SAUGATUCK!
Raoul Iacono, Director
August 10 – 16, 2008
FULL WEEK
Let’s go …
~~~~~~~UNDER THE SEA~~~~~~~~~~
Water, water every where but … that’s right campers, this year at Saugatuck we are going to take you into the briny deep oceans and seas of the world looking for sunken treasurers for our costume ball.
For this nautical theme, campers are encouraged to come attired as a mermaid, Neptune, octopus, Esther Williams, a sailor, Jacques Cousteau, seaweed, a sea horse, Charlie the tuna, Jonathon Livingston Sea Gull, etc.
MORNING GROUPS:
Dance, Sing & Jam: ~~ Janet Chandler and Martha Spohn
Bring your voice, musical instruments and dancing feet to enjoy mornings of music and dance. We will sing, jam with musical instruments, and listen to the great sounds we create. And we will also be dancing - a bit of contra dancing, a bit of folk dancing and circle dances.
This I Believe ~~Kathe Merritt.
We make choices based on our beliefs.
What has influenced them?
Are they cherished?
Are they still helpful?
In this morning group we will share our beliefs and how they relate to our choices around such ideas as love, family, lifestyles, and relationships to others in the world.
Imagination ~~ Jan Wilen. We will create and recreate our past, present and future by allowing our imaginations to run wild. We will use meditation, poetry, prose, music, visual arts, play, spiritual concepts and body movement. Campers are free to bring writing or visual artist materials, pictures, cameras, musical instruments, costumes, toys or whatever to help set the mood.
Requirements: A loving, open mind.
Transitions ~~ Claudette Wassil.
Are you recently divorced or ending a long-term relationship? Changing careers? Moving to a new location? Emptying your nest? Retiring? Contemplating any of these changes? Questioning everything about your life as it was? Then this is the group for you. We will be exploring how to prepare for change, work through change and even turn losing your job or finding out you have a serious illness into a positive outcome.
No Issues, No, Tissues, LET’S PLAY ~~ Heather Pierce.
This group will take you right back to your childhood when the most important part of life was to PLAY. You will laugh, laugh and laugh some more as you rediscover that yes, that hidden child is still within you. If you want a bit of activity with your morning group, this group is for you. Activities will be geared towards the group’s interests and abilities. While you enjoy your morning activities, you will learn and discuss the benefits that play can have on everyone’s lives.
Massage ~~ Larry Gatzmyer.
This class is for beginners and the experienced. Learn to give and receive the wonderful gift of massage. With hectic, stressful lives, this is a great way to relax the body and mind. A variety of strokes and draping techniques are taught in a safe, supportive environment. You might even get to experience of enjoying a mud wrap.
Intermediate Improv ~~ Len Proctor.
We will use fun exercises and interesting games to explore the world of improvisational comedy theater. You'll be engaged and challenged—intellectually, creatively, and emotionally. Learning how to "do" improv is a great way to get in touch with the intuitive, mystical/spiritual side of yourself. Players who have already been introduced to improv and want to develop their performance technique will be given stimulating challenges appropriate to their skill level. Sessions will be VERY informal and the level of the games will be adjusted to meet the comfort and abilities of players.
Additional Groups May Be Added
