僑務電子報報導

眾人期盼已久的密西根中華文化夏令營 ，終於突破重重困境，走出疫情的陰霾，日前在Northville 的Ward Church登場。面對疫情有回溫的趨勢， 主辦單位以高規格的防護措施來保護參加營隊活動的學員以及老師。營隊首日由密西根中文學校聯合會會長林志嘉致詞歡迎來到營隊的學員。接下來就開始五天豐富又有趣的文化之旅。

去年底特律疫情突然爆發，不得已的情況下取消了營隊。今年捲土重來，在密西根中華文化夏令營老師林曉君鍥而不捨的努力之下，營隊在疫情中浴火重生。在此營隊草創時期，篳路藍縷，林老師獨挑大樑。 在資源和人力極度匱乏的環境下，仍然打造出異彩紛呈、精妙絕倫的課程。在教室中進行的靜態課程，學員們愜意地優游在文化藝術的天地中。有栩栩如生的臉譜繪畫，琳瑯滿目的項鍊串珠，充滿文化底蘊的書法國畫，精巧細緻的摺紙，奇幻炫麗的吹畫。其中色彩鮮艷的捏麵人，維妙維肖，表情生動，最為孩子們喜愛。紙上談兵的象棋課程，更是讓學員們專注地調兵遣將，沉浸於坐鎮對弈的樂趣中。形神兼備，充滿生機的皮影戲，又是另一個熱門課程，學員們既學做也學演，臺上演的生動，臺下看得入神。文化夏令營中不可或缺的國樂課程，林老師也安排了專業的音樂老師教授曲笛課程。此外舞獅課程配合獅鼓的學習，更讓學員在實際的操作中，對這項傳統技藝有更深一層的體會和認識。營隊中最受歡迎的應該算是扯鈴，學員們在己的的練習下來，個個身懷絕技。

營隊的大家長老師林曉君，謙遜地道出感謝：「第一屆永遠都是最艱難的。今年我們有23個學員、八個志工、5位老師。我們從八月二號第一天開始到8月6號能夠圓滿結束，都得要感謝所有的老師和志工們。隊員們的每一個微笑，家長們的每一句感謝，都是我們明年要做得更好的最大動力。所以我們明年見。 」芝加哥文教中心副主任黃慶育，非常高興看到能有這樣的營隊，為下一代撥下文化的種子。「在海外文化傳承的活動是非常不容易的，尤其是在這種環境之下。然而學習中西文化的優點，是我們小朋友將來很大的優勢。 無論求學或就業， 培養國際觀的胸懷是潛移默化的。 希望未來我們能持續舉辦這類的活動。」

密西根僑務委員盧曼菁非常佩服林曉君的熱忱，讓臺灣人的第二代，甚至第三代，能有機會接觸到傳統文化。盧委員最後有感而發的表示，他的孩子也參加過這個營隊，至今仍記得那個酷熱處暑中的點點滴滴。盧委員希望明年遠離疫情後，好好計畫這個非常有意義的活動。做足準備，充分行銷，吸引更多臺裔新血輪來參與。

舉頭仰望高飛的扯鈴，襯著蔚藍的廣闊晴空，讓我們為孩子們編織夏日最動人的記憶。我們明年見。(鄭謀驥老師撰稿)
