The magic of Creative Arts Camp landed on my shoulder when Danis called several years ago to ask me about teaching vocal improvisation. "Wow," I said, "what a lovely opportunity. Sure--I’d love to."

After arriving at Camp that first summer, however, I quickly realized this was not just another teaching opportunity, but a truly unique place. Folks were not only flexing new, creative muscles but living Christian Science in the process. Indeed, because the practice of Christian Science is the heart and soul of Creative Arts at Camp, I knew it was something I wanted to be part of.

I can't tell you how much that week meant to me. I know you've heard it from everyone by now, but truly, it was grand. The elevated atmosphere — always natural...the camaraderie...the meals on the deck (and the weather!)...AND — the writing! I made a major breakthrough during my time there, and I'm convinced it was because I gave it all over to Mind — how could I not, what with every morning beginning with testimonies of gratitude, sending us off to our respective venues with nourished hearts?
