Teen Musicians and Stage Fashion
Retro Ruby
You will love Retro Ruby if you like rock music from the 1970s. This fifteen-year-old singer plays old songs on a beautiful guitar. On stage, you can see her wearing large trousers and colorful shirts. She does not spend money on new clothes. Instead, her grandmother gives her old clothes to wear for her shows. Ruby thinks these clothes have a great history. You can watch her open concerts across the country every weekend. She never wears modern styles or dark colors.
DJ Neon
You can find DJ Neon playing exciting electronic music at summer festivals. This young musician uses modern technology to create great sounds. When you watch his show, his jackets and shoes shine brightly in the dark. He fixes small lights and computer pieces inside his outfits to make them change color. Before every show, you can visit his website. He asks his fans to vote online and choose the next outfit he will wear. He loves bright colors and exciting designs.

Our Favourite Comic Book Characters
Mark
My favourite comic book character is Inspector Fox. He is very different from other heroes because he is not strong or brave. He actually hates danger! But I love him because he is very clever. When there is a difficult puzzle, he always finds the right answer. He is also really funny and makes me laugh a lot. He wears a long grey coat and a big hat. I read his comics every night before bed.
Sarah
I love reading about Captain Nova. She travels in a big spaceship to visit different planets. She is very brave and is never afraid of anything. What I like most about her is that she is not perfect. Sometimes she makes bad mistakes, but she always tries again and learns from them. Nova is very helpful and she always saves her friends. My brother thinks her stories are boring, but I think they are exciting!
Finn
My top comic book hero is called The Helper. He does not have any magic or special powers like other heroes. He is just a normal teenager who wants to make his town a better place. I like him because he is very kind. He spends his free time helping old people and he always rescues animals in trouble. He has three dogs and a cat. He shows everyone that you can be a hero every day.

You can use your phone to take photos of your friends, but you will not have time to play computer games. Get ready for an exciting week!
Art Space Camp
If you love using your imagination, you should come to Art Space Camp. We have fantastic teachers to help you improve your drawing and painting. You do not have to work with anyone else; you can just sit quietly and paint beautiful pictures. Please remember to wear old clothes because things can get quite dirty! At the end of the week, you can take everything you make back to your house to show your family. It is a wonderful way to spend your summer.
Quiet Minds Camp
Do you prefer quiet places to loud parties? Quiet Minds Camp is a lovely place to rest. We do not play noisy sports here. Instead, you can read books, do some slow stretching, and go for long walks next to the river. We ask everyone to leave their mobile phones at home so we can all enjoy the peace.
