Blue Skies Campers Showcase Event

Aug 01, 2013

The weather could not have been better for this year’s Blue Skies Arts Camp, which took place in Clarendon July 22-25. The 52 campers who attended this year enjoyed a number of creative activities including dance, drama, choir, band, graphic design and animation and costume and prop making.

Campers had a chance to showcase their new found talents and skills at the Friday Showcase event on the Blue Skies main stage. The showcase included band, dance and choir numbers plus a dramatic production titled This Land is Our Land, a fashion show and much more. First-time camp director Susan Walker, who has been working with Blue Skies in the Community since 1987 and who has been the camp liaison for the last five years, said she was pleased with how the camp worked this summer.

“It was excellent. We had great weather and exceptional instructors and counselors this year which made for a very memorable and enjoyable time all around.”

New this year at camp was a plethora of yummy snacks from local farmer Janet Ducharme, owner of Johnston Lake Organic’s, who provided farm fresh snacks to campers and staff daily. Every morning a fresh delivery of home baked treats, bread, fresh fruits and veggies and other comestibles helped provide local organic food energy to campers.
