Theatre Fun with Connelly Enterprises This summer Connelly Enterprises (founded

by Daniel Connelly) will host its 8th year of theatrical/drama summer camps for kids.

Daniel grew up loving the stage and spent a lot of time performing and working behind the scenes with CYT (Christian Youth Theater) North Idaho. As he grew through the program, he discovered his love of directing and his passion for helping young people discover the thrill and power of the performing arts. “I teach my students that there are 6 main things a good performer needs to develop: the ability to speak loud, slow, and clear, and to be brave, bold, and confident.

These skills can be applied to almost every area of the kids' lives.

I love seeing campers who are scared to even speak in front of others learn to set aside the fear and anxiety of worrying what others think, and instead, just have fun and live life to the fullest”. Daniel has 5 kids of his own and loves being able to have his 3 oldest be a part of the camps that create lifelong memories.

Each camp runs Monday - Friday from 10am to 2pm. It starts with a Theater 101 workshop, and the kids getting coached through the audition process. Before the day is done, they receive a script and start memorizing right away. On Days 2, 3, and 4 the kids are learning their lines, blocking, songs, and choreography. Lots of games and activities happen in between work time to keep the week one of the best the kids have ever had. On the last day of the camp, the actors have a dress rehearsal on the stage with costumes, lights, and microphones all in preparation for the audience to see the show at 2pm. “I love the teamwork that all the campers learn and the comradery that grows from completing the challenging task of putting together a whole show in just one short week.”

The shows are FREE and open to the public to enjoy. Many of the children attend the camps on sponsorships provided by the community. If you would like to sponsor a child to attend, request information from Daniel by emailing (dconnellyenterprises@gmail.com).

Sammy’s Clubhouse & Ferret Rescue

Our mission statement: Providing information for present and future ferret owners and homes for unwanted ferrets. We are a small home-based no-kill shelter.

We are considered a no-kill shelter as we do not put to sleep current residents to make room for more. We cannot save them all but for those that are terminal, we are able to provide a loving, safe, pain-free last days.

We welcome visitors just wanting to know more about these funny little creatures. Along with the ferrets we also have several different cage styles in our ferret room so that you can see what may work right for you. If we can just teach you how to find the right ferret and their proper care, that is one less ferret that has to end up in a rescue/ shelter situation.

If you would like to become part of our rescue network, just let us know. We can discuss possible foster homes and other ideas to help with our group.

We are a nonprofit dedicated to the education of prospective owners and We are currently located in Spokane current owners of ferrets. We also rescue Valley WA, but assist ferret owners and work to rehabilitate behavioral and anywhere in the Inland Northwest. sick ferrets along with finding homes for (509) 599-3327 unwanted or "kicked out of their homes" info@sammysclubhouse.org ferrets. www.facebook.com/SammysClubhouse
