Camp Singalier: the ultimate summer show choir camp

THE WOODLANDS, Texas - For entertainers and performers who are kindergarteners all the way up to eighth graders, there is one particular camp to sign up for next summer. This past June, Camp Singalier once again enriched its young campers about show choir, providing a creative, fun and memorable final performance with all their campers. With several activity stations operating throughout the day, campers were able to enjoy crafting, learn dances, sing along with music, fuel up at snack time, as well as play and have fun during recreation time.

Preparing for the campers, choir members and camp counselors separated into their activities, coordinated dances, music and crafts that would best entertain their campers. At each activity, campers were given guidelines, but also were able to express themselves freely, whether it was in dance, crafts, or music.

By stepping up their advertising throughout schools and newsletters in the area, they successfully had over 100 registered campers; a new record for Camp Singalier. By holding this camp in the summer, The College Park Choir and the Rhythm-n-Blue show choir is able to raise money for their trips, competitions, costumes and is most importantly “able to reach younger generations who will become the future of College Park Choir,” said Mary Robbins, the College Park Choir President. “We want to show them the friendship and performance opportunities they have available to them, especially in high school.” Campers and camp counselors also took part in a dress up day, dressing as mermaids, iconic Marvel superhero’s and Disney Princesses.

“Whatever makes the camp more fun,” said Robbins. “What kid doesn’t like dressing up?” Student Director of Rhythm-n-Blue, Kayla Lubecki, also loved the opportunity to play with the campers and fuel their excitement for show choir.

The showcase performance held on the last day of camp invited family and friends to cheer on their excited campers. With performances including mash-ups and props, the campers’ favorite part was the “Concert Etiquette Rap,” a rap-inspired song and dance created to teach students proper concert etiquette. Campers learned this song earlier in the week and were encouraged to show their parents at home before their final concert to also familiarize them with concert etiquette.

“The most rewarding part about this week-long camp is seeing the campers continue to love and grow their passion for music,” said Robbins.
