Alumni’s Love of Musical Theater Started at Camp!

My name is Jo-Ann Shain (standing on the right.)  I started at THC back in 1964 as a camper and spent my last summer there as a counselor in 1971. My years at Tyler Hill have had a profound impact on my life. The rhythm of bunk life and camp rituals, the people, and the physical beauty of the area have been especially memorable to me.  I enjoyed sports, particularly softball and swimming, but what has stayed with me the most is my participation in the camp musicals. I was lucky enough to land the lead in a few shows during those summers, mostly because I could sing (not act!).  I developed a life-long love of singing and musical theater at Tyler Hill. As a result of this experience, I recently took a cabaret performance workshop and appeared twice in a cabaret show at The Duplex in Manhattan! Continue reading

Art From the Heart

Hi! My name is Hannah and I am going to be a Junior this year at THC. It’s going to be my third year at camp.
