Thrilling Thursday

Don't let the lack of posting today fool you; it's certainly not because there wasn't anything to post! We've just been really busy getting ready for the big show. As our weekend performances near, we're trying to get everything together, from lyrics to choreography, from sets to props.

Of course, the campers have been hard at work nailing down their songs:


And they're working hard with their choreography:


They're even working hard making their crafts:


They've been playing hard, too! Today was kids' choice, and campers could play games or enjoy a "spa" with manicures, pedicures and hairstyling. Everybody got to take a turn in a bounce house, too!


We're so thankful for all of our super servants who have been working hard, too! It takes a lot of volunteers to make Music Camp happen, and we have been blessed with a bunch of great people willing to share their time and talents with our kids. Thanks, volunteers!

More Wednesday highlights

The rehearsals continue! Our campers have been working hard to learn the songs, the solos and their choreography.


After all that hard work, our kids were ready to get out in the sunshine to play games with Jamba.








Our junior campers really enjoyed their strawberries for today's afternoon snack!


What a busy day! With just two more camp days to go until our performances, everyone's getting excited!

Don't forget: The musical will be performed at 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in the Family Center. You won't believe how much these kids have learned this week!

Work and play

As Tuesday morning continued, our groups were busy rehearsing, learning choreography and working on today's craft: their own books!


By lunch time, we were all ready for a break.


We were ready for chicken nuggets, too!



After lunch our "junior campers" (volunteers' kids) played a game to release some energy.

Meanwhile, our older campers enjoyed some fresh air on the playground.

Terrific Tuesday

After our introductory activities this morning, our campers were assigned their spots on the risers.

Since we have 71 campers, this took a while, but the kids were very patient and well-behaved while we found a spot for everyone.

We've been so impressed with the campers' great attitudes!

Our props crew is already hard at work
getting ready for the show, too!

It's all smiles around here!

Hard at work

Amid all the games and crafts and food, we have a musical to put together! Tami Tune worked with our campers in the Café first. They sounded great!

Tami encouraged all the campers to listen to their CDs tonight to review today's songs and get ready for the rest of the songs in the musical.

Later the campers tried out the stage for the first time, running through the first three songs in the show.

Again, we're so excited that this week has finally arrived. Check back throughout the week for more of this behind-the-scenes look at Music Camp 2008!

The countdown continues...

Only two days of rehearsals remain before our big premiere on Saturday night!
