This week, Interlochen Arts Discovery day campers are learning about storytelling.
They created their own original stories using Mad Libs, and then they visited IPR to record those stories.

Each group's story will be featured on Classical IPR Fridays at 9 a.m. in the coming weeks during Classical Storytime with Kate Botello.
