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, taking place July 12
to 16, is now full.
The second one-week
camp is 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
10+.
Both sessions will be
taught by CROW Artistic
Director Melanie Heard,
and the cost is $125, which
includes a T-shirt.
According to Heard,
“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. Character de-
velopment, comic timing,
physicality and other vital
performance skills will be
the camp’s primary focus.”
In addition to summer
camps, CROW will offer a
small selection of classes,
which will be held weekday
afternoons after the camps.
Dates and times can be
found on the “Classes” tab
at crowkids.com. Offerings
will include Jazz/Hip-Hop
Combo, Beginning Youth
Tap, Beginning Irish Dance,
Adult/Teen Tap and even an
Adult Acting class series.
Limited financial-need
based scholarships are avail-
able for classes and camps.
The summer camp en-
rollment, afternoon class
enrollment, and scholar-
ships application deadline is
June 5th.
Parents should be careful
to read the terms of enroll-
ment carefully and must
submit a deposit or their
child’s space is not guaran-
teed.
All programming will
be held at the CROW Cen-
COVID is going to be hard
on so many families. Our
sponsors truly make a big
difference, and provide
valuable funds that directly
impact local children in the
arts,” Heard said. “Thank

portant request.”

cle “FURA approves pro-
posed budget for 2021-23
biennium” stated Chair-

Webb was instead named

The FURA Budget Com-
mittee heard the presenta-
tions and did approve the
proposed budget as pre-
sented. It will now be for-
