Voices of Joy Summer Camp

What time is it?! Summertime!!! Voices of Joy will hold it's fifth annual summer music camp the first week of June (June 1-5) in Winter Springs (at Willow Creek Church). We filled to capacity last summer, so don't wait to sign up! Acting spaces will be limited and assigned on a first come, first serve basis.
It is our great joy to watch students grow in maturity, confidence and skill - and we have SO MUCH FUN while we travel on the journey!
What do we offer? Improv, Acting, Vocals, Musical Theater, and Dance! No prior experience is required.
Because Willow Creek Church supports our ministry of taking the gift of the arts into the community we are able to keep our costs very low!
There are two camps (both run the same week, June 1-5):
Voices of Joy is for students age 11-18 and runs from 10:15-3:00 Mon- Thurs. and costs $65.00 (plus a $10 per family registration fee). Students select from 4 different class options throughout the day (so one student may choose to do no dancing or singing and stick with improv and acting for the day, while another might do a musical theater number one session, improv the next, and dance for another. It is entirely up to the student as to which classes they choose). On Friday we will have a rehearsal at Willow Creek, then in the afternoon we will perform in the community, and at 6:30 in the evening there will be a family and friends performance back at Willow Creek Church.
NEW OPTION FOR ADVANCED THIS SUMMER! We are excited to be offering two advanced classes this summer.
Class #1: There is an optional advanced class from 3:15-4:15 for those wishing to push themselves to learn more challenging choreography. You do not need to already be a good singer or dancer to join the class, but you DO need to be willing to go home each evening and practice with the videos. The cost of the advanced class is $25.
Class#2: New this summer ~ we will also be offering an advanced improv class, by audition only, during the 3:15-4:15 time block. This class will cover more complex and advanced improv. Information about auditions tba. Cost of the advanced class is $25.
Voices of Joy Jr. is for students age 6-10 and runs from 11:00-12:00 Mon-Thurs. Cost is $35 (plus a $10 per family registration fee). If you have a student with a background in the arts that you believe would be a better fit for the older class, please contact me at the number listed below. **If you have an older student participating in VOJ camp and want to be able to leave your Jr. student when you drop at 10:00 (or you don't have an older student but you just want a little more time) we can arrange for a teacher to be available for games and activities. Cost is $15 for the extra time block for the week. On Friday we will have a rehearsal at Willow Creek, then in the afternoon we will perform in the community, and at 6:30 in the evening there will be a family and friends performance back at Willow Creek Church.

Anything you want me to know about you?!:
You need to read this commitment paragraph and both you and your parents need to sign it:
I understand that by signing up for this class I am committing to be on time, and present for every class (unless an emergency comes up.  Please have your parent contact me if you know of a date you will not be able to attend).  I understand that being absent will cause a delay for everyone as we will have to re-teach music or choreography that I missed.  I understand that I need to listen to my music and memorize monologues/music for class and that I will do so and be prepared for class.  I understand that if I come unprepared for class everyone in the class will be delayed in moving forward.   I understand that I need to be respectful to my teacher, the other students, and the teacher helpers.  I understand that some activities we do in class will be hard for me, but that I will try them anyway.  I agree to never make fun of another student when they are trying something in class.  I agree to not be too hard on myself when I make a mistake, but I will try again until I master what I am working on.  I realize that as we work together in class and then take our production into the community that I am representing not just myself and my family, but Christ.
