Thank You for a Magical Summer of Stories
|
We’re grateful for another amazing summer of creativity and imagination at Rapid City Arts Council’s Summer Camps. Together, we dived deep into the world of storytelling through art, drawing characters, creating books, and acting out scenes.
It was a joy to watch our young storytellers grow and discover the power of their own voices. We can’t wait to see what adventures await us in 2025! |
