Final Stretch
DEAN CORNER
Sally McKellip
SIG Site Director
We are well into the last week of camp and can hardly believe how fast the time has passed! This week is the most intense week of the program. The students are working on their final projects for their courses, those in the Theater Program are rehearsing for their performances Thursday evening, and of course there will be a lot of emotion spent on Friday, what with last day of classes, the Closing Ceremony, and the final dance! You would think that the students would look tired, but in fact we can see a jolt in their energy as they are aware of how quickly the end of this fantastically successful program is coming!
