BC3 Summer Sing! is a day camp, open free to schoolchildren who have completed grades 3 through 5. The camp runs one full week in June, Monday and through Friday, at Hope Lutheran Church, 601 N. Front Street, Reading. Summer Sing! 2009 concluded with a special afternoon performance at the Neighborhood Appreciation Day at GoggleWorks, just blocks away from Hope Lutheran Church.
BC3 Summer Sing! welcomes any child, with or without musical training. No auditions are held. The camp is for children who want a fun summer experience with other children who like to sing. The focus is on choral singing and musical training for young treble voices.
BC3 Summer Sing! combines hard work and hard play! The combination of serious music making and traditional camp activities make BC3 Summer Sing! a unique summer experience. The curriculum includes large and small group singing, and classes in recorders, sight singing, and voice. Songs include a variety of world music, some using Orff percussion instruments. A mini concert for family and friends is presented at Hope Lutheran Church, on Friday afternoon. Each child receives an official BC3 Summer Sing! t-shirt and is provided with all music and education materials.
BC3 Summer Sing! is offered to reach more singers, particularly those who do not have the resources (financial, family, time, etc.) to commit to a full year of membership in the regular program.
