Summer Music Camp

2024 Dates TBA

We had over 390 students from all over the U.S.A. as well as from other countries, come to Moscow, Idaho to participate in our 2023 Summer Music Camp.

What if your student came out of this summer with greater musicianship? What if that also showed them how to imitate their Heavenly Father better? What if they could do all this without feeling like it was work? Sound good so far?

Enter New Saint Andrews College Summer Music Camp, a unique opportunity for students from ages five through graduated seniors in high school, to refine their music skills in fun and fulfilling ways. Students will work on singing, dancing, music theory, Bible knowledge, and more as they prepare for a final concert and folk dance. That last part is a bit of fun for the whole family too!

Students will work daily with professional musicians from New Saint Andrews College. Older students have the opportunity to try out and perform pieces of music at the camp. Professional musicians also share their musical gifts with students by performing short recitals.

Students also learn from local pastors who lead Bible classes. 

As the Triune God sings and makes music over His creation, we will grow more and more into His likeness when we seek to be joyful music makers rather than only music consumers.
