And just like that, Summer Camp is in the books! It was a fun two weeks of fort building, cooking, painting, improvisation, and so much more. Campers tried new things, made new friends, got gloriously messy, and made plenty of memories along the way.

A huge thank you to these incredible organizations and generous individuals who helped make Summer Camp possible: Cloudbreak, Connecticut Community Foundation, Diebold Foundation, Elisha Leavenworth Foundation, Eversource, Jean & Julien Levy Foundation, New Opportunities, Northwest CT Community Foundation, Pocket Full of Rocks, Rumsey Hall School, Torrington Savings Bank Foundation, Town of Roxbury, Town of Washington, Union Savings Bank Foundation, Washington Scholarship Fund, and Watts Fund.

Recently, 11 young photographers wrapped up the Summer Photography Intensive with a final exhibition at Silpe Gallery

Over the course of the intensive, participants explored new techniques, strengthened their creative voices, and found inspiration during a field trip to the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art.

Thank you to our teaching artists, partners, and everyone who helped make this experience possible. We can't wait to see where these talented young photographers go next!
