Hello, LU! Campers and LU! Camper Parents!
We had a great 1st week at Camp, so we wanted to fill you in on some of the fun. But before we do that, here are just a few reminders:
*We have noticed that we have had many late arrivers this past week, so please try to get to Camp by 9:00. We have little time as it is to get everything we need done, so it would be wonderful to have full attendance at the start of Camp!
*Please continue to be good about the “no peanut/tree nut butter allowed at Camp” rule. We want everyone to feel safe at Camp, and this is one way to help those with allergies.
*Tickets are on-sale for the August 20th performance of I Believe in Make Believe. Each Camper is allowed 2 free tickets, and then there is a $5 charge per ticket after that. You may call the Box Office at (847) 577-2121 or buy them after Sign-Out on any day of the week. They’re selling quickly!
*Everyone should have received their I Believe in Make Believe script books last week, so please remember to bring them to Camp EVERY day. We want you to take them home so you learn your parts, but you must bring them back so we can rehearse!
*Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week are Spirit Days at Camp! This means that each day will be themed with something fun. We will be starting off Spirit Days with PAJAMA DAY on August 10th. Come to Camp in your favorite pj’s, and we’ll even have a fashion show to show them off!
And now, a word from our Director, Ms. Danielle:
Hello! My name is Danielle Coody and I am delighted to be directing I Believe In Make Believe. This week, campers learned a song and dance from the show for their auditions. Their auditions were wonderful! Students began building their group ensembles with theatre games and activities. In rehearsal, they learned music, choreography and staging for the Opening number, Someone Sneaks In, We’re Poor, Soldiers Brave, and Why Won’t She Laugh. I am excited to see them grow in their performance abilities over the next two weeks.
If you have not already, please remember to bring your child’s Costume Form tomorrow to Sign-In! Have a great rest of your weekend, and we’ll see you all bright and early tomorrow morning! Enjoy the sunshine!
