Plaza at 706-923-1655. 

The Plaza Arts Center mission is to connect the community through the arts. The Plaza has a 500-seat theater, community rental venue, After School Arts Program, Old School History Museum and much more.
