Thank you for your interest in St. Paul's Summer Musical Camp! The camp runs Monday-Friday, August 8-12, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. In one week, the children will learn the music and make the props and costumes for a detective mystery: THE BIG FISH: JONAH'S WHALE OF A TAIL. 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. Please consider whether your younger child is ready to focus in this setting.
Each day, the kids will move through singing, simple choreography, snack, and art projects to prepare the costumes, set, 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.
There are a few speaking lines with most of the story sung by the whole group. 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 July.
We ask a small donation of $15 per family to offset camp costs. (Scholarships available.) Look for an email with payment options after registration.
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.
We encourage all children to be vaccinated against covid. If community spread increases such that the CDC recommends mask-wearing in public settings, the camp will be cancelled and camp donations refunded.
This camp is run completely by volunteers. Please consider volunteering to help or donate snacks! See below for details.
