We had so much fun at Masterpiece Makers last week! Campers enjoyed a week full of arts & crafts which included topics like nature art, art in history, and art around the world. They also heard from guest artist speakers, took a museum tour, and went on a field trip to Swirlee's. Thank you to all of our wonderful guest speakers and Swirlee's for letting us make cotton candy!

Join us for an evening with historian, Ken Johnston of History Now:
While Northern colonies called for Independence early, Georgia, the youngest colony, was deeply split, with a large, prosperous population remaining loyal to the British Empire as others rallied around the cause of Independence. This program examines the intense, often violent conflict between Georgia's Patriots seeking independence and the Loyalists who fought to maintain the British union. Using primary source documentation, multimedia presentation, and hands-on Living History demonstration, this presentation by History Now tells the story of how the state was transformed from a chaotic battleground of shifting alliances and brutal guerrilla warfare into one of the independent United States of America.
