In Their Own Words...
"It’s made me a lot happier, and I’ve become less shy. I would love to come back so I can see my friends, make new ones, and make more art."
- Artists In WonderCamp Participant
“I have changed...in many ways. One of the reasons is that I have learned art is more than just paint on a canvas. I would love to come back and plan on doing so, because I want to make more art and spend time with people here."
