    EHC Give Back Summer Concert Series: Alumni Showcase Concert

    One of the featured performers, Shane Dittmar,  is a musician, educator, and composer.

    Chimehenge is an interactive community musical instrument of epic proportions. Created by the fanciful scientist/designers at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, It is composed of ten-foot tall chimes of various widths suspended on a frame that make musical tones when hit with mallets.

    This interactive, audible sculpture will be installed in a glen in the woods on an offshoot of the main nature trail at Enchanted Hills Camp. Enchanting indeed!

    Help us raise $25,000 for the surfacing, trail extension and installation  of Chimehenge for our blind campers.
