At the end of every summer, the campers of the Tarrytown-Sleepy Hollow TOT Camp put on a performance for their friends and family.

After six weeks of practicing every day, the campers sang seven songs to demonstrate how far they have come at summer camp.

This summer, camp was located at the John Paulding School, which due to the recent closing of Tappan Hill, allowed the children whom are going into kindergarten to get comfortable with their new setting.

For some of the campers, this is their first experience at a day camp where they follow a schedule very similar to a day-to-day schedule in school.

At the TOT Camp, the campers, who range in age from three to five years old, have periods of music, art, and library, snack, and lunch and get to play in the playground and go in the sprinkler (or slip-in-slide) outside.

Also, every week, the campers would have the opportunity to participate in shows and activities. This summer, the campers were able to play on the Fun Bus, watch magic tricks and play games with a clown, and watch multiple different children performers who played games and sang with them. On Fridays, the campers would also have a treat for lunch, the camp-supplied pizza from Main Street Pizza.

Once it was time for the final performance, the children put on their matching lime green camp shirts and decorated hats that symbolize certain parts of the songs. The seven songs this year were: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", "The Itsy Bitsy Spider", "Peanut Butter and Jelly", "I Like Ants", "Love Grows", "Gimme Ice Cream", and "Singing in the Rain."

Jennifer Kosilla is the music teacher (or Ms. Music Maker to the children) at the TOT Camp .

"I feel that the children did very well this year because all of the songs that they had to learn either had movements or sign language in them," she said.

Anna Wray, a second year counselor, was one of the many counselors who stood out at camp this summer.

"I enjoyed teaching the kids this summer and working with them because I feel a sense of accomplishment and productivity at the end of the summer," she said. "I feel like each camper learned something new this summer; whether it may be treating others with equal amounts of respect or how to prepare themselves for their coming years in kindergarten."

One of the many great things about the TOT Camp is that a large portion of the counselors return for multiple summers, which allows the campers to see familiar faces.

"The staff was committed and dedicated to their campers and both had a great time this summer," said Rose Pichardo, the director of the TOT Camp. "It was a total success."
