Camp StarQuest News 2021 - Week 4 - Aaron Family Jewish Community Center of Dallas

StarQuest Rocked It!

Unbelievable! What an amazing summer we had! In four short weeks, camp StarQuest became a home away from home, a place where our campers transformed into rockin’ StarQuest Super Stars! The last week of camp was action packed! Not only did each group perform in their own version of Seussical Kids, but they also brought the spirit and battled it out “true camper” style for our Battle of the Stars 2021 Color War.

As always, Camp StarQuest concluded camp with our traditional award ceremony, closing appreciation circle, ice cream, hugs, tears and so much love! Here at Camp StarQuest we are honored to have had the opportunity to experience your kids and watch their creativity soar and their minds grow. The bonds that were formed, the friendships and the memories made will be cherished for years to come. We miss our amazing campers already, and the countdown to Camp StarQuest 2022 has already begun!

Final Performances

Camp StarQuest Campers – Wow, just wow!

Our campers were mesmerizing from the moment they took the stage. We couldn’t be prouder of their hard work, commitment, and dedication not only to their craft, but to each other. They clearly utilized all that they learned in our specialty voice, dance, and acting classes each morning, and brought that focus and energy to our afternoon rehearsals which made each of their performances come to life. Stay tuned – We are currently editing the filmed performances and so be on the lookout for a link to watch and share your camper’s performances with family and friends.

Inside Peak into Battle of the Stars & End of Camp

Battle of the Stars: 2021 Color War was a hit! We officially broke Color War on Wednesday after our final performance. The last two days of camp, we laughed, we ran, we cheered, we smiled, we sang, we danced. Below are some special highlights.

Campers arrived dressed in true battle of the stars spirit
Field Day – egg toss, watermelon eat, potato on a spoon relay, potato sack race and the room decorating contest
Song Fest – each team learned two songs (an alma mater and a cheer), learned a march and created a banner
Awards – each camper received an award, and our All-around Camper Award was given out
Final Appreciation Circle

We are all so sad Camp StarQuest has come to an end. The last four weeks have been amazing! Our closing circle last Friday solidified all we had wished this summer to be for our amazing campers. We cannot wait for them to walk into the school year with a truer sense of self, more confidence, and a deeper compassion for others.

Our campers love of the arts certainly grew stronger, and their skill sets improved but perhaps most importantly, our campers learned a wealth of life lessons they can carry with them wherever they go. Hats off to our amazing staff for changing lives and to our awesome, fantastic super campers who gave 100% every day. We will miss you. We accomplished all we set out to do and then some. Please join us during the year and be a part of our JPAS awesome programming.
