Camp
August 8- 14 ,2010
Have you always wanted to be a
Star?!? Are you already a Star, at least
in your own mind? Then Saugatuck in
August is where you need to be! Come
join us for a week in lovely “Saugywood.”
Yes, first there was Hollywood,
then Bollywood, but nothing compares to Saugywood for a non-stop good time. Premiere that audacious new
outfit at the movie premiere. Prepare
that acceptance speech for a night at the “Opals” (aka – camp show) and look
for a nomination in your future. Enjoy
“shooting on location” at the beach (campfire) and audition for a part at open
auditions (coffeehouse). Or you can
always try to win the part the old fashioned way on the casting couch at
Shirley’s (hospitality), where there will be the usual array of fine snack
foods to help you spoil your diet and ruin your figure. We have an enthusiastic staff of
veterans, and a couple of new recruits, ready to make your week memorable. Call or email Director and Camp Registrar
Dave Lever (dclever@owu.edu; 740-363-4630),
or Central Registrar Sharon Spencer (ssamuuse@aol.com;
847-816-3356) for more information. Or
just click on the tab and print out a registration form. Go ahead, jump in with both feet! We’ll add your star to the walk of fame on
Saugywood Boulevard
Morning groups will include Yoga
with Sally Schreiber, Sonic Play with Fran Drake, Life Tapestries with Gwen
Valore, Massage with Susan Breen, Where Do We Go From Here with Nancy James, Second
Chances with Mary Repass, and Playgroup 2010 with Heather Pierce. An additional group may be added as
enrollment numbers increase. Hope you can join us at
camp. It’s a great place to be single!
Where Do We Go From Here? – Nancy James
Let’s face it. We’re all here for the fame and fortune. Whether there is Oscar buzz about your most recent movie or your last gig was on Celebrity Fit Club; change is the name of the game. This group will discuss where we see ourselves currently, in which directions we would like to go, and strategies to accomplish this.
· Nancy has led numerous personal growth morning groups and was the June, 2009 camp director for “OZ”.
Yoga – Sally Schreiber
Come renew and rejuvenate your body in this yoga morning workshop. Each day we’ll stretch our minds and bodies by doing some basic yoga, meditation and energy work. This is the place to de-stress your body and become energized. Please wear loose clothing and bring a blanket or cushion. We’ll be sitting on the floor for many of our activities.
· Sally has led yoga morning groups at June camp in Grailville in 2004 and at Saugatuck in 2008.
Screen writers’ anonymous or Let’s get it write – Gwen Valore
This group is the perfect place for you to expand your creative
talents…or to discover them! If you are a blocked writer, a wanna-be
writer, or just an ordinary person who’d like to start writing, and want
to enjoy the natural environment of camp, this group could meet your
needs. We will walk to the woods, meadow, and beach for inspiration. We
will also do some quick write topics and some poetry play. Bring your
favorite writing utensil and we’ll create this week.
· Gwen has led a number of morning groups, including this one in June, 2003. She is currently AMUUSE President.
Sonic Play – Fran Drake
No Auditions will be held. No Talent is required. Simply come and join me,
in the creation of a musical and spiritual journey...sometimes stepping outside
of ourselves and sometimes retreating inward. We will be using breath, voice,
intention, all manner of percussion instruments and a few drums. Each day of
our journey together will have a different focus.No Oscars will be awarded
for your performance.
· Fran has been drumming in monthly drum circles since 2003 and has led morning groups at the Lake Geneva camp in July 2006 and at the Yellow Springs reunion in 2008, both focused on rhythm and sound.
Second Chances – Mary Repass
Second Chances--as we look back on our lives we think about the chances we've been given in almost every aspect of our life: some taken, some missed. In this group we will look back to those times, and then look forward to the second chances still to come.
· Mary is a long time AMUUSE camper who will be leading her first morning group this summer.
Massage – Susan Breen
To those who know and appreciate the benefits of massage (physical, mental and spiritual) – and to those who are unfamiliar – this morning group offers an opportunity to experience the positive effects of both giving and receiving safe ‘touch’. In a peaceful and supportive environment, you will learn some basic techniques of relaxation massage as well as proper draping. Please bring 2 twin-size flat sheets and a bath or beach towel. If you have a particular oil, lotion or cream that you prefer, bring that, too.
· Susan is a licensed massage therapist and led her first morning group at the August, 2009 camp.
PlayGroup 2010 – Heather Pierce
This
group will take you back to the days of your youth when your favorite part of
every school day was recess. We'll use each
morning to gather together and rediscover the sense of joy, rejuvenation, and friendship
that occurs when you put a little play back into your life. Activities will vary depending on the group's
interests and abilities. We'll be
outside each day so come to camp equipped with your gym shoes, sandals, swimsuits,
rain poncho (just in case), sunscreen, hats, and a great big sense of fun. ·
Heather
has led several infamous play groups at past camps. Exercising Digital Photography - Barbara Kuntz
Come join this active morning group on daily walk/hikes on the beach and through the woods. With a digital camera in hand, we will capture the rich photographic opportunities that reveal themselves. The focus will be on active movement and/or hiking the beautiful surroundings of Saugatuck. Documenting the digital journey may prove to open your eyes to unexpected adventures.
http://amuusecamp.blogspot.com/So, bring a digital camera, a theme object, your most comfortable walking shoes, a water container (it can be hot in August), sunscreen, a curiosity for nature's beauty and join us in this active morning group. We will immerse ourselves in the environment while building a community of photographers (or paparazzi at Saugywood). See you there!
