Meet the 3 C’s of your learning experience:

Choir. Class. Choral Festival.

Rudiments

Rudiments 1: Notation – a study of the elements of basic notation, simple time signatures, note and rest values, and accidentals.

Rudiments 2: Scales & Keys – a study of major scales, major key signatures, and compound time signatures. If you sign up for Rudiments 2, you will receive a placement test to make sure you are in the right class.

Sight-Singing

Sight-Singing aims to help you read new music as easily as you read a newspaper. Students learn various tips to help in sight reading, and have opportunities to practice skills through class exercises.

Sight-Singing is divided into Levels 1–2. You should choose the Sight-Singing level that corresponds to your Rudiments class level. If at camp you find this is too high or low for you, you can switch classes.

Leading Congregational Worship

TBD

Class Voice

TBD

Congregational Workshop

These workshops involve practicing singing skills as a congregation. They will strengthen your congregation’s singing ability while introducing important musical concepts and hymn book skills that will help grow your church singing. All students will attend congregational workshops.

These sessions are also open to the public – all are welcome!

Learning New Songs

Rediscovering the Music of the Hymnal

Children's Musical Skills

When we first start school, we learn about letters, how letters form words, and how words form sentences. In musical skills class, we do the same thing – only with music. Students will learn about notes, rhythms, rest, pitches, and how they all fit together to form a song. Learning how music works will strengthen their choir experience as they get skills to help them read unfamiliar music.

Join the choir and experience the joy of singing in a group.
Students say it’s their favorite part of camp!
Choir is a fun way to put the things you’re learning in class into practice.

Two Adult Mixed Choirs
These are choirs with men’s and women’s voice parts. Each full-time student will be assigned to a mixed choir.

Adult Mass Choir
All students can participate in the mass choir, as well as community members who aren’t taking other classes.

Children & Youth Choirs
Ages 7-10 and ages 11-14

Chapel is both a time of worship and a time to strengthen your ability to worship in singing.

In chapel, we reflect on the meaning of worship as it is taught in Scripture and we respond to God in love and obedience. At the same time we practice worshiping God. Chapels help to orient the focus of camp around what really matters: God’s presence and his kingdom.

These sessions are open to the public – all are welcome!

Learning New Songs – Thursday, July 9, 7:00 PM
Rediscovering the Music of the Hymnal – Friday, July 10, 7:00 PM
