2010 Summer Choir Camps

St. Peter's will offer three music camps in the summer of 2010; click the links below for flyers about each camp in PDF form. For those whose children are not already planning to attend, consider one or more of these camps!  And please forward this information to any other parents whose boys and girls might be interested. It really is a lot more fun if kids bring friends with them and word of mouth is the best recommendation!

The three camps are:

Exploring Music (Day Camp): August 9-13 Monday-Friday 9am-1pm. Open to boys and girls entering grades 2-6.  Free!

Girls' Choir Camp (Overnight Camp): August 22-27^th Sunday afternoon- Friday afternoon. Open to girls entering grades 3-8.

Boys' Choir Camp (Day Camp): August 30- September 2 Monday-Thursday 9am-3pm. Open to boys entering grades 3-8.

Contact Barbara Snyder (bsnyder@stpetersmorristown.org or 973-538-0555, x12) for Girls' Camp medical forms and an accompanying letter.

About the Girls' Choir

The St. Peter's Girls' Choir sings for Sunday worship every other week and meets twice a week for practice, social time and education. Education includes vocal production, music theory, sight-singing, the liturgical year, and elements of music history.  The repertoire focuses on two-part treble repertoire from across the centuries, but occasionally includes four-part music sung with adults. Each girl receives a stipend that increases with experience and achievement and ribbons to signify their progress through the choir.

The girls go away for a week of choir camp each August. The choir sings services and concerts in the surrounding area as well as festivals with other choirs. The choir has sung services at Harvard University and has traveled to Bermuda and Canada to perform. New girls ages 7 and higher of any background are always welcome. The only requirements are a musical ear and a willingness to learn.
