Thank you for your interest in St. Paul's Summer Musical Camp! The camp runs Monday-Friday, July 15-19, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. In one week, the children will learn the music and make the props/set for IN THE IMAGE
, a musical that explores how God made us to be creative like He is! On Friday evening (7 p.m.), the children will present the musical to the community, accompanied by instrumental ensemble and celebrated with an ice cream social.
No prior experience is required, but children should have a positive attitude and an eagerness to learn. Daily attendance is required for a successful Friday performance. The camp is open to children entering grades 1-7 (Fall 2024). Please consider whether your younger child is ready to focus in this setting.
Each day, the kids will move through singing, simple choreography, art work, and snack to prepare the set, costumes, and publicity. The camp aims to promote healthy singing, creativity, regard for others, and an understanding of God's love for us. All activities take place in the church buildings, and children will be divided into two age groups.
This year's musical features 13 speaking roles. Children entering grades
4-8 may audition for these parts one week before the musical. The musical also offers lots of opportunity for artistic creativity, as
the kids will use "found" objects to make their own creations to share in the performance.
All children should become familiar with the musical by listening to their practice recordings before the camp. Recordings will be available for pick-up/download in late June.
We ask a small donation of $15 per family to offset camp costs. (Scholarships available.) Look for an email with payment information in late June.
Registration is limited, so please register soon! Since performance of the musical requires the leadership of older children, registration may close sooner for younger children.
This camp is run completely by volunteers. Please consider volunteering to help or donate snacks. See below for details.
