"You have reaffirmed one tremendously important idea... that Art and Music teachers truly are the heart and soul of the school."

"The Arts are the core of education around which all the other subject matters should revolve!"

"Thank you so much. It was wonderful."

"Not as much time at the museum. Include more music related topics during group discussion/activity time."

"I have thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this weekend. I especially appreciated the availability, knowledge and patience of resource people and performers. The whole experience here was awesome, overwhelming at times, but wonderful. Thank you!"

"More time to explore the historical significance of the Sagamore camp."

"I loved every minute of this experience, especially the resource people, the setting and the concert, the canoe/flute ballet, and the food. Of course, knowing that the challenges will be helping children learn more about the Adirondacks is wonderful motivation."

"Thanks"

"The follow-up meeting in 2004 should include an overnight."

"This was a wonderfully informative and relaxing retreat."

"Do this at least once a year!" 

"Very nice! Many unique and personalized experiences. Bill, Dan and Peggy were great as was the "canoe dance". Thanks for organizing this ? Good Job!!"

"I'd do it again!"

"Shorter time at the Adirondack Museum to allow more time at Sagamore."

"Everything was wonderful! Thank you so much for all the time you put into this weekend. It was an exceptional experience!!" (Would prefer meeting during the week rather than on weekends.)

"Provide more information about the nature of the facilities."

"How about s'mores! Or doing a project together, like weaving a pack basket or something so that everone got to leave with a souvenir."

"I received conflicting information regarding how to write a challenge, which really confused me.  I loved the experience at Sagamore and the visiting artists and musicians were wonderful!"

"It would be great if it would be possible to structure a conference or weekend in which teams of classroom teachers could work with arts educators, so that the in-depth content (which is truly outside the feasible provenance of most arts educators who only see kids once a week) can be addressed."

"The resource people were wonderful - the entertainment terrific!"

"Great. Thanks."

"I loved every minute of it."

"It was a dream come true."

"HOORAY!!!!   YIPPEE!!!!!  THE MARCHING BAND IS PLAYING OUR SONG!!!!!!!!!!"
