Horry-Georgetown Technical College (HGTC) is proud to welcome middle and high school students to its Conway Campus this summer for the Coastal Creatives program, an exciting four-day experience designed to inspire imagination, build problem-solving skills, and foster collaboration through the arts. The event will take place Monday, July 14 through Thursday, July 17, 2025, and is open to rising 8th through 10th grade students.
Hosted in partnership with the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities (SCGSAH), this immersive summer program invites students to sharpen their creative thinking through hands-on activities, team-based challenges, and thought-provoking discussions—ultimately connecting art to real-world problem-solving.
"At HGTC, we are committed to supporting educational opportunities that empower young minds and spark innovation," said Dr. Marilyn “Murph” Fore, President of Horry-Georgetown Technical College. "Programs like Coastal Creatives not only enhance students' artistic abilities but also help build critical life skills that will serve them well in any career path."
The program runs daily from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with an optional Early Bird Arts session, morning creative workshops, and a Lunch & Learn period. Lunch and materials are included. The total cost is $100, with a $3 online processing fee, and financial assistance is available.
While the program is filling quickly, spaces are still available for interested students. Parents and guardians are encouraged to register soon to secure a spot.
