Need we say more? the Q&DCAC, which Q City Singers is a part of, have done a lot to bring this program to Quesnel, and the youth have been working hard! Come out for a fun performance!
Loretta Laurin, Communications Manager from Hollyhock shared their singing programs and retreats with us via email and we thought we'd share this with you too! Just in case you're looking for something to do on your summer vacations!
A fantastic summer music camp for the whole family! For those of you who haven't heard of Jam Camp North, please read the info below sent to us by Nancy Lilienweiss Music at the lovely setting of Cottonwood house where you can rent a cabin or bring your rv/trailer, what more could you ask for? Hot Showers? You bet, they've got them too! Make fantastic summer 2018 memories!
Know people who need a great reason to visit our beautiful region? Invite them to meet you at Jam Camp North, a fantastic all-ages music camp at beautiful Cottonwood House Historic Site between Quesnel and Wells July 29 - August 2. Camp ends before the August long weekend. No experience necessary - campers can be experienced players or musical newcomers. Jam Camp is great for multi-generational families and groups - our youngest camper so far this year is 5, and the oldest is 80 - and we have four teenagers this year as well. Three families of grandparents, adult children, and grandchildren are joining us at Jam Camp North so far this year. Make special memories with your kids, grandkids, or your friends. (Adults without kids are welcome too!) How does camp work? Learn or improve your singing, percussion (from a marimba expert), guitar, accordion playing, and more in small group lessons. Campers play music in small and large groups led by excellent musicians who can help beginners or long-time musicians. Camp is relaxed, creative, and fun. Activity breaks make sure you’ll have time to read, hike, play soccer or music, or enjoy the beautiful natural setting. In the evenings, enjoy performances, campfire singing, and jamming. Rent a cabin or bring your RV or tent. Cottonwood House has hot showers and an activity building where you can share the cooking facilities. Registrations are due July 1. Links below:
The camp fee is very low, so we can welcome as many interested people as possible. We are a registered BC non profit, and Jam Camps have been running in BC for over 15 years. We're the only one in the North, and the only one with hot showers! Campers can register now and wait to pay til July 1. Questions? You can email, PM me via the facebook page, or reach me in the evenings or on weekends at 250-992-6196. Thank you, Nancy Our remaining tickets sold out the day before our concert, on Friday May 25th.
