The day will also include the premiere of original short films. All the art presented at the Arts Festival has been created this summer through the collaboration of campers and counselors at the Charles River Creative Arts Program.
Families can choose from over 60 events throughout the day. In addition to watching and enjoying the art, families can also be a part of the experience through activities such as face-painting and t-shirt making. Families can also try their hand at creating a newspaper, or participate in an interactive improv show. Volleyball, swimming and a home-run derby round out the activities.
