MUSIC CAMP

The Wehnwood United Methodist Instrumental Music Camp is open to people of
all ages! Children who have completed a year of musical experience and who
have completed grade 4-9 are invited to be a camper. Children who have
completed grade 10 or have graduated are welcomed to come to the camp as a
mentor. Mentors sit in with our campers and help out them one-on-one with
the music. This camp is intended for the kids to dust off their instruments
during the summer, learn a little more about music and God, and of course
Make a Joyful Noise. We also try to teach the kids that they are given a God
given talent with music and that they should share it to the world!

Throughout a night of camp, a student will experience a joyful devotion,
both large and small group rehearsals, and a mini-concert. There is an
amazing mini-concert that takes place at the end of camp each night. We
bring in a professional musician or artist and they explain how their
instrument works and plays it for us. Some of the instruments that have been
showcased in these mini-concerts have been bagpipes, a harp, dulcimer,
percussion, and the recorder family.

The camp leads up to a Friday night concert that has been held outside every
year as we have been blessed with beautiful weather by God every year. The
concert is held for the public and is free. The campers are recognized
during the concert and after wards there is a reception for everyone!
