Here are some of the things we will be offering at Camp:

WORSHIP - We will be inviting local worship leaders to join us each morning in giving praise to our King.
DEVOTIONS- Studying the Word of God will be an important part of each day. The theme for summer camp will be explored through God's Word and prayer at the beginning of each class.
WORKSHOPS- The following is a sampling of some of the workshops available.

Workshops will include:

Ballet class - according to age and ability. Learn in-depth training at barre, center and across the floor. This class will help you improve the areas of grace, coordination and flexibility.
Praise dance- focuses on the joy of praising God, an upbeat class involving many different leaps and turns.
Israeli Folk Dance - This workshop will be led by the "Israeli Celebration Dancers", as they show us yet another way to express our joy for the Lord.
Theater- Take a look behind the scenes and learn about stage makeup, props and costuming. Older students will transform their face into a character.
Crafts - The younger students will have an opportunity to make their own stick or hoop ribbon for use in worship dance.

The week will conclude Friday evening, June 27th, 7:00p.m. with a worship concert.
Students are encouraged to invite family & friends to this celebration.

Outreach:
All camp participants will be offered an opportunity to minister to the residents of a local nursing home on Thursday afternoon, June 26th. They will perform their dance and share the Love of God with those who need to hear it.
Don’t miss this exciting week!

Every day students will have a consistent class that includes devotions, warm-up, and choreography. All participants must choose a style of dance that will determine the focus of this daily class and performance piece. All selections will be divided based on the dancer’s age. Please choose one from the following categories and designate your selection on your registration form.

These three categories are:

Dramatic dance: This style involves interpreting the lyrics of a song into movement that tells a story. Facial expressions and interpretive steps will be incorporated into the choreography.

Praise dance: Instruction and choreography for this style will incorporate contemporary movements and upbeat music. The joy of the Lord will be the focal point of this type of dance.

Worship dance: A ballet like style will be the foundation of the choreography for this category. The expression of adoration to the Lord through dance will be emphasized.

Please pick one of these and mark it on your Camp Registration form.

Adult Track

Summer camp isn’t just for kids! We have classes for adults too! This is a comfortable place for you to come together for a wonderful week of worship, regardless of your age or ability.
