Dan and Teresa Lofy, Owners And Watson Sign up now for CROW’s 2021 Summer Camps Now is the time for fami- lies to sign up their kids for CROW’s (Children’s Reper- tory of Oregon Workshops) exciting 2021 Summer Camp sessions. CROW’s first one-week camp is entitled “Game-A- Palooza” and will take place July 12 to 16 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This will be a camp for ages 7 to 10. The sec- ond one-week camp is also called “Game-A-Palooza” and will take place July 19 to 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This camp is for ages 11+. Both sessions will be taught by CROW Artistic Director Melanie Heard, and the cost is $125, which includes a T-shirt. According to Heard, “We are focusing on F-U-N! Through a combination of socially distanced improv and traditional-style camp games, hands-on crafts, and mini discussions on the ex- citing world of theatre arts, students will be immersed in a plethora of creativity and laughter.” Also offered is CROW’s Invitation or Audition Only- Advanced Acting Program, which will be Aug. 2 to 13. The cost for this two-week camp is $250, and includes a T-shirt. “This year’s Advanced Acting program will focus on the historical and cultur- al significance of traveling performers: troubadours, minstrels, carnivals, circus- es, street artists and more,” Heard said. “During camp, students will work to create an outdoor show that will be performed at various safe locations in Florence for small, socially distanced audiences.
