Heidelberg summer camp
        The Heidelberg University School of Music & Theatre is again offering a summer camp for students in grades eight-12.
        Campers will get to experience singing in a choir, playing in a band and acting on stage during the weeklong camp, which will be held June 11-17.
        “Students who attend the camp really can have it all,” said Dr. Elizabeth Tracy, director of Heidelberg’s Community Music School and the camp organizer. “They can perform, create, design and lead on and off the stage as they learn how to prepare for a career in the arts.”
        The camp format is similar to an honor music festival, Tracy said. Participants will have the opportunity to customize their schedules by choosing up to two tracks among choir, band and theatre, and a number of elective seminars in areas such as brass, woodwinds, percussion, voice, piano conducting, songwriting and composition, marching band techniques, music theory, dance, lighting, sound design, stagecraft, acting and makeup.
        For those who choose music ensembles, the camp experience will culminate with a concert on Friday night, June 16. On Saturday, June 17, the camp finale will be a performance of the musical, “Disney’s Descendants,” at 2 p.m.
        Heidelberg music and theatre faculty members will be the instructors for all of the courses and tracks. Undergraduate music and theatre majors will serve as camp counselors throughout the week.
        Commuter tuition is $425 and includes lunch and dinner. Resident double occupancy is $550 and includes all meals and housing in a double room. Resident single occupancy is $600 and includes all meals and housing in a single room.
        All campers receive admission for two to the concert on Friday or the theatre performance on Saturday, one camp T-shirt, and all supplies required for sessions as part of the tuition. A $50 deposit is due by the registration deadline of May 15 with the balance due June 1.
        Registration and additional information are available at heidelberg.edu/SMTCamp2023 or by emailing at etracy@heidelberg.edu.

Cedar Fair announces BGSU scholarship
        Bowling Green State University students who are enrolled in the university's Cedar Fair Resort and Attraction Management (RAAM) program now have new scholarship opportunities from Cedar Fair, a world leader in operating regional amusement and water parks.
        BGSU and Cedar Fair entered into a partnership in 2019 to offer the first and only Bachelor of Science in Resort and Attraction Management degree of its kind in North America. As part of this degree-completion program, students complete two guaranteed co-ops at one of Cedar Fair’s North American amusement parks or a similar destination. Both co-ops are paid and provide students with valuable experience to launch their careers even before graduation.
        As a part of Cedar Fair's commitment to its partnership with BGSU, it has introduced a new scholarship program with $45,000 to be distributed this academic year. Scholarships are being administered by the Erie County Community Foundation (ECCF).
        To be eligible, students must be enrolled in the RAAM program and have worked at a Cedar Fair park during the past 12 months. Thirty scholarships – each worth $1,500 – are available and are expected to be announced in May. Winners will be chosen by a six-person selection committee composed primarily of ECCF representatives.
        Cedar Fair and BGSU co-developed the unique RAAM program. The university facilitates the curriculum and Cedar Fair provides hands-on co-op experiences, training and opportunities to gain industry experience and full-time employment.
        Approximately 120 students are currently enrolled in the RAAM program. The inaugural class of 30 students graduated last spring, with 16 joining Cedar Fair in full-time, year-round, part-time or seasonal roles. 
        Cedar Fair owns and operates 13 properties, consisting of 11 amusement parks, four separately gated outdoor water parks, and resort accommodations totaling more than 2,300 rooms and more than 600 luxury RV sites.

Wynn Preschool earns 5 stars
        Step Up To Quality is a rating system that awards one to five stars to learning and development programs that go above and beyond minimum licensing standards.
        Star-rated programs lay the foundation for children’s learning and development and build skills that are important for success in school and in life. Programs with star ratings:
        • Have highly trained teachers
        • Develop children’s school readiness skills
        • Are committed to continuous improvement
        • Value relationships with families and communities
        Research confirms that the first five years of a child’s life has a direct impact on how children develop emotional well-being, in addition to learning and social skills.  For these reasons, the Ohio Department of Education is committed to improving early childhood opportunities for all children in the state.
        North Point Educational Service Center provides an early learning program in Oregon at Wynn School. To learn more, visit npesc.org/vnews/display.v/SEC/Programs/Services%7CEarly%20Childhood.
