Gettysburg, PA –  The Adams County Arts Council (ACAC) is excited to launch its new and improved 2026 Summer Camp program this July, featuring four weekly full-day camps for children ages 7–12 at the Arts Education Center, 125 S. Washington St.

Held during the weeks of July 6, 13, 20 and 27, the camps will allow students to explore creative themes across multiple artistic mediums, develop art-specific skills and learn from experienced artist instructors.

“It’s always a great time when the summer camps fill the center. The energy changes, and I remember the core mission of the Arts Council and why we’re important to the community,” said ACAC’s Program and Gallery Director, Becca Riley.

Campers may choose from four themed weeks featuring Culinary Arts, Visual Arts, Music and Movement and more.
