Great 1st Raystown Summer Nights concert on Saturday night at the Seven Points Amphitheater. The rain cleared out just before the 6 pm start, and we ended up with a great audience. Thanks to Friends of Raystown Lake and the Army Corps for their support, as well as the many vendors who had booths for activities. Next Raystown Summer Nights is Saturday, July 11, with Nick Miller.

Andrea Darby-Tietjens is teaching during Weeks 2 & 3 at our Kids Summer Art Camps. During Week 2, she is teaching Found Object Creative Sculptures! Join us for this hands-on sculpture camp where young artists ages 5–8 get to dig into a treasure trove of everyday materials like cardboard, paper clips, popsicle sticks, air-dry clay, tape, paper, and more! And turn them into totally original, one-of-a-kind creations. No two projects will look the same, because no two imaginations are the same!

During Week 3, she is teaching Making Your True Art.
Join us for a one-of-a-kind camp experience designed for kids ages 9–12 who already know they love making art — and are ready to go deeper. Whether you’re into drawing, painting, comics, character design, portraiture, or something totally your own, this is your space to explore it further and grow in the ways that matter most to you. No cookie-cutter projects here. Instead, each kid gets personalized guidance tailored to their own artistic interests and goals. With support from an experienced teaching artist, students will sharpen their fundamental skills, develop their own unique style, and walk away with a body of work that actually feels like them.

Kelly Cunningham is teaching 𝐾𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝐿𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑠 𝐻𝑒𝑟𝑒 at our 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐫𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐬 this year.

𝐾𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝐿𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑠 𝐻𝑒𝑟𝑒 is a one-of-a-kind art camp where kids come together to create a detailed, hand-built model of Huntingdon — filled with the places they love and the moments of kindness that make our community special. Think miniature parks, sculpted figures, painted storefronts, and tiny scenes of people helping, sharing, and connecting. It’s part art studio, part storytelling adventure, part love letter to our town.
