he sights andsounds of springfor the 40th yearherald one of thetop events in theSoutheast’s top 20–the SummervilleY’s FlowertownFestival.

Summerville --also known as Flowertown in the Pines --blooms with excitement when vendors beginto arrive from locations across the country,and set up their booths as they get ready forthe tens of thousands of visitors to check outthe wares and works. More than 200 juriedartists are featured in this year’s festival.From furniture and jewelry designers topainters and sculptors, there truly is some-thing for every festival-goer.

For three days beginning April 1, visitorswill browse through not only artists but com-munity service booths, local business booths,children’s events and of course, food vendorsfrom the Lowcountry’s most popular restau-rants. Logan’s Roadhouse is once again the

title sponsor of the Taste of Summervilleevent.

This special section of The Journal Scene isa guide to the Flowertown Festival, withmaps, profiles of first time and veteran artistsand artisans, a listing of vendors organizedaccording to category and their booth num-bers.

This section also features photos and a guideto some of the more visible flowers that willbe blooming during this year’s FlowertownFestival.

The section includes Festival menus fromrestaurants featured in the Taste ofSummerville. The guide also lists how many$1 tickets each “taste” requires.

The Flowertown Festival – presented againthis year by title sponsor Time Warner Cable– is the signature event and fundraiser for theY. The money raised during the festivalallows the organization to provide scholar-ships for children and families and to main-tain the three campuses in fast-growingSummerville. Program scholarships coverafter-school care, aquatics, summer camp,gymnastics and youth sports for those whocannot afford the cost. The programs are even

ach year theF l o w e r t o w nFestival Rungives people anopportunity totest their stamina,promote goodhealth and get in afestive mood.

Started years ago by Dr. Bob Randall andDoug McElveen, the event has grown tobecome a signature fundraiser for theSummerville YMCA and the kick-off eventfor the festival.

Held a week prior to other events, it fea-tures a 5K run, 10K run and one-mile funrun.

“One of the best things about this race is itshometown atmosphere,” said Kendal Shows,who helps the Y with many of its running-related activities. “Participants work theirway through scenic and historic streets andit’s just a fun course to run.”

More than 1,100 runners and walkers partic-

ipated in 2011, but Shows says the event has-n’t lost its quaintness.

“It’s not as big as events like the BridgeRun,” he said. “There aren’t so many peoplethat you can’t run your own race and newrunners don’t have to worry about feelingoverwhelmed like they might in a race with40,000 participants.”

The course is relatively fast and appeals toboth local runners and those from other areasso the field is usually very competitive.Many runners like to use it as a tune up forthe Cooper River Bridge Run that is held thefirst week of April.

However, each year hundreds of partici-pants come out not to compete, but simply toenjoy a nice run or walk in Summerville’straditionally mild March weather.

Awards are given in several age divisions.High school runners in the 5K and 10Kevents are eligible to win a free laptop com-puter, courtesy of McElveen Pontiac BuickJeep Hummer.

Registration for the event typically opens inearly March through the Y’s website,www.summervilleymca.org. Race day regis-tration is available on site prior to the first

race.For additional information about the

YMCA or the Flowertown FestivalRun/Walk, contact Liz Graham at 871-9622,

New York and then went toart college.

“Ever since I was a kid it’sall I wanted to do. It’s a pas-sion. Even if I was to neversell a painting, I would stillpaint.”

Wiley has lived inSummerville for six yearsand was a member of ArtCentral until recentlybecause she is soon movingto Westminster, nearClemson. Wiley will still bein town for the festival and islooking for galleries inGreenville and Seneca todisplay her work.

“I paint entirely on oil.They take time to dry. I canwork on up to 20 paintings ata time. It keeps your eyesfresh.

“I want to paint my inter-pretation of what I’ve expe-rienced onto canvas.”

Wiley sometimes refers to

photos and combines ele-ments of more than onephoto. “I will change thelight and time of day tomake it more interesting.”

She said composition islike composing music to cre-ate unity and make all theparts work together in har-mony so nothing looks outof place.

“Compositions are themost important things youneed to work out beforebeginning a painting.”

Wiley looks at her photosand sketches and makesthumbnail sketches to placethe focal point on a canvas.

