Cultural Arts Council To Hold Spring Break Arts Camp

DOUGLASVILLE, GA –The Cultural Arts Council Douglasville/ Douglas County and the Douglas County Department of Parks and Recreation join forces once again to offer the 16th annual intensive arts camp at Deer Lick Park, during spring break, from Monday, April 8, through Friday, April 12.

Children, 7 – 11 years old, will spend a productive spring break exploring a wide variety of art disciplines with four expert and experienced teaching artists.

The goal of the Spring Break Arts Camp is to encourage and reveal the talents of every student to
highlight the impact the arts have on young children in developing their creative skills, social
interactions, and cultural awareness.

Fees for the week are $125 for the first child ($115 for CAC members) with a $5 dollar discount for siblings. Camp runs from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. with an early drop off and late pick up option for an additional fee.

Space is limited. Registration can be done in person or by visiting the Arts Council website –

During the Spring Break Arts Camp, artists will work with each student on specific projects within their discipline that reflect and expand on a common theme addressed by all the teachers. The theme this year is: Pride in our R.O. A. R (Reach –Out –And –Rise). The camp concludes with a Celebration of Success – a small reception to take place on Friday, April 12, from 5 until 6 p.m., to which the public is invited.

Attendees at the Celebration of Success will have the opportunity to witness a memorable performance featuring the performing arts skills learned during the week as well as the student’s artwork in a temporary exhibit put together by the visual arts teachers.

The 2019 Spring Break Arts Camp is made possible with the support from the GreyStone Power
Foundation. The Cultural Arts Council Douglasville/ Douglas County, located at 8652 Campbellton Street Douglasville, Georgia, is open Mondays through Fridays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For directions and more information, visit www.artsdouglas.org or contact the Cultural Arts Council at 770.949.2787.
