Awesome Amelia!!

My name is Amelia Horras.  This will be my 3rd summer as an R.A. at Scape.  I attend Quest, Scape, and D.L.A. as a camper.  I graduated college from St. Ambrose University with a degree in Physics and Education in 2010.  I am currently teaching at OTC Middle College, an alternative high school in Springfield.  I also coach soccer on the side at Parkview High School!  I'm VERY excited for another fantastic summer with the world's greatest campers!

Meet The Staff!

Over the next few weeks, we will be introducing you to our marvelous staff.  We will start with Betsy Cannella who serves as the Residential Coordinator for Summerscape.

"I am going on my tenth year with Drury's Pre-College programs and Summerscape.  I am also in my fifth year as a middle school teacher at Phelps Center for Gifted Education in Springfield, MO.  I started Phelps's first robotics team for middle school SCHOLARS and WINGS students and competed in the BEST competition this past fall where we placed 8th overall among all high school teams.  Due to my camp experience ten years ago, I changed my career path from being an architect to being a teacher.  I love long walks on the beach, bike rides, and sushi."

DLA Residential Program is FULL!!!!

With the end of school, the blog is going to start back up and we hope you will check it often for information about Summerscape and DLA 2013.  Our first big announcement is that the dorm is full for DLA and we are no longer able to take residential campers.  We are excited to host 80 fantastic campers again this year.  We hope that you are having a great end to your school year and a super start to your summer!
