A Creative Bunch, We Are.

Being such an emotional farewell, the retreaters decided that on the final night at camp we would do something special. We decided that since there was so much talent amongst us, that we would have a talent show where every single retreater would have a chance to showcase their talent or do something they were good at. In between our afternoon sessions on Sunday, you could see everyone running off into their private corners to prepare for their skits for the night.

The talent show turned out to be an amazing way to end off the weekend. It gave us a chance to learn that little something extra about each retreater, and best of all, it gave us a chance to have some good laughs and fun together. We ended up with poetry, musical performances, comedic skits, acting, wrestling, and acrobatics, among other things. A testicular cancer survivor amongst us, Daniel Schneiderman, even performed his "one man cancer show," which he performs at high schools around the country. Daniel is an actor with a great sense of humor, so he decided to use his talent to get the message about testicular cancer across to young men. He conveyed his message in an entertaining, almost comical way that captured his audience. It was most most impressive.

I have attached some pictures and videos from the talent show here. Enjoy!
