Things I’ve learned at summer camp (and the campers don’t even arrive until tomorrow):
-Living in the woods with hundreds of artists is crazy and beautiful almost all of time
-Camp songs at a music camp actually have determined notes and are sometimes sung in harmony. (I’ve decided upon singing suuuper quietly and admiring the beautiful voices surrounding me.)
-Most female camp counselors don’t like spiders so I’ve had to rescue quite a few spiders from the bathroom. (Warning – previously mentioned counselors may scream if they see you walking out of the bathroom with a spider on your hand.)
Things for which I’m excited:
...helping out with theater classes like “movement”, “script analysis” and maybe even “stage combat”
...spending the summer in the woods with an amazing group of encouraging, creative and (usually) absurd group of people who love art and making a difference in the lives of others :)
...getting to take (most of) ballet class every morning before my daily responsibilities begin
...getting to be part of a Staff Dance Ensemble in which we may be creating our own choreography
...helping to teach/demonstrate for Yoga and Contemporary dance classes
...enjoying being electronic-free, anxiously awaiting letters and experiencing times of uninterrupted prayer in the woods
...having the opportunity to be a light in the lives of many young artists this summer as they grow in their art and seek to understand their purpose
