Imagine sixty kids singing and playing music to the Lord. What a glorious sound it would be, right? This is the ministry of Music Camp… to give children a chance to see how fun using music to praise the Lord can be! Like Vacation Bible School, which is held the same week in the mornings, this venue encourages the participation of children in a week-long camp format.
Music Ministry staff and volunteers work together each year to organize and orchestrate a summer music camp. It’s an opportunity for students and parents alike to experience the joy of praising God through music. Musical experience is not necessary to participate!
At Pender’s Music Camp, rising second through sixth graders sing in choir, play Orff instruments, ring handbells, experiment with rhythm in a percussion class, learn to read music, and make crafts. Older youth are always welcome to help out as teaching assistants.
Friday afternoon traditionally concludes with a musical performance, complete with costumes and choreography, which our campers perform for friends and family!

We had 150 children plus their families attend on Monday and everyone had a great time learning about the true meaning of Easter and enjoying egg hunts, crafts, and the Easter Bunny. To see the happy faces and the great joy of this most beautiful day, click on this link.
Special thanks to Sowmya Subramanian and Harmonie Taddeo for heading up this event and to ALL of the many volunteers who helped make this day so special.