“You want movement.Your eye follows theseleaves around,” she sayspointing at the original“White Water Lily” in herhome studio. To create depthshe adds shadows and sub-merges some of the lily pads.“You repeat colors andshapes and add variety.”

iane Frankenberger loves drawing, mak-ing quilts and living in the heart of down-town Summerville. She recently drew acolorful poster containing things she lovesabout Summerville to promote theFlowertown Festival.

“It’s a happy picture,” Frankenbergersaid. “I just drew what I wanted to.There’s no perspective.”

The whimsical drawing depicts a turtle, a school bus, the Peruviansingers that perform at the festival each year, a police officer, a train,Guerin’s Pharmacy, colorful flowers, children playing, St. Paul’sChurch, a clothesline with a quilt and other facets of small town life.

“My first love is art. I just love to draw. I’ve always drawn.”Frankenberger moved to Summerville before the first Flowertown

Festival, which she said started very simply.She calls herself a folk artist with no formal training. Her wildly col-

orful quilts and drawings tell stories. She also makes scarves.Before moving to Summerville, Frankenberger lived in California,

where she got tips from her landlord about makingquilts. She’s been making her own ever since.

“I just love to draw and love to make up things.It’s a gift and I’m grateful for it.”

Frankenberger opened People, Places and Quiltsat 129 W. Richardson Ave. 21 years ago in a build-ing that once was a hardware store. The woodeninterior feels rustic with decorations like the hand-ful of sewing machines, quilt displays, quilting sup-plies and books.

“I had a vision for this when I moved here in the‘60s. And it came to pass.”

Since then Frankenberger has opened anotherPeople, Places and Quilts at 1 Henrietta Street inCharleston.

“Quilt Sampler” magazine named People, Placesand Quilts one of the top 10 quilt shops in NorthAmerica in its Aug. 29, 2000 edition.

irginia Watson’sbrightly attiredGullah dolls areher way of usingher inner artisticspark to celebrateher Gullah her-itage.

Watson, whoseGullah name is

Genya, was born and raised in Charleston.Her mother, Elizabeth Stokes, is a sweet-grass basket weaver who learned the craftfrom her mother some 50 years ago.

Watson always watched her mother atwork, but she never got into the traditionalcraft. Instead, she was a seamstress for 30years and found herself creating through

sewing. Then, about three years ago, she was

inspired by God to begin creating thesedolls, she said.

It took watching her mother making bas-kets and the encouragement of PastorThomas Riley of World OvercomersMinistry, who teaches people to search with-in themselves for the creativity God hasgiven them, to begin, she said.

“It was there all the time,” she said. Watson said creating the dolls is an instinc-

tive artistic process. When she looks formaterials to create the dolls she automatical-ly knows what she’s looking for, she said.

The results are one-of-a-kind, she said. Watson sells her dolls at a variety of

Lowcountry venues, including MiddletonPlace and the Waterfront Park in Mt.Pleasant. This will be her first year at theFlowertown Festival.

Soap maker returns to festival


oapmaker JamieEstes of ThistleRidge Soap isreturning to theF l o w e r t o w nFestival, butshe’ll be travelinga little farther to

get here this year. Estes moved her business from Wahalla, in

the Upstate, to Abingdon, Va., this year afterher husband was transferred with his job.

The move delayed some of the creativeaspects of her business – usually she intro-duces a new fragrance early in the year – butshe’ll be arriving at the festival with all thefavorites that customers expect from her.

She offers 30 varieties of hand-made, cold-processed soap. Among the most popular arethe lavender bar and root scrub. She’ll also

bring shaving bars for men and scrubby barsfor mechanics and others whose hands getdirty at work.

Estes started making soap in 1999 after see-ing someone else doing it and becoming fas-cinated by the process.

The family had just moved to SouthCarolina and Estes, usually busy with a part-time job, her children and volunteer activi-ties, was bored with nothing to do.

She loved the creativity involved in devel-oping her own recipes by experimenting withdifferent oils.

Pretty soon the couple was stepping overcuring soap bars as they got out of bed, and“we decided I’d better see if anybody elseliked them.” A business was born.

Estes said she enjoys attending theFlowertown Festival each year because “it’sa really fun festival.”

She looks forward to visiting with everyoneand invites visitors to stop by the booth andsmell the soaps.

nyone who thinks simple is passe need only stop by the farm.Kerry Dortch’s Puppet Farm, that is.Dortch, the man behind the magic of “The Puppet Farm: Raising

Puppets since 1985,” has become a much anticipated favorite forkids of all ages at festivals all over the country.

