Dear Editor,

As the parent of a very happy camper for the last three years, I would like to spread the word about a fun, affordable camp option for budding young thespians, singers, dancers and lovers of the theatrical arts.

The Town of Cornwall Recreation Department offers a great summer theater camp program for kids, ages 10-16, open to Town and non-Cornwall residents alike.
  
This unique camp experience is led by an extremely talented, vivacious group of young adults with a passion for the arts, dedicated to teaching acting, singing and dancing in a fun, approachable method.  It is obvious that, to the staff, this is more than just a summer job. The instructors care deeply about the impact of the performing arts on young people, and hold firm to the belief that appreciating and participating in theater produces well-rounded students who are willing to seize new opportunities. 

 And they do their job well. By the end of the session, the campers will have crafted a stage-ready production that will impress you beyond belief.  Last year's show was Oklahoma, and it was a resounding success. This year's show is a special version of Disney's The Little Mermaid...an instant classic and sure to please.

 Most importantly, the instructors maintain a fun, pressure-free environment to produce a seamless final performance that fills the campers (and their families) with pride and delight.  In only two hours a day, these kids not only have time to learn an entire show and rehearse it, but also participate in fun, improvisational theater games and exercises that will boost self-esteem, teach cooperation and discipline.

 Each child will shine, whether they are a theater novice or "seasoned pro," regardless of their role on stage, because they will have bonded with their fellow campers to create nothing less than magic...
 
Please spread the word so that more families can partake in this fantastic summer experience.  

For details, please call The Town of Cornwall Recreation Department at 845-534-2070 or visit  www.cornwallny.gov/recreation.

Thank you,
Linda Giardella
