WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
"My name is Kate Hilgenberg and my son Bennett just had his last day
of Drama
Camp run by Jessica Genick. To say he loved the week experience
would be an
understatement...but the amount of emoticons I would have to use to
express
how he has been talking about it would probably make me lose all credibility, so
lets stick with LOVE! read more
I met Jessica at a camp fair I attended to look into options for my 4
year old
son for the summer. As I made my way through tables and tables of
sports and
outdoors camp and I was curious as to what a theatre could offer as a
camp..especially for a four year old boy who thinks that soccer and
Darth
Vader sum up all that is good in life. Jessica, charming and energetic as always,
spoke to me about all the activities and skills that Bennett would be
exposed
to at camp. I was sold, but I had one issue...Bennett was shy. Shy to the point
where he won't even stand facing a person he doesn't know sometimes.
Jessica
convinced me that a shy boy would be no problem for her and I
believed her. I
signed him up and held my breath.
Jessica was right! My husband did the first drop off and he said
after 15
seconds of hiding in his coat he ran into the classroom and joined
the other
kids on the rug happily. When we picked him up he was excited,
smiling and
couldn't wait to tell me everything that he had done. He couldn't
wait for
the next day and double check with me that I had signed him up for the WHOLE week.
Every day when I received Jessica's wonderful and detailed outlines
of the day
Bennett and I would read it together and he would be very proud to
show off
all he had learned. And no one in the audience today would have guessed that
Bennett was shy!
You will definitely be seeing Bennett again over the summer and I
have already
started spreading the word about this wonderful program you have. So
thank
you for having such a unique and educational program available for such young but
capable children.
But most of all, thank you for Jessica! She really made the
whole experience special for Bennett and myself, from meeting her at
the camp
fair until this final performance.
Kate Hilgenberg"
