ACADEMIC CAMPS
Lona Ann Walter 9 YEARS OLD
I have gone to Hawken Camps for 4 years. I’ve attended the Day Camp, Pottery and Glass Mosaics, Fort Builders, the Leonardo da Vinci Art and Science Camp, plus Hawklings when I was little. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS TYPE OF CAMP? I chose these camps because I really like art and science. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ATTENDING THIS TYPE OF CAMP? It is really fun. You get to make a lot of things and be creative. In Mosaics, which was my favorite activity, I really like figuring out a design and then putting all the glass shapes where they need to go. It’s like solving a puzzle. I learned lots of new art and science activities. WHEN FIRST ATTENDING CAMP, HOW DID YOU OVERCOME ANY CHALLENGES? I was a little nervous at first because I have food allergies, but Hawken is nutfree, so that really helped. The teachers always made sure I was safe, too, which really made me feel good. HOW HAS CAMP HELPED YOU IN OTHER AREAS OF YOUR LIFE? It helped me to be creative and get inspired. DO YOU HAVE ANY SIBLINGS THAT ATTENDED THE SAME CAMP WITH YOU? Yes, my brother Lewi goes to Hawken Camps, too. He really likes the sports stuff. I really like seeing him around so I can give him hugs. He is getting older now, so sometimes he just wants to high five.
