How has it been 2 weeks since we wrapped up SLYC Summer Camp?! It was a whirlwind week full of making music, forging new friendships, building leadership and confidence, SLYC Olympics, SLYC Gives Back, and #getSLYC.
Thank you!!!
On behalf of Mrs. L, Mr. Jacobs, and myself, I want to share our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the experiences we had during the camp week. The responses we’ve received have been tremendous, and the momentum we’ve gained is inspiring.
To our students, you are the heartbeat of our camp. Your enthusiasm, energy, and willingness to learn have been truly inspiring. We witnessed your growth and development throughout the camp, and it fills us with pride to see the remarkable individuals you are becoming. Your passion for learning and your commitment to excellence are qualities that will undoubtedly lead you to achieve great things in the future.
To the parents, your trust in us and your unwavering encouragement of your children's participation have been instrumental in the success of this camp. Your support and involvement have created a nurturing environment that allowed our students to thrive and make the most of their time here. We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with you in shaping the future of these bright young minds.
To our generous donors, your contributions have made all the difference. Your belief in the power of education and the arts has made it possible for us to provide an enriching and comprehensive experience for our campers. Your investment in their potential will continue to reverberate through their lives, enabling them to reach new heights and create a positive impact in their communities. We want to share a special thanks to the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, which supported, in part, this project.
And to all those who attended our concert, your presence added an extra layer of joy and celebration to the camp. Your applause and encouragement resonated with our students, reminding them of the importance of their hard work and dedication. Your engagement with their performances served as a testament to the transformative journey they undertook during the camp.
As we reflect on the memories created, the lessons learned, and the connections forged, we are reminded of the immense power of collaboration and community. The SLYC Summer Camp is not just an event; it's a manifestation of shared values, aspirations, and dreams. We are committed to nurture this spirit as we enter into our concert season, and to continue year after year, ensuring that our organization is a platform for growth, learning, and creativity.
With heartfelt appreciation,
