KATY’S NEWEST FILMMAKING AND ANIMATION<br />

CAMP CREATED BY SLHS ALUMNI<br />

Howdy! Our names are Kai, Cazden, Robbie and Jack, we are four SLHS<br />

Alumni and Texas Film School Graduates. For the past year we have<br />

been creating Katy’s newest and only Animation and Filmmaking camp,<br />

Creator Camp! Our goal is to share with students the wonders of film and<br />

animation without the dullness of note taking and lectures. We designed<br />

our 3-day camps so that students will learn hands-on and in real-time,<br />

creating Special effects, Green Screen effects, Sound effects and loads<br />

more. Each day, students will come home with a new movie they created<br />

themselves and on the last day we will transform a classroom into a<br />

mock Oscars Film Festival where your child will pick their favorite film<br />

that they made to be shown on the big screen! We are running our first<br />

camps this summer and we would love to have some support from the<br />

local community to get us off to a good start. Camps are held at Mirus<br />

Academy Katy, 5561 3 rd St, Katy, TX 77493 and Each camper will receive a<br />

free shirt and goody bag. Two Sessions will be held this summer:<br />

Session 1: <strong>June</strong> 28 th -30 th : 8:30 AM-3:30 PM<br />

Session 2: July 20 th -22 nd : 8:30 AM-3:30 PM<br />

ROSE THERAPEUTIC FARM AND GOAT YOGA<br />

SUMMER CAMPS<br />

ROSE Therapeutic Farm Summer Camps are an exciting way to light<br />

up any young person’s summer. Our camps provide unique, hands-on<br />

opportunities for learning, growth, and fun. Campers spend their time<br />

here immersed in the natural world, with animals and the environment.<br />

Each camp is loaded with creative, enriching activities meant to help<br />

your kiddos connect with nature and learn how to enjoy “the simple life.”<br />

This is meant to be a real farm/ranch life experience so we will get dirty!<br />

We will also be outside all day. We have a large barn where we will do our<br />

crafts, eat lunch and other activities but it is not air-conditioned. Please<br />

have your kiddos dress accordingly. If they don’t like being outdoors or<br />

getting dirty, this may not be the camp for them.<br />

* 1 to 4 day sessions available.<br />

*Our camps are geared toward children ages 6 – 12.<br />

*Each camp will have 18 or less participants. We must have at least 5<br />

campers to start each camp.<br />

Lunch can be provided or you can send a bag lunch with your kiddos.<br />

We have a cooler we will keep these in. We will have access to fresh iced<br />

water all day. Of course you are welcome to send a lunch with your kiddo<br />

if you choose.<br />

We have done everything we can to try and reopen our doors, including<br />

becoming the first theater in the country to install hospital grade UV<br />

lights in our air filtration system. We even offered a safe and distanced<br />

indoor concert as well as an indoor offering from our educational touring<br />

unit this past fall. And when those projects proved financially challenging<br />

and COVID numbers spiked again, we created “Light Up the Lot” and<br />

moved all our programming outdoors.<br />

We’ve never given up. We never will give up. But due to circumstances<br />

beyond our control, we find ourselves needing to pivot once more.<br />

PLANNING WISELY -<br />

CONSERVING WATER<br />

Water is a limited resource everywhere. Though the eastern half of the<br />

United States typically receives enough (or sometimes too much) there<br />

are dry areas that sometimes do not receive enough rain for the demand.<br />

Most low-elevation areas of the western United States have low rainfall<br />

rates and a long dry season and though the overall western water supply<br />

remains virtually fixed, ever more people are putting demands on it.<br />

Thus, conserving water is (or should be) a concern everywhere. Here are<br />

a few tips for waterwise gardening.<br />

LOCATE PLANTS CAREFULLY<br />

Group plants with similar water needs together. They can then be<br />

irrigated together and no plant will receive too much or too little water.<br />

This concept is called hydro zoning. To cut water use on plants that need<br />

regular moisture, site the “thirsty” individuals in a spot shielded from<br />

drying summer winds.<br />

MULCH YOUR PLANTINGS<br />

An organic mulch spread several inches thick over the soil acts as an<br />

insulating blanket, slowing evaporation from the soil and keeping it cooler<br />

than it would be if unprotected. Rocks and gravel also do the job. Black<br />

plastic sheeting, sold in rolls, conserves moisture and suppresses weeds.<br />

You can also buy rolls of various plastic materials known collectively as<br />

landscape fabrics. Permeable to water and air, these are manufactured<br />

expressly for use as a mulch.<br />

ELIMINATE RUNOFF<br />

Don’t waste water by irrigating paved surfaces. If your sprinkler system<br />

showers water over sidewalks, patios or driveways, replace the heads with<br />

a model that delivers water where it is needed. Or redesign the system.<br />

Sloping land and heavy clay soils invite runoff - due to gravity in the first<br />

case, due to slow water penetration in the second. To solve the problem,<br />

adjust the rate at which water is applied. If you use sprinklers, you can<br />

improve penetration by watering in several successive short intervals,<br />

allowing time for water to soak in between each spell of sprinkling.<br />

Terraces and basins can also help prevent runoff on slopes.<br />

HOW TO CELEBRATE FATHER’S DAY<br />

Father’s Day is the time to celebrate the great bond between father and<br />

his child. It is the occasion, when the world acknowledges the importance<br />

of fatherhood. If you want to make the special day a memorable one for<br />

your dad, then add color to the celebrations. With some efforts and a<br />

little bit of creativity, you can make the day the most memorable one<br />

for the head of your household. we have provided some ideas that will<br />

brighten up the celebration of Father’s Day. Celebrate Father’s Day with<br />

the important male figures in your life. Invite your grandfather, brother,<br />

uncles, husband/would-be to join you in the celebrations. It is definite<br />

that they will add color to the occasion.<br />

• You may focus the celebration on a particular activity, say, a competition.<br />

You may organize singing, dance, craft making competitions and invite<br />

the kids as well as the adults to take part. This would be the best bet; in<br />

case you are planning to throw a party for your dad.<br />

• Arrange an extravagant brunch buffet for your father and show him<br />

that Father’s Day is as important as any other festival. For the budget<br />

conscious lot, organizing an economical luncheon will be better.<br />

• Refresh the special moments that you have shared with your dad, by<br />

walking down the memory lane. To do this, collect the old photographs<br />

that you have clicked with your daddy and make a collage. Display it in<br />

the venue (of celebrations) or present it to your father.<br />

14<br />

• Plan the day that revolves around your dad’s favorite pastime. If he loves<br />

to play games, then consider buying tickets to a game.<br />

• If your dad is interested in sports, the best bet would be organizing a<br />

sports event for your family. You may ride in bike along a scenic trail with<br />

other family members or arrange a mock Olympics, complete with relay<br />

races. Culminate the day with an award winning ceremony.<br />

• For a movie buff dad, organizing a movie marathon will be a nice idea.<br />

Turn your living room into a home theatre. For the purpose, arrange an<br />

overhead projector, get a collection of DVDs of your dad’s favorite flicks<br />

and enjoy watching movies along with him. You may invite your close<br />

relatives to join in the celebration. Make sure you have snacks to munch<br />

during the movie.<br />

• On Father’s Day, display your culinary skills to him. Dig up your father’s<br />

favorite recipes and prepare a meal for him. If you are not adept at the<br />

art of cooking, you may make a reservation at his favorite restaurant,<br />

for lunch or dinner. Sum up the celebrations by presenting him some<br />

cooking gadgets or a cook book.<br />
