Windsor 2019 Summer Program Ends

The Windsor CSD summer program came to an end with the final day of Fine Arts camp on Thursday.

Campers finished their bowls made from newspaper, painted light-switch covers, and painting of fireflies escaping from a glass jar.

The Black Knight (advanced) and Gold Knight (intermediate) bands finished their work, as did students who studied drums, and the music composition tool, Launch Pad.

In chorus, instructor Bobby Morano gave students latitude to pick the songs they wanted to work on. However, he also tried something new. He had students sing solos and then get feedback from other students.

“It’s like something you’d do in a college studio class,” said Morano.

He was impressed with the level of analysis students were able to give to their peers.

“It was amazing. I said to myself, ‘This is definitely something I need to do more of,’” said Morano.

The Windsor summer program featured Knight Lights, an enrichment camp for elementary students, and Windsor Strong Academy, a camp for middle school students that focused on strengthening the community and making students future-ready.

Students could also choose to attend a 4H camp, or any of 13 athletics camps. Whatever the choice, the goal was to have students learn, be active, and have fun.

“They had a blast. These are the best kids in the world,” said music teacher Christine Krieger.
