Charles and Fine Arts Camp

Charles for the past 2 weeks has been attending the Sitka Fine Arts Camp here. Our kids have had the chance to go to a camp like this in Logan... the Utah State Music Clinic.... But the SFAC is more than just music. The is art, dance, photography, theatre, rock bands, and a whole bunch more.
Charles is SO tired. He is going non- stop from 8am to 5pm and then socializing before, during, and after. Then each evening they have some type of get together from the faculty performing to exhibitions to the past few nights where the students performs and share. Almost 200 kids from all over Alaska as well as many states "down south" (our term for you in the lower-48...Hawaii is just Hawaii).
This was the high school camp. The 2 weeks before was a middle school camp and before that was a 1 week 1/2 day camp for elementary and younger.
Charles did jazz band, rock band, orchestra, and beginning acting improv. His friends were doing ballet, music composition, literature, etc. He has learned so much about playing the bass both in jazz with his string bass and in rock with his electric bass. His poor fingers have bled, blistered and been sore.
Check out the website. They have dorms for those from out of town.
