Music & Worship Arts Camp

About Us

About the Camp

Music and Arts Camp, sponsored by the Baltimore-Washington Conference of the United Methodist Church, was started in 1974 as a Youth Choir Retreat and is presently in its 34th season. This unique experience for youth who have completed grades 6-12 offers instruction in choral music and the other arts which may be used to enhance worship. In recent years, the camp has been held at Frostburg State University in Frostburg, Maryland.

Goal of the Camp

The Goal of the Camp is to provide fun and fellowship, while better equipping students to become leaders in their home churches. Our daily schedule, while rewarding, is quite strenuous. It includes two 90-minute singing choir rehearsals, a morning worship service, four hours of elective classes, and an hour or so of recreation and free time. Evening activities include a special concert, a dance, and the always surprising talent show. We conclude our week on Saturday morning with a festival service (open to the public) which allows participants to demonstrate many of the skills they have developed during the week.
