A Camp Experience With Purpose By Ann Mead Ash
Jennifer Eaton, manager of youth services with VisionCorps of Lancaster, laid out the rules early for the campers who took part in Camp Cool from June 17 to 21. The campers, each of whom has a vision impairment, were told that they were not allowed to come to Eaton and say, “I can’t (do something).” “They could say, ‘I need help’ or ‘I’m scared to do this,’” said Eaton. The idea behind the banned phrase was to encourage the 8- to 12-year-old students from Lancaster, Lebanon, and York counties to creatively utilize the expanded core curriculum that camp leaders had set out for the
week. “(The curriculum is) a set of tools that children with vision loss need to have in order to lead successful, independent lives,” explained Eaton, who a d d e d t h a t t h e c u r riculum focuses on several areas: social interaction; transportation; orientation and mobility; recreation; assistive technology; independent living skills; career education; compensatory skills, which comprise reading and writing in different communication modes such as braille and large print; visual efficiency skills; and self-advocacy, such as asking for assistance when needed. All of the activities the campers participated in helped them to develop in these areas. See Camp Cool pg 6
Campers who took part in the VisionCorps of Lancaster Camp Cool from June 17 to 21 experienced horseback riding, along with kayaking, cooking, and a number of other activities that help them work to achieve independence.
Cavod Students To Present “High School Musical Jr.”
Pig Roast Benefit Will Help Build Recovery Center By Ann Mead Ash
By Ann Mead Ash
Long before Cavod’s musical theater camps begin, the students who are participating are cast in a show, receive the script, take part in a read-through, and begin to learn their lines. “On the first day of camp, (students) come with the dialogue memorized, and then we choreograph and polish,” said Cordell Huyard, who oversees the camps for Cavod and is directing Disney’s “High School Musical Jr.,” which will be performed by students taking part in the camp being held from Monday, July 15, through Friday, July 26,
In 2018, TTC/Potter’s House held its annual pig roast at 261 School Lane, Brownstown, located along the Conestoga
River. The purpose in choosing that location was to dedicate the property with plans to build a faith-based rehab facility to combat drug addiction, called Still Waters Recovery Center, on the site. See Pig Roast Benefit pg 2
Campers who make up the cast of the Cavod musical theater camp’s production of “High School Musical Jr.” met for a read-through before camp began. The campers will present the show at Cavod Theatre on July 27 and 28. from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day at Cavod in New Holland. See Cavod Campers pg 7
