SUMMER ART CAMPS 2023:

Unfortunately, summer camps for 2023 are cancelled.

In late January 2023 I found out I was in acute liver failure. Completely unexpected and as a team of liver doctors at two hospitals said, “completely unexplained.” I was, I thought, healthy as a horse but just super unlucky.
After 6 weeks in the hospital, my name went on the transplant list and with my health failing, I was pushed to the top.
I received my new liver on February 28th. I am PROFOUNDLY GRATEFUL to the donor and donor’s family for their decision to donate an organ. I wouldn’t be here today, if they had not. Again, many thanks from both myself and my family.

So, because of my recent transplant, I need to limit contact and strain on my body while it adjusts to my new organ. I had to make the hard decision to not hold camps this year. It is not just the camp time I put in but all the prep to ready my space and prepare some “"oh so awesome” projects for my campers. I would feel badly if their experience was sub par.

See you next summer campers!
