Time for another heartwarming highlight from our 2025 Summer Adventure Camps 🫶

MDC education staffer Michaela remembers:
"One little girl who came almost every week of camp this summer passed me in the hall one day with wonder in her eyes and said 'I just met a real mermaid!' after meeting Mermaid Traci. Having attended seven weeks already you would think she had seen all that MDC had to offer, but it was so sweet to see that sparkle in her eye as her imagination grew."

Summer Art Camp at ACA was amazing this week!

Campers explored the Japanese art of gyotaku—creating fish prints by applying ink to the fish’s surface and pressing paper onto it. As you can see, they did a fantastic job!

This week’s theme was “Under the Sea.” Campers painted their own visions of underwater life as seen in New Smyrna Beach. The attention to detail in their work is incredible!

Don’t miss out—join us next week for “Into the Wild.”