Dortch, who hails from Ila, Georgia, has been making and sellinghis puppets for many years but what he does goes far beyond mere-ly displaying his wares. He used to set them up on a table and justshow them to passers-by; he now has the Puppet Farm where theyall live in all their furry, fuzzy glory, waiting to be adopted by just

the right family. Apparently, there are a lot of good families looking for just the right fuzzy addition; Dortch

manages to find thousands of them new homes every year.He calls what he does a demonstration rather than a puppet show – it’s a session during which

he shows the children how the puppets work – but it lasts some three and a half minutes, andhas a beginning, middle, and end.

And the end of the show is always highlighted by the delighted faces of the children whostopped by.

But one does not have to take the newspaper’s – or anyone else’s -- word for that. Just listento the children giggle, watch them laugh and smile, as Dortch introduces them to his friends.

Chances are, your inner kid will be smiling, too.

Puppet maker a perennialfavorite for kids of all ages

arina Cantlon was born and raised in Italy, but when shemoved to the Lowcountry in 1997, she found home.

She fell in love with the region and was especially fas-cinated by the Gullah culture. She had a slight familiar-ity with the Gullah because of her background in cultur-al anthropology and linguistics.

Upon meeting a Gullah neighbor, however, she real-ized she couldn’t understand a word the woman said.The two communicated with sign language. Cantlon

was fascinated by the Gullah culture and began researching all aspects, includingthe language, stories and cuisine.

Cantlon was already an artist. She was well-known for her Santa characters,sculptures from 10 inches high to more than three feet tall that represent SantaClaus from a variety of cultures, primarily European.

The Gullah gave her new inspiration, and she began creating Gullah characters,sculptures about 18 inches tall.

She also began to paint, creating scenes of the Gullah at work and at play. Hercards, which show such Lowcountry scenes as shrimping, making sweet grass bas-kets and a shopper on King Street, include either background information or aLowcountry recipe on the back.

This will be Cantlon’s first year at the Flowertown Festival, although she has soldher work at the farmer’s market at Marion Square in Charleston, plantation giftshops and the South Carolina State Museum, she said.

return once again to serve up some of theirtop signature dishes.

But there are a couple of new kids on theblock joining this year’s Taste entourage,too. One much anticipated newcomer, bothfor the festival and for Summerville, is Jo-G’s Seafood Bar and Grill. Located onMiles Road near Trolley Road, Jo-Gs hasbeen open since October 2010, and spe-cializes in pastas, steaks, and of courseseafood -- all at a very good price, notedowner Joe Spiotta. Jo-G’s will be bringingseveral signature dishes -- very likely var-ious treats such as fried shrimp, crabcakes, she crab soup, and scallops -- to theTaste of Summerville.

“This is our first time in the festival andwe’re very excited to be a part of it thisyear,” owner Joe Spiotta said. “We’relooking forward to it and I think peoplewill really enjoy what we have to offer.”

Then there’s a new vendor, whose identi-ty has been a closely guarded secret – butwho festival sponsors are sure will be abig hit – who is going to take over theopening left by the Kiwanis, who sadlyhad to make the wrenching decision not to

run the hamburger and hotdog stand thisyear.

The best part? Everyone wins. Festival-goers can stroll booth to booth sampling awide variety of delectable items fromsome of Flowertown’s finest eateries. The

restaurants get to truly strut their stuffbefore a huge audience.

And of course, all proceeds go to theYMCA, which ultimately benefits the com-munity.

The taste is open in the middle of the fes-

tival from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Friday andSaturday and from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.Sunday. Tickets are $1 each and areredeemable at all restaurant booths. Allfood items are $1 to $3. Two kiosks willbe selling tickets for this area.

A Kiwanis Club member grills the taste into a legendary Kiwanis burger.

Kiwanis ends festival run after 30 yearsBY STEFAN ROGENMOSERThe Journal Scene

u m m e r v i l l e ’ sKiwanis Club willnot have a ham-burger andsausage stand atthis year’sF l o w e r t o w nFestival for thefirst time in

roughly 30 years.Summerville Kiwanis President Bill Sloan

said the club wasn’t raising the funds theyneeded to be as benevolent as they want to be.

“It was a very painful decision to make,”Sloan said. “The competition of food at thefestival has cut into the profit margin.”

The Kiwanis stand has been a part of the fes-tival for about thirty years, Sloan said, addingthat the Summerville Kiwanis Club started in1979.

