Issues that surround the focus & survival of a youth choir campArchive for November 21, 2008
why not
I wasn’t going to mention this on here, but I figured why not. As a representative of the Youth Choir Week I recently was awarded a plaque for longevity and service by my church for my help with the camp. St. Stephen’s has sent many children to the camp over the 20 years of it’s existence. This past was actually the first that we had no campers. But they felt it in thier hearts to recognize me for staying all these years and helping out. I see it as jsut a past of my life that I love. This camp has been good to me since I was ten years old. I view my help as just something I should be doing and want to do for as long as I cna imagine. But thanks to my parish and those who gave me this award on behalf of the camp.
Interview …
Hey everyone. Today I am posting an interview that I had Wednesday afternoon with Wade Cooper, keeper and overall watchkeeper of the Youth Choir Week in Cape May, NJ. We focused on the direction of the camp, but did include some brief moments of reflection over years past. Hope you enjoy! Read the rest of this entry »

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the convention is in Trenton, NJ.

Today was the announcement that the Diocese of NJ Youth Choir Week will be attending and performing at the Diocese Convention this upcoming March. This is truly big news as very few choirs get to perform at this prestigious event. There will be people and choirs from all over NJ attending, and they will get to see what a great choir we have and how much we have attained despite being such a small camp. It’s also great because the Bishop will be attending and our children will have the chance to meet him.
