Fine art fun at Rabbit Run

It’s not too soon to think about plans for kids for the summer. Youth of all ages have tons of fun discovering hidden talents in many different fine arts camps available at Rabbit Run Community Arts Association (RRCAA) in Madison. Youth Art Camp is for anyone who likes to be creative and maybe make a mess in the process. In these one-week camps, campers, ages seven to 16, get elbow deep in paint, clay, and other mediums as they create original two- and threedimensional works of art.

Art Camps meets Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon. Preschool Art Camp meets Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Specific camp dates to be announced.

Pop Star Camp gets youth ages five through 10 up and moving as they learn to sing and dance like their favorite pop star. This one-week day camp is from 9:30 a.m. to noon typically in June. Campers delve into all areas of the theater arts including drama, music, dance, costumes, makeup, and stage craft in both Junior Theater Camp for ages four through eight and Explorer’s Theater Camp for ages eight through 15. Campers also participate in arts and crafts and age-appropriate games. At the end of each theater camp, actors share their talents with parents in an end-of-week program.

Explorer’s Camp is for those who are new to theater and are looking for a great introduction to the world of drama. The camp meets from 1 to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Just for Juniors Camp runs from 9 a.m. to noon. Just for Juniors is a one-week camp introducing young children to the world of theater through song, dance, and lots of imagination. Specific dates for all camps to be announced. For more information, call RRCAA at 440-4285913 or visit www.rabbitrun.org .

Ho Mita Koda! That’s Sioux for “Welcome my friend!” Founded in 1929 by Dr. Henry and Betty John, pioneers in the use of insulin to treat diabetes, Camp Ho Mita Koda stands as the oldest and longest running summer camp for Type 1 Diabetes in the U.S. Located on 72 beautiful wooded acres in Newbury, OH (25 miles east of Cleveland), Camp Ho Mita Koda is home to 400 children each summer and over 30 unique activities and programs. Campers learn lifelong diabetes management skills in a fun, interactive, and age-appropriate setting. Our lifestyle enhancing programs empower campers to manage their diabetes, make healthy choices, take personal responsibility, and build self-esteem, friendships, and a life-long support network. Around-the-clock supervision is provided by experienced, licensed physicians and nurses from northeast Ohio’s top-ranked medical institutions; trained counselors - many of whom have diabetes and are camp alumni; registered dietitians attending to menus and camper nutrition needs; program specialists at each camp activity; certified lifeguards; and a Camp Director in charge of all camp operations. Minimum staff to camper ratio is 1 to 5.

Surrounded by friends and a worldclass staff, every camper learns to ‘stretch’…spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. Selfassured in these new skills, campers come away with a strong foundation for living their best life, increased capabilities and newfound independence in managing their own personal T1D journey.
