CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Teen Treks has been a leader in bike touring summer programs for 18 years. At Teen Treks we offer fun and not competitive biking experiences. Our Moderate rated trips are geared towards first time bicyclists, appropriate for most 14-18 year olds in average or better physical health. Our Easy treks are extremely easy in terms of daily mileage and terrain and will attract slower riders. For our Challenging treks you need to be in good shape and enjoy bicycling. We have had many first time riders do challenging treks and this is for those eager for a challenge.

Any teenager can enjoy one of our summer bike trips. We love a good challenge and we encourage teens to be ambitious, but we keep things fun, too – there’s always time to stop for ice cream, enjoy the scenery, or check out an awesome local restaurant or historical site.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: History: Over twenty-five years ago, Cynthia Donavin founded Classical Ballet Theatre (CBT), which today includes a classical ballet and contemporary dance training academy as well as performance companies. The not-for-profit organization has shared its love of the performing arts with thousands of students and patrons. It has presented beloved, classical ballets, such as "The Nutcracker," "Cinderella," "Sleeping Beauty," "Swan Lake," and "Coppelia" as well as original productions, such as "Tom Sawyer." It has maintained an outstanding faculty, and it has developed young artists who have been able to pursue careers in the theater at every level of excellence. In response to the demands of Fairfax County, CBT expanded its training programs, scholarships, and outreach efforts, which has resulted in its growth and establishment as a highly respected educational and performing arts organization in the Washington Metropolitan Area.

Mission: CBT provides education, performance, and outreach opportunities in the art of dance.

Education: CBT provides the highest caliber of classical ballet and contemporary dance training and coaching, affords classes to dancers of all ages and abilities, and prepares dancers for careers in the performing arts. The children's program emphasizes pre-professional achievement, with each instruction level crafted to provide comprehensive training in order to produce the high quality dancer for which CBT is known. In addition to academy classes, training includes master classes with industry leaders, Youth America Grand Prix coaching, dance conditioning specialties, summer intensives, and choreography camps. The adult program offers stretch classes, core conditioning, and classical training, and it often serves local and visiting professional dancers.

Performance: CBT provides exceptional classical ballet and contemporary dance performance opportunities, while offering professional quality productions to the community at affordable prices. Productions include beautiful choreography and some of the best, pre-professional talent in the area. CBS DC named CBT as one of the “best places to see ballet in the DC area.“

Outreach: CBT's extensive community outreach includes free performing arts enrichment programs for local schools, organizations, and underserved populations, as well as tribute performances that raise public awareness for worthy causes and/or honor members of the community. CBT also offers educational backstage tours, complimentary tickets to underserved populations, and performance discounts to scouts, military families, children, and seniors.

Goals: CBT has three main goals on which it consistently focuses:

To share its love of the performing arts by fulfilling the mission of the organization to the best of its ability and to incorporate ongoing program development and improvement to ensure the identification and fulfillment of student and community needs in innovative ways;

To instill core values of integrity, honesty, inclusion, respect, care, and excellence in its students; and

To serve as Northern Virginia's premier classical ballet and contemporary dance instruction academy and performance theatre and to be recognized nationally and internationally for developing future dancers who are mentally, physically, and emotionally capable of success.

Students will learn how to utilize colored light and work with bright, simple objects to create stunning artworks. Through the exploration of intense light and its effects on the local color of still life objects, students will develop a deep understanding of how different light
arrangements can fundamentally change the color relationships of objects in their artwork. With a focus on value versus color saturation, students will complete one canvas per day, allowing for a dialogue centered on artistic expression and technique. using painting knives and brushes, students will practice paint handling in preparation for longer studies.

Classical Drawing Level I with Michela!
In this progressively oriented beginner drawing course, our objective is to develop drawing and seeing skills in serious young artists.New students will learn the three important parts of starting a drawing:

1). the envelope
2). the separation of light from shadow, and
3). the five-value scale.

Through the use of simple still life objects, students will practice perspective and proportion under a single light source. With charcoal on toned paper, participants will learn how to see and successfully articulate monumental shapes of light and shadow, create the illusion of depth, and fully realize tonal relationships.

