Summer Arts Camp: ASIA

Each year the CAC puts together a camp during the month of June for kids ages 5 to 12 years old. This year the kids explored the wonders of Japan and China as they indulged in clay, origami, lanterns, dragon masks, kabhuki theatre, haiku writing and much more. We had quite a few leaders and teachers that made this camp possible, which were:
Betsi Chamlee, Drawing & Painting
Stephen Bishiop, Asia Art
George Narro, Wise Art
Robbie Thompson, 3D Art
Suzanne Besser, Theatre Mistress
Byron Lovelace, Theatre Master
The end of the first week, Jr.Asia, the kids presented a parade of their art for their parents, as they wound their way through Wendland Hall.
At the end of last two weeks, Asia I: Japan and Asia II: China, the kids put on a performance for their parents to see what they learned in theatre all week. The first camp performed a Japanese tale called "Hidesato, My Lord Bag of Rice."
The second camp performed a Chinese Tale called "The Seven Chinese Brothers." Each story was adapted by our two Kabuki Theatre Directors, Byron Lovelace and Suzanne Besser.
The kids put on a great performance and really had a great time. We are so glad your children were able to come and join us this year and we look forward to seeing them again next year!
