A summer spent intensely artistic

Bryn Pennetti
Arts, Entertainment, and Technology Editor

Immersed 24/7 in a pool of artistic wonderment, I spent eight straight weeks up in New Milford, Connecticut at Buck’s Rock Creative and Performing Arts Camp. This was my fourth summer at the camp. Being a Counselor in Training (CIT), I also kept a job half the day at the painting studio where I worked helping children paint and draw in a variety of medias.

1) Surfed without a wetsuit (think cheese grater)
2) Ate a quart of Del’s frozen lemonade in one sitting
3) Received an order from swell.com. Tanks aren’t only for girls.
4) Made a skim board ramp with plywood and PVC. Ate it hard.
5) Shared a brewski with my Dad at the Chatham Squire

Students work for array of summer jobs

When school is let out for summer break, students are relieved at the low pressure the two months of vacation have to offer. Whether they spend the break sitting by the pool or training for sports, students take advantage of the time to recharge for the upcoming school year. This summer, some students enjoyed filling up their time with a job or volunteer opportunity.

While many students’ summers are filled with time consuming jobs or days at the beach, some privileged teens are jet setting around the world gaining experiences of a lifetime. They took the time to find programs outside of school that allowed them to travel and focus in on their specific interests.