Kiwanis will instead raise funds through a

golf tournament at Miler Country Club onMay 23, Sloan said.

“We want the golf tournament to be moresuccessful than the burger stand,” he said.

Kiwanis raises funds for the benevolence ofchildren, according to Sloan.

“The Terrific Kids program is the biggestthing we do. Our club is devoted toDorchester District 2 schools.”

Every month the club goes to schools togive awards for students showing the mostimprovement.

“It’s just positive reinforcement. Whetherwe’re adults or children, we need positivereinforcement.”

Sloan said the Key Club at SummervilleHigh School is the high school version ofKiwanis. Each June and July Kiwanis givesas much scholarship money to students asthey can, Sloan said.

The hamburger stand, which was located atWest 5th South Street near the CuthbertCommunity Center, was a major part of thefestival. About 20 people grilled food at onetime.

For many years the late Jack Wilbanks, aKiwanis member and former TownAdministrator, would be about 20 feet up atree in a deer hunting stand. With a wirelessmicrophone Wilbanks would talk passers-byinto buying hamburgers and internationalsausages, according to former Town PlannerJoe Christie, who worked for Wilbanks atTown Hall from 1984 to 2001, whenWilbanks passed away.

“When someone he knew walked by he’dcall out their name,” Christie said. “They’dlook around and have a good laugh.”

Wilbanks would pre-sell about 10,000 tick-ets for the stand, Christie recalls. Many pre-sale tickets weren’t redeemed and manyemployers would buy tickets as a thank youto their employees, Christie said.

“They were always one of the first standserected. They would keep a refrigerator truckto keep hamburger patties.

“The main thing was Jack’s enthusiasmabout Kiwanis Club and being up there in thattree. Jack had been there as long as they hadthe stand.

“Some people would mainly go to the festi-val to get a Kiwanis hamburger. They weren’tinterested in anything else. They were goodburgers. They would blow smoke into thecrowd to get people’s taste buds going.”

or some it’sblooming flowerswhile for othersit’s seemingly end-less stretches ofvendors peddlingmagnificent craftsor the hoard ofpeople crammed

onto Main Street, but for most fundraising isn’tthe first thing that comes to mind when theyhear the phrase Flowertown Festival.

However, one of the main reasons for havingthe festival is to raise funds for the SummervilleYMCA so it can continue to offer a diversegroup of programs that are beneficial to thecommunity.

Without the festival, the Y would have toeither find new sources of revenue, such as rais-ing membership rates, or cut back on the typesof programs it offers.

Either way, that could lead to a less enrichedlife for some in the area.

With a festival, the Y is able to offer a scholar-

ship program so that even those who may nothave the means can participate in its programs.Without it, that program could go by the wayside.

“We offer scholarships for all of our pro-grams.” Summerville Y Downtown BranchDirector Jan Parsons said.

“Especially with our youth programs if some-one wants to participate we want them to even ifthey can’t afford our fees. There’s a packet ofinformation families have to fill out and thenour membership director or program director forthe individual program considers a family’sincome and expenses and we help subsidizewhat they can’t afford.”

Parsons estimates the Y subsidizes at least$160,000 worth of services each year. Last sum-mer the Y even offered free swimming lessonsto children who otherwise may have not learnedhow to swim.

“That’s the great thing about the Y,” Parsonssaid. A big part of what we do is helping thosein need and giving back to the community.”

e s t i v a l - g o e r swill see firsthandwhy Summervilleis known asFlowertown in thePines.

“Unless we havesome kind ofcrazy weather, weare going to have

one of the premiere blooming seasons we’vehad in years,” says Mike Hinson,Summerville Parks and Recreation director.

Blooms are already showing a fair amountof color.

“I haven’t seen things like crab apples thisprolific in years. Fruit trees require a certainamount of cold weather to set the fruit budsand we had cold weather this winter. As a

result they are blooming really well, as wellas the other plants too,” Hinson said.

One of the earliest bloomers is the floweringcherry.

“Frank Cuthbert, who is no longer with us,found those plants. We have some in AzaleaPark, Sheppard’s Park and at the SaulAlexander Playground. The bloom features adelicate but deep magenta blossom.

Japanese apricot trees with their small deli-cate pink and white blooms are shaping upand visible in homeowners yards. Wisteria isbeginning to bloom and Carolina Jessamine isshowing itself well, according to Hinson.

