Happy Spring to all! Camp Shakespeare will be celebrating its 13th year this
summer with Campers taking on A Midsummer Night's Dream and As You Like It. We
think we have two splendid groups. Half of them will be new to the Camp
experience. First time for that. And we are also excited about having five
former Campers serve as staff members: Austen Hyde, Malena Pennycook, Gabe
Colombo, Gus Dexheimer, and Connor Simione. And so we have a lot of good
reasons to be looking forward to a great summer.
But we also have special needs. This year we have more Campers requiring
financial support than ever before. Our fee is only $1000 per Camper, the most
reasonable fee of any two-week camp in the US (most are in the $3000 range) but
it is for some a strain on the family budget. I am asking for your help with
funding scholarships for these kids.
During the last three years, Former Shakespeare at Winedale students have been
a major part of funding Camp Shakespeare, giving an average of $16,023 a year
toward our operating expense. Without that support we could not have made it.
By the way, the proceeds from our special Twelfth Night Gala last year made it
possible to place $20,000 in the Doc Ayres Endowment that Jayne and Rick Suhler
founded. Currently, it has $55,382.52. It is beginning to yield interest. We
may be doing another Gala in 16 to give it another boost.
Thanks for considering this request. I look forward to hearing from you and
seeing you at the Camp Shakespeare performances.
Cheers,
Doc
