Spring 2008
Dear Young Singers, Actors, Artists, and Dancers,
Arlington Community Church invites you to spend one week in August at our Third Annual Peace Child Summer Arts Camp, August 11-15, 2008. A musical, yet to be chosen, will be selected or written for the week to help us educate ourselves about peace, kindness and justice. Young people will help co-create the dancing, music, singing, artwork, and puppetry of the production. The past two summers’ musical theater productions have set a standard that we will strive to match and surpass each year.
Participants will meet from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM each day, Monday through Friday, for one week. Each young person will join in singing and music training with Shanti Moorjani, dancing and acting training with Michael Mansfield, and art and puppet training with Lisa Klein, filling each morning with the creative process of making a musical theater production. The celebration of our work will be open to the public on Friday night August 15 at 7:00 PM. If the size of the group permits us to have a second show, we will also perform the show on Saturday night, August 16 at 7:00 PM.
Young people ages 8-14 are welcome to participate in the camp. Participants receive a mid-morning healthy snack and a lunch at 12:45. The cost for the five-day arts camp is $125. Registration begins February 1, 2008. Attached are the permission form and registration form. Print, complete and return your forms as soon as possible to confirm your space. The permission form gives us vital information about your young people, to fully assure our attention to details for health, safety, and responsibility toward those in our care. Attach a check to these forms if you wish to complete and finalize your participation in the summer camp, made out to Arlington Community Church. For more registration information, please call the church office at 526-9146 or email acc.staff@sbcglobal.net. For more program information, you may contact Michael at jeangarcon@aol.com or Shanti at leslieshanti@yahoo.com. If you have any questions or would like a chance to talk with parents/guardians of previous participants, contact rie_u@sbcglobal.net, drshario@comcast.net, or slamon@cheerful.com.
Arlington Community Church offers a year-round arts education program called SPIRIT AND THE ARTS, welcoming all children, youth, and families to participate in the creative process. The program is open to families of any faith tradition who wish to grow in their interfaith awareness, appreciation, and creative expression. We invite you to consider making Arlington Community Church your place for a wider and deeper family arts experience. SPIRIT AND THE ARTS allows young people to continue arts training in acting, dancing, and singing classes in the Fall here at Arlington Community Church.
Thanks for joining us in our work of peace and kindness.
