About the Camp
- From Scripture to Stage: Youth Christian Drama and Performance Camp is an exciting new drama camp where young performers have an opportunity to put their faith, energy and talent into action!
- All performers will experience the Bible and other Christian texts come to life as they creatively present the transformational power of the gospel message through choral speaking, movement, dramatic presentation and praise and worship.
- Campers will explore the dynamic, vibrant relationship between the theatre, dramatic arts and the word of God.
- Older campers will also learn to script some of the Bible's powerful stories of personal and generational transformation.
- From Scripture to Stage aims to give young performers a taste of the beauty and creative-potential of God's spoken word.
- It also seeks to develop and strengthen the relationship between ministry, missions and the dramatic arts.
A Day at the Camp
We will begin each day with a short time of devotion facilitated by the camp leaders. The first portion of the morning will be spent learning various aspects and techniques of performance through games and workshops. We will then break for snack. For the remainder of the day, campers will be divided into age appropriate groups to work on the material to be presented by the whole group during Friday evening's performance. Camp is staffed by 4 full-time and 2 part-time Christian workers with extensive experience in the performing arts and youth ministry. You can read the staff's bios here.
Please join us for a week of power packed performance wonder!
