August Camp Highlights!

September 5, 2024

The end of summer is always bittersweet, but as we look forward to the new and exciting things ahead this fall, we want to give a big shoutout to all of our campers, parents, and teachers who made this summer great. The creativity, kindness, and teamwork the campers brought to the table each day were energizing and inspiring. We couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you all for making our 2024 summer camp season such a success. We wrapped up the season with our annual Night at the Rock Opera camp, which has developed a bit of a cult following over the years. Enjoy the highlights below!

Night at the Rock Opera

Each year, our campers write a complete rock opera as a large group, but this year's camp culminated in three mini-operas by the end of the week. Check out their creative titles: Barf on the Floor, Levi the Mad Scientist, Twilight the Musical, and Stuck in a Factory—what a hoot! The campers wrote original lyrics and music, and came up with entertaining storylines, complete with DIY stage backdrops that took their shows to the next level. We loved their creativity on this one and can’t wait to see what they come up with next year.


While you're here, enjoy our slideshow featuring featuring highlights from the camp and take a listen to some of the original music from Stuck in a Factory on our Bandcamp.

Thank you again for making our summer great!
