Our camp motto and goal is FELLOWSHIP THROUGH MUSIC. Our staff is all volunteer and works hard all year to ensure a great camp for all of our campers. We recruit high quality conductors to conduct our groups for the week. Our staff lives and works alongside the campers and our atmosphere is very family oriented.
