Here is an invitation to come to June camp and experience the opening camp of our 40th year---and again the setting is the beautiful Presbyterian camp in the Saugatuck dunes. This year we have assembled a great staff to help guide us through -yes, a full week--of merriment, personal growth, with the opportunity to enhance our friendships and create new ones. Our theme "The Wild and Turbulent Years (1965-1974) will give us a wonderful chance to dress in the 60s--early 70s garb (painted faces), celebrate feminism, recall Woodstock, protest, protest and poke fun at the crazy excesses of the CIA. Hey---Watergate made us laugh and shake our heads in bewilderment.


Morning Groups as of now will be:

Raoul - Will be doing massage -veteran leader of massage techniques, This class will be structured for beginners as well as the more experienced campers. We'll mainly touch upon the Swedish and Eselan methods of massage. It's a great way to start your day and makes for a very relaxing vacation.

Barb Kuntz - she combines a digital photography knowledge with her varied experience as a teacher of Art Education. Will be doing, Hiking and Digital Image Capture. It's a daily walk/hike on the beach or through the woods with a digital camera to document significant impressions of the area. Focus is on movement and exercise while capturing impressions of the beautiful wooded area, the beach and sand dunes of Saugatuck.
So, bring your most comfortable walk/run shoes, a digital camera, a theme object and a curiosity
for nature's beauty and join us in this active morning group. We will immerse ourselves in the environment while collaborating on how to capture the best digital images
.

Len Proctor - Improv - master instructor of improvisational skills.
Working as a group we will learn how to create improvised theater through personal experience, using fun games and exercises. You will discover for yourself how to interact spontaneously and authentically by practicing in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. The basic techniques and framework of comedy improvisational theater will be emphasized, along with some attention to acting skills. The goals and interests of the group will govern the direction and intensity of our efforts.
This experience is not only fun; it will give you new perspective on the way you interact with others.

Sharon Spencer
- will be doing 'Exploring Ourselves
'is returning once again after '09's 'rave reviews'

As we grow older, it is interesting to explore where we have come from, where we are and where we want to go (what do you want when you grow up). We will employ a variety of techniques to look at ourselves and share with each other. They may include guide imagery, exercise from 'The Artist's Way,' NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), my past group experiences, etc.


Sharon Spencer has been in over 85 camp groups and has lead several of them. She is a NLP Master Practioner and a Montessori Directoress.
