After an incredible two weeks of creativity, collaboration, and community, we are filled with gratitude as we acknowledge the many people and organizations who made this extraordinary experience possible.
Our heartfelt thanks go to UPAC (The Underground Performance and Arts Collective), The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, and Teens With A Purpose, for their invaluable partnership and support.
We are especially grateful to Ellen Selig, Food and Hospitality Coordinator, who kept our bellies full and our hearts happy; The Rev. Genevieve Nelson (aka papier mache princess), Keith Hope, our Chief Puppet Engineer, who kept the giraffes tall and proud, the elephants dancing, and the fish swimming through the air; and Kathy Nolen-Martin, Stage Manager, who kept the camp running smoothly without a single hiccup.
We also extend our sincere appreciation for the funding provided through the Seeds of Hope Grant, awarded by the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia, and to the many volunteers, families, and supporters whose generosity, enthusiasm, and hard work made this experience unforgettable.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
We couldn’t have done it without you.
