Local Kids Learn about the Arts at Project Vacation


Sussex County children learned all about dance, music, fine arts and visual arts at the “Project Vacation: Exploring the Arts” summer camp held recently at Project Self-Sufficiency.   Local professionals volunteered their time to teach children about photography, dance, and pottery, while teen volunteers supervised art projects and shepherded the children between activities.  A final performance from the group highlighted their knowledge of dance and other theatrical arts.

“This camp would not have been possible without the extraordinary efforts of Program Coordinator Stephanie Sumpman and numerous volunteers,” noted Deborah Berry-Toon, Executive Director of Project Self-Sufficiency.  Volunteers included artists Colleen Duffy and Kasey Kornak, photographer Rob Yaskovic, vocal music teacher Helen Evans, instrumental music teacher Rick Rentler, harpist Katie Pachnos, and dance teachers from the Dance Expression Dance Arts studio.  Teen volunteers included Tim Allocca, Andrew Alsot, Liz Alsot, Catharine Berry-Toon, Nick Esposito, Ruby Esposito, Victoria Kunesch, Brian Jefferson, Emily Jefferson, Elsie Lee, Carly Leifken, Katie O’Brien, Laura Pachnos, Heili Pallan, Hans Pallan, and Spencer Sumpman.