A few early varieties of azalea are peakingthrough; among the earliest is Elegance.

“There is a host of varieties of azaleas. DailyI see more and more color emerging,” he says.

This is the sec-ond year

TriCounty Link is offering a free shuttle busride from Heritage Square, at the corner ofU.S.-78 and Berlin G. Myers Parkway, to thefestival.

Two buses will run continuously, accordingto TriCounty Link Operations Manager BrianWorboys. The shuttles are ADA handicap-accessible with wheelchair lifts.

In 2010 the rural transportation company

ran buses on a schedule, transporting about900 people from Friday to Sunday, Worboyssays.

“We’re hoping to double that this year,” hesays. “Our first year was good and we’replanning on this one to be a lot better. We’rehoping the weather cooperates.”

When the bus gets full it will run the route.Each bus has 14 seats plus standing room.

The shuttle service is part of TriCountyLink’s community outreach, Worboys says.

“It’s free to park at Hertiage Square. It getsyou far enough away from the festival so traf-fic isn’t that bad when you leave.”

Summerville Police will assist to load andunload passengers quickly and safely,Worboys says. The shuttle will drop off pas-sengers by the festival entrance near TownHall. The route should take less then five min-utes each way, Worboys says.

hatever you mightbe looking for infamily-orientedfun, chances arethe FlowertownFestival has it.After nearly 40years and hun-dreds of thousandsof visitors -- many

of whom come back year after year -- theFlowertown Festival is one of the top 20 mostpopular events in the Southeast for a good rea-son: it offers something for just about everyone.

Still, with a festival this large, it pays toremember a few important things.

First, this is a dry festival – no alcohol isserved or allowed.

Second, no pets are allowed.

More important, however, is what the festivaldoes offer, notes YMCA Summerville’s LizGraham. Not only is it a fun time, it is a safetime. There will be plenty of EMS, fire, andlaw enforcement personnel to ensure everyonehas a good – and safe – time. First aid andpolice will be located in the CuthbertCommunity Center next to the tennis courts,near First Citizen’s Bank, along Main Streetand on Joyce Lane, near the Children’sFestival area.

Worried about such emergencies as suddensevere weather? Don’t be. Dorchester Countyhas an emergency preparedness plan in placethat specifically addresses such problems.More important, emergency personnel cansafely evacuate everyone from the area withina half hour.

There are other important services availableas well.

Coming back by popular demand for a sec-

ond year is the mommy and baby rest area, shesaid. Sponsored by Summerville MedicalCenter and Mothers and More, the station iscentrally located and is stocked with suppliessuch as diapers, wipes, and other necessities ofbaby’s life – not to mention a nice, shady place

to rest from the excitement of the day.The festival offers handicap parking/shuttle

service as well, she said.“Just use the parking garage,” Graham said.

“The Y will have handicap transport shuttlesavailable.”

The blight that has stunted the blooms ofdogwoods in recent years is still taking a toll,particularly on older specimens that are com-monly seen in rights-of-way and parks.

“I’ve seen some blooms that look like theymight be perfect and others show the effectsof the virus. There is not really much cure for

it,” Hinson says.He suggests that replacing some of the aged

plants with a younger crop and new strainsmight help eliminate the problem.

Other color will come from the red bud trees-- several are located in the park -- that areactually more lavender than red.

But most of all Hinson wants to welcomeeveryone to Summerville.

“I hope those who are here enjoy the beau-tiful spring God has given us,” he says.

• G. G. Gerbing, a medium-size white bloom, adds great show to any gar-den. Good examples are in many yards and in Azalea Park behind BethanyUnited Methodist Church.• Coral Bells is a small-leafed compact evergreen azalea with pink hose-in-hose blooms, blossoms in April. A hose-in-hose azalea is one for whichevery trumpet-shaped flower has a second trumpet-flower inside it. TheCoral Bells variety is also known as Daybreak and Pink Beauty.• A soft lavender azalea, the George L. Tabor, puts out a large, pastel bloomwith a splotched deep purple throat. It is reminiscent of an orchid in shapeand effect. It’s a good addition to any landscape and can grow about eightfeet tall and puts on an elegant display. There are several on the BethanyUMC side of the park.• President Clay with its brick-red blooms are putting on the best show thisweek with their full bushes lining the Azalea Park sidewalks that run parallelto S. Main Street.• Formosa azaleas may be one of the most popular because of their hardi-ness, but they also put on one of the best shows. With medium to large bril-liant magenta blooms and full bushes, they are a parks and gardensfavorite.

