Retreat is not camping! This retreat concentrates specifically on music in a safe, enjoyable environment while developing the ability to work and communicate with each other in a warm, respectful manner. We need time to have fun and learn as a choral team. We cram 3 weeks of class time into 12 hours of rehearsal over the weekend. The retreat is designed around servant leadership concepts and students are placed in families that cook, serve, clean and care for each other.
