In the words of our Al-Bustan Campers, July 2008. . .
I liked singing, dancing and acting.
Hadi, grade 3
We worked together as a family who helped each other while we wrote poetry. In school you have to have a specific thought, but Sally [Bonet] taught us to let go and just go with it.
Jude, grade 5
What I liked most about camp was poetry, music and art. You can express yourself in a way that only you can. As an individual, I liked that when you’re doing poetry you can write what your mind is dying to let out.
Adam, grade 5
Teachers are really good! I don’t know what to expect! I want to wake up early every morning.
Saria, grade 4
I liked that in art you could pick anything you wanted! NOT like school! The night before camp I couldn’t sleep because I was so excited!
Hannah, grade 4
I liked how in video we worked as a groiup and evaluated our ideas together, though sometimes we argued.
Xavier, grade 9
In video I liked getting to do things on our own, even if it meant we sometimes made mistakes.
Freda, grade 10