AMONG THE LOCAL AZALEA FAVORITES ARE:


The President Clay azalea features strong color and prolific blooms.

hile you will have to leave your four-legged and furry kids at home, theFlowertown Festival has a lot to offeryour other children.

Due to a town ordinance designed withpublic safety in mind, pets are notallowed at the festival.

“We all love our pets, but please leavethem at home,” Summerville YMCAMarketing and HR Director Liz Graham

said. “We want them to be safe and out of the sun, plus we want themany who attend the event to be safe as well. Thank you so much foryour understanding of this town mandate.”

Strollers are also banned because they can block festival pathways,many of which are very narrow.

Other than that, the festival is a great place for a family outing andincludes numerous things appealing to children.

Located just off the main path, Main Street, the Kid’s Jubilee offersrides and other fun designed for young festivalgoers. Several vendorsoffer entertainment and toys that are a hit with the younger crowd.

Proclaim – Crossroads Community Church will have skits, clowns,face painting, various acts of entertainment. Located just across from theKid’s Jubilee.

Kerry Dortch, The Puppet Farm, presents shows continuously featur-

ing his handmade puppets. His booth is in the park just past the hut andthe tennis courts.

The Little Blue Choo – Engineer Rick takes adults and their kiddoson a little tour (for a minimal fee). The train “depot” is on 6th Streetnear Main.

Diana Shockey, a new arts and crafts vendor, will have bubblemakers and bubble wands for kids to try out. Her company is TheBubble Makers and her booth location will be on Main Street.

Get the kids silhouette drawn by new arts and crafts vendor KeithDonaldson, located on Main Street.

The YMCA booth, located in the parking lot of the CuthbertCenter, will have free balloons available.

Kids can get their rubberband slingshots, marshmallow guns andwooden toys from Karen Patillo/The Family Affair, JollyNichols/Jolly’s Toys and Tom Greene/Creekside Heirlooms.

Face painters at the festival include Dave Washburn (he also doescaricatures) and Face Painting by Donnie.

Mothers and More will offer a nursing station with privacy screensand diaper changing station behind the Cuthbert Community Center.The diaper changing station will have free diapers and wipes whilesupplies last.

Flowertown Festival is great for kids, but not for pets

Knightsville approximately a year ago. “I’mreally excited about having a booth becausenow those people won’t have to leave the festi-val to get those items taken care of.

oung teenagers will be keptbusy all summer long witha mix of community workand poolside fun as part ofthe Oakbrook YMCA’s teencampers program.

Head Teen CounselorReanee Player is already atwork planning activities forthe youngsters, aged 13 to

15, and has mapped out “themes” for each week explor-ing core values.

One of the weeks will focus on leadership and theimportance of hard work and stewardship, she said.

Player said Mondays and Wednesdays are reserved forservice work. In the past, the campers have worked withthe Eagle Harbor Boys Ranch, Charleston Area SeniorCitizens, a food bank and the South Carolina OysterRestoration and Enhancement Program, a project of theDepartment of Natural Resources.

The oyster project was particularly popular last year,Player said, because the campers got to build an oysterreef.

“The kids really enjoyed that,” she said. Tuesdays and Thursdays will be more recreational,

with time for the pool and nature walks. The camperswill also do their value lessons, and Player warned thatsummer doesn’t mean a pass on using their brains.

“I’m giving them homework during summer camp,which they might not like!” she said.

Two of the value lessons will use movies – althoughthe campers certainly won’t be watching movies allsummer long, Player said.

She said she intends for them to watch Pay it Forwardand then try to brainstorm ideas about things they coulddo to help others, and to watch Facing the Giants andthen discuss overcoming peer pressure, bullying andother problems that are particularly acute in adoles-cence.

Fridays will be for field trips, which will be based onthe theme of the week, Player said. Campers will haveto raise money for the field trips, primarily through carwashes and special nights at local restaurants, whichhelps the campers to appreciate the chance to go onfield trips, she said.

The camp runs May 31 to August 12. There is a $50registration fee, and the weekly fee is $100 for mem-bers and $155 for non-members. Registration is opennow for members and will open March 31 for non-members.

Oakbrook also offers a daycare for children ages fivethrough 12 and a counselors in training program for 15-year-olds.
