Kids! Are you ready for some summertime music fun? How about an
opportunity to learn the basics of music through playing a variety of
instruments (such as guitar and rhythm/percussion) as well as singing, acting, and
learning about set design; and to top it off with putting together a musical. Then
Northminster Presbyterian Church's annual Summer Music Camp is for you!
