What is Choral Camp?
Rosedale’s Choral Camp is an exciting adventure that intertwines learning music with lots of fun recreational activities. The camp is upbeat and positive, reflecting the philosophy that music is God’s gift to the church and is cause for celebration. We focus on the basics of sight reading music and singing in parts, but we also branch out into other programs such as string ensembles and band.
The camp accepts students who have completed grades 2 through 8 and have not yet entered grade 9. Campers vary in their musical skills from the untrained to those who have taken lessons for many years. All students, regardless of their training, have the opportunity to advance their musical skills to a higher level.
We will run two identical camps in 2026:
Camp One:
July 6-10
Camp Two:
July 13-17
