We are painting rocks to "hide" all over Volusia County to spread joy and brighten people's day. Come join us! This is a community-building group meant to inspire creativity in all ages and energize people to explore the beautiful area
All you have to do is find some rocks and some painting supplies and get creative! This is surprisingly fun for ALL ages young and older. Need inspiration? Search "rock painting" on Pinterest or Google Images to find lots of rock painting ideas. Artwork that is PG rated is appreciated as kids love to look for and find the hidden rocks. On the back of your artwork we would love it if you would reference our Facebook group " Volusia County Rocks"! You can also additionally hashtag your city if you live in a surrounding area . Once you're done painting your rock, its recommended to seal it before hiding it to protect your art from the elements.
We would love for you to post pictures of your painted rocks before you hide them, or when you find them, but you can participate anonymously if you prefer. If you find a painted rock from our group you can either keep it or re-hide it for someone else to find. If you decide to keep a rock, you are encouraged to hide a new rock somewhere in its place (but this is optional!)
The goal is to get lots of people all across our communities painting so that there are lots of rocks to be found out there. You might find yourself rediscovering parts of our community you haven't appreciated in a while. Get out and ENJOY yourself! Add any of your friends to our group who would be interested in doing this and share the link to this group on your personal FB page.
*Please be careful where you hide your rocks so that they don't cause any damage to property (i.e. Don't hide in the grass where it can damage a lawn mower or hurt someone). Don't steal rocks from private property or from someone's landscaping. Don't trespass.
***PLEASE DO NOT HIDE***
> The children's department of libraries as they are a choking hazard.
> Inside movie theaters. We have been asked that we do not hide rocks in dark movie theatres as people can trip and employees will be forced to throw them away.
