In a stunning burst of creativity, camper Jeff found himself in the crafts barn project making memory sticks. Counselor Lawrence introduced Jeff to the use of metaphors to symbolize his feelings towards his friends and family. His use of the heavily splattered red paint all over the headless dolls contrasted beautifully with the tightly wrapped cords binding them all to the road flare that looked amazingly close to a stick of dynamite. Lawrence even said that Jeff was working on poetry while making his composition. All he could hear was ramblings like K. I. L. Kill my teacher. He had incredible likenesses of all his art teachers with excruciating expressions of pain except for one which could not be recognized but holding a brush. She was portrayed like a goddess, floating above all the other figures. She was covered in roses and little hearts surrounded her head like a wreath. Were not sure what it symbolized but we knew that when Jeff was ready and stopped crying, he would probably tell us.
This afternoon, campers will get introduced to this years play. We had to make some adjustments to the original script since we only have one camper/actor. Rehearsals for the Pirate of Penzance will begin tonight.
