John Waters Opens Adult Summer Camp in Connecticut
John Waters, the Baltimore-born filmmaker known for his transgressive style and cult classic "Pink Flamingos" (1972), is launching an adult summer camp in Kent, Connecticut. Priced at around $500 per person, the camp will take place in September and mimic traditional American summer camps with bungalows by a lake, campfires, and karaoke, but with added alcohol, air conditioning, and gourmet meals. Waters himself will be present to enhance the experience. This project follows his invitation by Christine Macel to participate in the upcoming Venice Biennale as an exhibiting artist, though his contribution remains undisclosed. Waters, a veteran of the Venice Film Festival, is considered a master by generations of artists for his provocative and image-driven filmmaking.
