Keremeos Theatre Camp back for 10th season

PENTICTON – The Keremeos Grist Mill and Gardens are hosts of the 10th Annual five day theatre camp for kids seven to 12 years old.

The camp is a program of Lower Similkameen Community Services Society funded with BC Gaming Proceeds.

The camp runs Monday through to Friday, August 21 to 25, from 9 a.m. to noon and is a free program.

In past years the kids have developed plays based upon traditional folktales or their own made-up stories in which they improvise scenes with costumes and properties from bins supplied by the local Cawston Players amateur theatre club.

A free public performance will be given at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, August 25th.

Coaches at this year;'s camp will be Su Wolfe and Bob MacAtamney with Dave Cursons in a support role.

As in past years, teens are welcome to join in with the theatre camp as volunteers where they will participate and support the younger folks.

Kids under seven years may attend in the company of an adult caregiver.

Story Theatre registration forms are available at and received by the Keremeos Branch of Okanagan Regional Library.

Inquiries go to Similkameen Famiy Literacy at 250-499-2352 Local 107.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
