“This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”

— George Bernard Shaw

  • TIFFANIE R.

    “

    The thing that surprised me most about the experience my kids had at CAW camp was that my child who tends to be more reserved really felt supported and confident during the camp and went on to give a stunning performance in the showcase. The experience gave my child the confidence to go to their first high school audition this school year.
