Experience music camp like no other! Advancing band and orchestra students will learn repertoire for FULL orchestra with a performance at the end of the week. Brass, woodwind, percussion, and string players will perform together! Camp sessions will focus on sight reading, technique, ear training, ensemble development and most importantly, worship theology. Join us for a week of music and worship!
K/1st-5th Grades | Dive Into Music
This track, specifically for young musicians, will provide an engaging, worshipful and fun-filled artistic experience for children of all musical backgrounds and levels of ability. Using songs that promote a Biblical worldview and a strong theology of worship, campers will begin to develop skills for creative expression through singing, playing instruments, and a variety of games and activities. While singing in the camp choir, students will visually SEE music, including notes, rests and rhythms. In classroom sessions, they will learn what those things mean and how they work together to form music! Material will be customized for each age/skill level to keep it accessible AND exciting.
