Jill Crossing: Arts For Youth

Bridgewater State College Multi-Arts Camp

Looking back at...Puppetry Class, Session 2, 2008

Hi Everyone!

This summer I am working at Arts for Youth,

a day camp run by Bridgewater
State College that lasts for 6 weeks. This will be my

4th summer working there and my
3rd year lead teaching. This summer I will be lead

teaching the puppetry class as well
as the creative computing class. In addition,

I will be leading various workshops in
drama, visual arts, and music. I will also be

assisting in scrapbooking! Here are a few

highlights from the many fun times
at Arts for Youth!

Here is a snapshot of 1st Session's

scrapbooking class 2009.

It is Arts Fest day, so we are all wearing

our Arts For Youth T-shirts.

Leah was the lead teacher of this class this

year and she did a fabulous job!

Below, you can see the bulliten board that I created for my 2nd period computer class "Creative Computing: Creative Columns". In this class, the campers write articles that create a new newsletter for the whole camp to recieve each day. There were about 15 campers in the class. (2009)

Here, you can see a class picture of my 1st period puppetry class on Wacky Wednesday during Session 1. This was a large class of 16 campers. We are standing in front of our ocean scenary for our puppetry performance "Fishy Swimming Free". They were a great group! (2009)

Below is an image of puppeteers from my session 2 puppetry class. They have created spoon puppets as well as a home or store for each them. Then, they created mini-performaces to share with each other. Also, a great group I loved teaching! (2009)

I worked with so many great people over the last 4 years at Arts for Youth! Here is a snapshot of some of my fellow teachers and some interns too! (2009)
