Rachel Cornett, director of the U of A Children's Choir, said she is "so excited to kick off our first annual choir camp for community youth who want to be part of an awesome choral experience this summer! This will be such a fun opportunity to bring kids onto campus to sing, play and have a little taste of college life for a week. And we are so fortunate to have such an expert panel of directors coming in to work with these singers and share their musical passion and knowledge!"

Whether your student needs a safe space to try choir for the first time, or they are a choral enthusiast, UACC Day Camp 2022 is the place for them! Participants will rehearse as a mass ensemble, practice sight reading and receive individual attention in small group sectionals. All activities will be taught in a fun environment designed to make your student love choral music! At the end of the week, students will showcase their new skills to family and friends with a performance at the Faulkner Performing Arts Center.

Camp will meet in the U of A's George and Boyce Billingsley Music Building from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily June 27 to July 1. Expert instruction, materials, a camp T-shirt and daily lunch are included in a $175 fee for current UACC members (before May 30) and a $200 fee for non-members.
