Fall School & Library Tour Schedule Set
Halfway through the summer and Dawn and I are having more fun than ever. One of the highlights has been working with groups of tweens and teen developing circus skills through workshops, camps, and Skill Toy Programs. Last week we ran 2 camps at Cary Academy here in North Carolina. We enjoy having the opportunity to watch the campers transform throughout the week - a shy child becomes more comfortable in front of peers and an awkward, clumsy child becomes more sure-footed and confident. We love when a parent comments that his or her child comes home each day excited to share the new skills learned in camp.
We are not surprised when we see teens and tweens skipping to our programs. We do it too.
Playfully yours,
Paul
