The family and friends of Emitt Northup have established an “Achievement Award” in his memory. This award will be given to any camper completing 10 years of perfect attendance.
     Over the years, many campers who began tentatively as 3rd graders, go on to celebrate as veteran performers with their peers and friends as Senior campers. It is a joy to watch these kids grow as actors and see their friendships blossom into lifelong skills.
     Emitt and Terry Northup have 3 grandchildren who have come from afar to stay with them and attend the Fort Peck Performing Arts camp. Their grandchildren look forward each year to reunite with their many friends in the camp and the community and also the theatre’s professional company. Zach Pierce, the youngest in the string, will be a Senior this summer and among the first to receive the award.
    A pottery mug crafted by Daryl Northup, Emitt’s brother, along with a monetary gift will be presented to qualified campers at the final performance.
    We ask each camper to keep track of their years and to notify camp staff if they are eligible for the award.
