so..DPAC this year was even more of an experience than last year. I think mainly because Dan and Chris were there..and it made me realize that our friendships are what these kids at DPAC are creating today. It has been 23 years since Chris, Dan, and Chris J met...and I count them as my nearest and dearest. Seeing the camp thru their eyes was incredible. This year, the classes were really amazing... the teachers incredible. Dan and Chris taught a class on music appreciation, lyric writing and almost a history of music..and it taught the kids so much. Brett taught an incredible Neutral mask class, which actually brought me to tears one day..it was so moving and beautiful. Giving the kids the opportunity to experience emotion without fear...beautiful.
and again..the most wonderful counselors and campers..willing to risk, to experience JOY..to support each other, to learn..to figure out how to talk to their accompianist..and thank them...to work as a team..to grow together... wow.
and then..there was the fact that Dan and Chris's girls..out of all 60 campers...BOTH have a crush on Keri's son. What are the odds? To me..it is more than that..is is that magic that we were able to create all those years ago coming to life again for the next generation...and how amazing will it be for them to have their own stories in the years to come..
The bottom line is this..as I approach the end of my 30's..there has to be more than this. I am convinced that we will do something great in the next few years...it's time.:)
and now....more photos.

How fun. What is this camp? I am dying to know all about it.
Besides all the happy memories I have or DPAC this year, one of the regrets is that I didn't get to attend one of Brett's neutral mask camps, or Dan/Chris' music writing class. My grandsons sang the praises of both.
Did you read Colin's blog? Obviously he has been deeply touched by the whole experience, enough to consider life changes.
Okay. That kind of freaked me out.
Thanks for sharing and making me smile, despite the willies!
