Hey there, family and friends!
It's been a long, wonderful week and an eventful last day. It was so sad to see all their little faces tonight as they hug each other. The campers have been able to bond with each other very well and are going to miss each other tremendously. If they could, I'm sure they would definitely be okay with staying for another few days with their new family here at Arts-X-Press. They miss each and everyone one of you, no question, but we have also created a very special, shall I say magical, kind of family here at Arts-X-Press.
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 are brilliant, kind, and talented.
Speaking of talent, after family and parents left, the kids presented their talent in either a group or solo act at our own talent show. I honestly should get all of their signatures for when they become famous someday. The word "magical" comes to mind again when describing the talent show. The amount of support and energy in these kids is astounding!
No matter any mistake or mishap, no laughing was to be heard, only unconditional support, love, and warmth as the kids cheered on their friends.
Finally, the 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,
your lovely counselors
