 Drama
Open Auditions!! Actresses are wanted for this summer's
performance. Campers aid in all aspects of the performance - from
lighting and costume design, to scenery and direction. Whether it is
a one woman play, or a musical with our brother camp -
Camp Awosting
- every production is sure to please even the toughest critics. |
 Music
Warm up your vocal chords and break out
your rhythm for the camp's Music program. Campers assist with the
music in the Drama and Dance productions. Additionally, campers
explore different music styles, group singing, and instruments that
are available at camp, such as piano and guitar. |
 Dance
Learn the latest dance craze or practice
your ballet in our Dance Studio. Campers receive instructional
training in creative modern, jazz, and ballet. Practice pays off at
the Dance Shows that are held during the summer. Perform your own
routine, or one with the girls in your cabin. |
 Computers
Campers away from home find the computer
room a way to get back in touch with relatives and friends from
home, as well as other campers. E-mail and the World Wide Web have
become part of many campers' daily routine. Programming classes
occur each morning and additional instruction on Word Processing,
graphic design & HTML programming are offered throughout the summer.

 Video
Filming
Practice your filming techniques - learn
to be the next Oscar-winning cinematographer. Combined with the
drama program, campers learn how to edit video tapes, as well as
create camp-oriented programs and short films. Campers are taught to
put sound to their videos and can make a tape to bring home as a
remembrance of their time at Chinqueka. |
 Photography
Are your pictures good enough to make the
camp newspaper, the Tom-Tom, or the weekly update to the Web Site?
Camper learn picture composition and film development. Use the camp
cameras or bring your own. Create a scrapbook of pictures to look
back on in the winter months - remembering the fun you had in your
cabin, at the waterfront, or on the weekly campout! |
 Arts
& Crafts - Ceramics
Learn the latest way to Tie-Dye your socks
(bring an extra pair, just in case!) Or, make a lanyard key-chain
for your older brother who has to stay home for summer school. The
Arts & Crafts program develops the creative side of our campers.
Campers are encouraged to experiment with different type of crafts
not taught in a normal school art program. The results are seen
around camp - from the cover of the newspaper to the backdrop in the
camp drama production. |
 Journalism
The camp newspaper,
the Tom-Tom is a product of many hours of hard work
in our computer lab. Campers learn from trained journalists about
writing style, editing newspaper content, and what it takes to put
together a weekly publication. Every camper then writes a
letter home on the back of their newspaper each week - so you can
share in the activities and events that happened in camp the
previous week. |
