Theatrical Spectacular Camp is Almost Here!

July 22, 2015

Less than 2 weeks and we will be greeting the many girls for summer camp 2015.  So far we have almost 60 people registered including girls from 4th grade on through high school and college.  Musical numbers include songs from Beauty and the Beast, Oliver, Lion King, Sound of Music, Yankees, Rent and Annie. Our teen and college “cast members” have been working hard all month preparing to bring a wide variety of games, crafts, music, drama and dance to the “stage” called “Camp Spectacular“.

If you have been wondering whether you should send your child to camp – it’s not too late.  Email us at afterschoolbuddies@gmail.com to find out if we still have space for your child.

Here are comments from a couple of parents of ASBers who have come to love our camp experience!  Hope we get to meet your daughter this summer at camp!

Over the five years my child has gone to After School Buddies Camp, she has had the opportunity to learn, plan, and play with girls of many different ages and backgrounds. It has helped her better understand herself and others. She enjoys it because she renews friendships from past camps and makes new friends.

“As a single father, I am grateful and thankful for the After School Buddies program and summer camp that my daughter has had the privilege to be apart of for the last few years. The encouragement, self-esteem and confidence that has been instilled in her from the adults to the big Buddies is absolutely priceless. Every year my daughter looks forward to the summer camp that is put on for the girls and this year is no exception. I have no doubt the friendships that my daughter has made will be lifelong. I highly recommend this program for any girls regardless of their situation. Char and the staff at ASB are absolutely top notch and I couldn’t be any more pleased.”Camp flowers

Inspire is to be inspired
.. that was the message shared by Elk Meadow’s Big Buddy Breanne as she inspired the Little Buddies to express gratitude to one who inspired them.  From moms, to dads, to teachers, friends and family members – Buddies identified and shared about a key person who helped to shape their lives.
