Mayor of Camden, Cr Therese Fedeli, said Camden Swirls was a great way for young residents to unleash their creative side.

“Whether it’s something they’re already interested in or maybe it’s something they’d like to explore a little more, getting our kids involved in creative activities can have so many benefits,” Cr Fedeli said.

“It’s a great way for them to unwind and bring about a positive mindset, connect with peers across the Camden area and, who knows, we might see the start of an acclaimed artist in our midst!

“Bookings for each activity will open as they get closer so, if there’s something that tickles your little one’s interest, make sure to keep an eye on it to avoid disappointment.”
