This year, campers will learn, rehearse, and perform Fish Tales 2: Good Fish for Resurrection Day, a fun and engaging musical that shares the powerful story of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.
As they prepare for the performance, campers will discover what made Good Friday "good," why the resurrection changes everything, and how Jesus revealed Himself alive to His disciples after rising from the dead.
The week will culminate in a special performance on Friday, July 10, for parents and family members to enjoy as campers share all they have learned throughout the week.
Please register by June 19 so we can send scripts and listening tracks in advance, allowing students to begin preparing for auditions on the first day of camp. Early registration also helps us order camp t-shirts and finalize production materials.
We can't wait to see our young performers bring this meaningful and exciting story to the stage!
