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 />
