Today the students go home. Bittersweet! We have all been working so hard. I am exhausted and ready to go home. But, as always, it's been a completely inspiring two weeks, and it's a shame we have to wait until next June to experience it all over again.
Camp is just barely concluding and I'm already having regrets. I was not as open this year as I have been in years past. I usually make the effort to really get to know EVERY counselor and try to talk to as many instructors as I can. I don't know what it was, but this year I was very closed off, and am leaving camp with the feeling that I didn't get the chance to talk and connect to many of my OSAI friends from years past or connect with new ones. Oh well.
After breakfast the students went to the ballroom and filled out their evaluations. Then everyone headed over to the PAC for the closing ceremonies. The chorus sang a song from yesterday's performance, the orchestra played a movement from The Planets, we all watched the video yearbook, and OSAI 2010 was officially over. Hugs were exchanged, pictures taken, and a couple tears were dried then the students made their way back to the housing areas to check out.
Once all my students had left, my last official duty was to drive three instructors to the airport in Oklahoma City. I drove the orchestra conductor, modern dance instructor, and ballet accompanist. Then I drove back to OSAI campus and celebrated the end of another great summer with my fellow counselors and staff.
