Details of Streams
Instrumental Stream
Children will participate in one instrumental activity during the week. In order to accommodate all children and ensure electives have appropriate numbers you are required to provide two preferences.
This will be a chance for everyone to experience the fun and excitement of playing an instrument. Whether you already play or join Percussion Rules, there will be something for everyone
Band
For those who have been learning for 6 months or more our band will include brass, woodwind and percussion; this will be a fantastic ensemble experience.
Percussion Ensemble
We all have the ability to play an instrument. Maybe your introduction to this wonderful experience will be through percussion. Come along and enjoy playing the full range of instruments on offer in the percussion family.
Ukelele Ensemble
Four strings for you to strum, whether you have a little or no experience on this fantastic Hawaiian instrument! From strumming patterns and chords to simple melodies, you'll be playing songs right away in the ukulele band!
Creative Stream

Drama
Are you the ‘dramatic’ type? Do you think you could tell a great story? Then the Drama Elective is for you!! Challenge yourself as you work in a group to express the creative gifts you have. Come for the fun... stay for the story.
Dance
Dance at this year's camp will be for the energetic! We'll challenge ourselves to use our bodies in worship, and have fun in the process.
Visual Arts
Sometimes the best way to express something is to create something. A creator creates - when the viewer remakes. Here is your opportunity to bring to life your ideas. You have been created now show your creator how creative you are! Bring an art shirt and you imagination. .
Music Improvisation
Here’s your chance to learn how to create new melodies over a cycle of chords. It’s not as hard as you think. Come along and give it a try! [Participants should have at least 12 months experience on their instrument]
Vocal Stream
All children will participate in vocal activities.
Developing your skills on an instrument happens so much quicker when you can learn how to listen. We will develop our listening skills in a fun way and experience the joy of singing through learning some really cool songs.
