Music and Arts Immersion Camp 2024

The Basilica Music and Arts Immersion Camp 2024

A choral and arts music enrichment camp for singers entering grades 4-8.

The Basilica Music and Arts Immersion Camp is a shared ministry of The Basilica, Church of the Ascension, and Plymouth Congregational Church.

Children of diverse abilities and cultures will join together to create a musical, using music, drama and choreography, Orff (mallet) instruments, handbells, percussion, and art, all through the light of the Christian faith. Campers will also work with local artists and visit local arts organizations during the week.

Campers will present two performances highlighting their achievements on the last day of camp.

Light breakfast and snacks are included—campers bring their own lunch.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you. (Isaiah 43:2)

Where is God in the storms of life?

Composer Mark Burrows offers youth a remarkable experience to discover God’s ever-present love and care in “Storms: a new musical for unison/two-part voices, piano, and percussion.” Storms features a group of children who wonder if they have what it takes to weather storms of their own. The children unpack the Bible narrative of Jesus Calming the Storm, realizing that no matter what happens in life – Jesus is in the boat with us. No matter the storm, we are always loved and we are never alone. (CG)
