Our third day of 4-H Creativity Day Camp brought a whole new experience for our young campers. We headed to the Carolina Civic center this morning for a whole new type of fun. We were greeted at the historic theater by the artist in residence Kendrix Singletary. There is gave us a tour of the theater and a bit if it's history while educating our day campers about the theater. After the tour our youth got, what they were really hoping for, their chance at the stage. Lead by the Artist in Residence our youth all spoke from the stage, worked on acting, loosening up, and had a ball with their various improve games that were lead. Some of them really surprised us as they came out of their shells and became entirely new characters and evoked a great deal of energy. We had such a good time at the theater that our campers didn't want to leave. After promises of a chick fillA lunch we finally pried them off the stage and into the vans.
After a wonderful lunch and fairly animated conversation over lunch our actors and actresses took on a new role, that of student. Joined by 4-H Volunteer Jane Hurst our youth got the opportunity to learn how to finger crochet and arm knit. Each youth made different types of neck swag. From chunky infinity scarves to necklaces our youth left with really cool projects that they made on their very own.
All in all it was a day that we stitched up, tomorrow? Well that's something we will throw down on tomorrow. All we know ow is that we need to take a brief spin. Stay tuned....