Classical Drawing Level II with Michela!
This course is designed to develop drawing and observational skills in serious young artists. Through the use of complex still life objects such as casts from antiquity, students will practice perspective and proportion under a single light source. Using charcoal on toned paper, participants will learn how to see and successfully articulate monumental shapes of light and shadow, creating the illusion of depth and fully realizing tonal relationships. Throughout the week, we will also introduce the Charles Bargue Drawing Course to further enhance students' mastery of skills. These skills include:

1). successfully launching an envelope around the
compositional elements,
2). determining correct tilts and angles, describing
perspective,
3). consistently separating true light from true shadow, and
4). calibrating the value of the overall still life arrangement.

Paper Mache with Michela!
This camp is all about exploring the world of three-dimensional artwork through the medium of papier-mâché. Known as the "poor man's clay," papier-mâché allows students to create sculptures and bring their imagination to life. One of the key skills learned in this camp is engineering, as students are required to construct an armature that can support the weight of their sculpture. To do this, they study the skeletal structure of animals or other subjects they wish to recreate, enabling them to engineer a strong armature as a foundation for their sculpture. The materials used to form the sculpture are simple, including wire, balloons, recycling newspaper, boxes, white printing paper, a soluble solution of methyl cellulose, Elmer's glue and hot glue. After preparing the sculpture with a white primer, students are invited to paint it using water-based tempera paints. This camp offers a skill-based learning process where students have a lot of fun creating their own unique sculptures.

Anime Drawing with Michela!
Welcome to our Japanese Style Figure Drawing Summer Camp! This camp offers students the unique opportunity to study the art of Japanese-style figure drawing and explore the creation of narratives through their artwork. Japanese-style drawing is renowned for its realistic interpretation, especially in graphic novels. Throughout the week, students will focus on different aspects of drawing skills, dedicating each day to a specific area of study. They will spend time
mastering the intricacies of drawing heads and hairstyles, bodies and body types, hands and feet, as well as perspective and backgrounds. On the final day, students will have the freedom to choose their own adventure by creating and illustrating their own short story.

After college, Cheryl's further formal training included studies with Josephine Forsberg at The Players Workshop of The Second City and with co-founder and Artistic Director Jeff Perry at the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago. Cheryl was also a member of The Second City National Touring Company. She worked for 20 years in Hollywood as a professional actress, comedy coach, assistant voice casting agent, voice-over artist, director, and producer of comedy shows. In the 1990s, Cheryl's comedy classes for kids and teens were rated as "Best in L.A." by the alternative news weekly New Times Los Angeles.

Cheryl is also an individual acting coach who offers private lessons for actors who need help to prepare for auditions. She also teaches beginners and advanced actors practical advice about monologues, scene study, and improvisation with an emphasis on how to practice good diction and non-verbal communication skills that can often make an audition more effective and memorable.

Since 1995, Cheryl has taught acting to about 6,200 children, teens, and adults in both California and Virginia. When Cheryl worked in Chicago, she was nominated for a local Emmy Award and won a Joseph Jefferson Award for best actress in a revue. She also won a Drama Logue Theater Award for her performance in a revue in Los Angeles.

Cheryl was known to thousands of children in the 1990s for her starring role as Mother Goose in The Mother Goose Video Treasury. The musical nursery rhyme shows with puppets and live actors were very popular and favorably reviewed by Parents Magazine and are still sold today in the DVD format.

Cheryl also appeared on several network TV programs including as a series regular in the NBC show Against the Grain in 1993. She was also both a regular actor and a writer for The Motown Revue Starring Smokey Robinson in 1985. After re-locating from LA to Virginia In 2007, she started her own small acting school in the city of Falls Church for students from northern Virginia. But students also come from as far away as Baltimore, Frederick, Annapolis, Richmond, Haymarket, and Leesburg. Her school features small classes, private lessons, and audition-preparation coaching for advanced students who need as much individual time and attention as possible. Cheryl designs her classes and monolgues for all ages including adults without previous acting experience. Her students have been in films, won parts in school and community theater productions, and have filmed commercials and public service announcements.

Our new air-conditioned classroom offers ample free parking in front of a deluxe apartment complex club house that is located in a safe residential neighborhood near to the East Falls Church Orange Line Metro Stop and to major highways.
