THEY'RE OURS, YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM BACK

Hello homo-sapien guardians of the fetuses,

We had a wonderful last day together, and there are a lot of sad little faces here tonight going to bed. They miss each and everyone one of you, no question, but we have also created a very special kind of family here at Arts-X-Press. If they could have, I am sure they would have chose to stay up all night having a giant slumber party because the bond between every single camper and counselor is so strong.
Today, before you all arrived, we went through our usual day. Creative Expressions and our Arts Workshops, preparing for this evening's parent presentation. The kids all worked really hard to make their four hours (for CE) and eight and a half hours (for the workshops) count. I was so proud of your kids as I am sure you are too. Each one of these kids is a brilliant, kind, talented soul.
Speaking of talent, after everyone left the kids presented their talent in either a group or solo act. I honestly should get all of their signatures for when they become famous someday.
Finally we counselors surprised the kids with a party, celebrating and commemorating our time at AXP.
I truly thank you for letting us borrow your children for these 100 hours, and you might have to fight us to get them back because we love them so much.

Sincerely,
The fabulous, loving, dabbing counselors of AXP
