Arts Camp revitalizes congregation and community

The Oregonian showcases Grace Memorial Church (Portland, OR) summer arts camp:


Grace Memorial Episcopal Church has offered Grace Art Camp, a summer arts camp, for the past fifteen years. This summer, over a thousand children will work in a half-dozen studios creating glass, fiber, music and dance projects inspired by specific cultures chosen each year. The program tries to keep students involved in the arts at a time that schools are cutting back and it has given new life to a once small and aging congregation.

Full disclosure-- this is the church where I was baptized, confirmed and married.
