We will be offering a two-week music education camp that will run Monday-Friday from 10:00-11:30 a.m. from July 28th - August 8th.  The curriculum - Growing in Grace - will be taught by music professionals and is a comprehensive, scriptural-based music curriculum engaging multiple learning styles, developed by proven music educators and children's choir experts.  Instruction will include age-appropriate hands-on activities & games that teach children how to read music, singable texts, use of hand bells and percussion instruments, and more.
