Thanks For A Great Summer
The Sundance Summer Camp is finishing up it's 32nd year this week, and what a fantastic summer it has been! Sundance has always been known for providing a balanced program that offers a wide variety of interesting subjects and activities while keeping sight of the whole child. Our talented staff increased our course offerings this summer to include subjects ranging from arts and crafts and discovery science to academic enrichment and theatre arts, dance and music. And we can't forget Granny's busy kitchen!
We are always so thrilled to have many of our campers return in September. Their summer experience helps them to really take off when school begins. All of our campers shared so many meaningful experiences. When young children share truly enriching activities that inspire their imagination, a special bond is created that greatly enhances social skills. It is truly amazing to see how quickly these skills develop when children have the opportunity to learn and grow together in an environment where they feel safe, loved and challenged!
A tried and true way to forge friendships is to collaborate and perform together in a play or dance or choral group. Participating in such activities has many other benefits including building self-esteem and self-confidence. We often hear from alumni who have cherished memories of their Sundance shows, and who remember the fun they had singing together.
Last week the campers were treated to an amazing and energizing performance of "Seussical the Musical!" The production was given by the members of the Sundance Theatre Arts Camp under the seasoned direction of Joann Merrigan. The last week of the Creative Arts Summer Camp for ages 2-6 will feature thematic performances directed by our summer stage instructor, Sara Miller. It is a delight to watch as the children demonstrate their theatrical, musical and social growth in the supportive, creative atmosphere created by everyone on our faculty through their warmth, patience and positive energy.
Friendships and life-long skills and interests have also been nurtured in the Academic Enrichment Program and in the Discovery Science afternoon classes. We hope you'll stop in the auditorium this last week to see our "Into the Woods" Science Fair created by the children and the unbeatable Science team of Cynthia McManigal and Mrs "A."
We hope you have been very pleased with your child's Sundance summer experience. We welcome your feedback! Please feel free to write us a note or give us a call to let us know what you and your child liked the best about the program, and any suggestions you might have for making it even better.
To those of you moving on to other schools come September, we wish you all the best! Please come visit! To those of you who are returning in the fall, we will see you again soon for some more Sundance fun! To everyone, we hope you really enjoy the rest of your summer!
Sincerely,
Jeff, Ginny, Janet and the entire Sundance
