Worship Arts Camp is the perfect camp for kids who love to dabble in the arts. For five fun days kids get to worship through the arts choosing one musical instrument and an add on art focus from a wide variety of classes. Worship Arts Camp gives kids a chance to try something new without the commitment of private lessons or buying an instrument.
We offer a ton of classes to ensure small group environments so that kids get the attention and training they deserve. On the final day of camp the children get to perform a miniature concert with their peers showcasing what they learned during the week. We hope to see you this summer at Worship Arts Camp.
