Katherine Semcesen is the Associate Director of [Education & Outreach](http://www.coc.ca/ExploreAndLearn.aspx) at the Canadian Opera Company. The countdown is on for this year's [Summer Opera Camp](http://www.coc.ca/exploreandlearn/children/summeroperacamp), which offers training and experience designed for teenagers, grades 7-10. Participants work with voice teachers, drama coaches, composers, set and costume designers, and fight choreographers over an intensive five-day program.

Katherine tells us about Summer Opera Camp, about having a great team to lead the program, and why it's part of a longer-term investment for the greater good. For more info on the COC's Education & Outreach programs, click [here](http://www.coc.ca/ExploreAndLearn.aspx).
