…Minnesota Hills that is :)

In the Diocese of Minnesota, this August will be the Episcopal Youth Music Camp (EYMC) located at Camp Heartland, an hour and half north of the twin cities, Minneapolis/St.Paul.

EYMC started, or has its roots in a choir camps in the 60′s  and this program started in summer 2001.

It is for 3rd – 12th graders, all skill levels and musicians in the diocese of Minnesota are most welcome to go.  And Faith Formation is God is at the center of the entire day.  “We begin with Chapel in the morning and close with Camp Fire/Chapel at night.  God is at the center of our music rehearsals, arts & crafts, field games, swimming pool activities, evening activities, meals and all that we do for fun.  God is present.”

Major variety of program:

  • Choral training, sight reading, and music theory
  • Hand Bells
  • Instruments: Band & Orchestra
  • Recorders & Key Board Instruction
  • Choreography & Drama

Great Practice – Staff Video welcoming people to camp and informing youth and parents about what it about!!!
