Summertime is like an alternative universe on a university campus. Instead of the usual hordes of undergraduate and graduate students making their way across campus, we hear the battle cries of elementary camp kids playing games outside our windows. Here at Hutchinson Hall, we have been home to Seattle Children's Theatre camps and the International Stunt School.
