Day 2!

Today, our wonderful campers experienced our spotlight workshops.  Spotlight workshops give our campers an opportunity to try an art for that they have never tried before.  They all rotate between 30 minutes of vocal music, theater, and dance and are immersed in the different styles of art that could help push them to take creative risks.  The kids also had a chance to reflect on there appreciation to their fellow campers and to those at home who have supported their artistic journeys. Then, the campers had an evening excursion to the Strawberry Bowl to see Shakespeare OC performed. This original piece written by the main actress put a modern twist on Shakespearean sonnets. It was followed by a talk back with the actors and actresses where the campers could have their questions answered. The campers had a great day packed with many fun and enlightening experiences.
