Summer Music Camp 2022 will feature the musical “Out of this World,” a musical about being prepared to give a reason for belief in God (1 Peter 3:15). Thomas, a senior camper at Camp Apologia, is so excited about the annual Perseid Meteor shower campout that he cannot sleep the night before. During the campout, visitors from another world arrive and raise questions about God. Is it all a dream? Are Thomas and his friends prepared to answer their questions? Come find out!
The musical will be accompanied by a live orchestra and live-streamed on Facebook, so family members and friends who are unable to attend can watch the performance.
St. Luke's Summer Music Camp is a great place for budding performers to develop performing skills and it is a safe and encouraging environment that grows their faith. Many campers have continued to pursue performing in school and community events.
We take care to support each performer in their respective duties: soloists receive vocal coaching; actors are coached on general principles of theater and drama; scripture readers are coached on their delivery and pronunciation (some Bible words are tricky!).
Every day, we have a guest musician who demonstrates and discusses an instrument. Campers are given time to ask questions directly to the guest musician.
With respect to spiritual growth, there will be two devotionals every day. Devotional 1 is for all campers and unpacks our theme verse, 1 Peter 3:15. Devotional 2 is for grades 5-8 and introduces older campers to Christian apologetics and to strategies for grace-filled conversations about faith.
During the week, campers will be in two main locations, fellowship hall and the sanctuary. Occasionally, campers will be taken aside in small groups for vocal coaching, scripture coaching, and staging.
