After a final day of CE classes and our arts workshops, campers were surprised with special guests: musicians from the Pacific Symphony Orchestra! The kids were able to sit with these incredible artists during lunch, and invigorating conversation was had by all.
Following lunch, campers got a quick sampling of instrumental music. Our musicians demonstrated their own instruments before the kids got to try out instruments themselves in an instrument petting zoo. There was definitely some creative risk-taking happening ;p
Kjersti, one of our wonderful CE teachers, led campers in a percussion workshop in which kids learned the power of details, and the value of taking your time in life.
Dinner was delicious as per usual, and from there it was full speed ahead for parent presentation.
Every workshop and CE class showed us what they've been busy doing this week, and we finished with a grand finale of a full cast "Under the Sea" rendition.
BUT WAIT, there's more!
At the talent show, campers showed off their unique artistic abilities to the AXP family. From singing to playing an instrument, and beyond, your kids are INCREDIBLE.
Finally, we surprised the young artists with a quick party to celebrate our week together. It was a perfect ending to a perfect week.
From the AXP staff to you, we thank you for letting us borrow your wonderful, talented, and inspiring children for these 100 hours :D
