Summer Arts Camp started about 25 years ago when we were at the old MAC and we would hold it at nearby elementary schools or Jr Highs. We took about a 3 year hiatus when we were getting ready to move to the new MAC and a couple years after we got here. Then we decided that we had enough space and could just hold the camp here.
