Since 1998, Faith Assembly’s Kids Summer Music Camp (KSMC) has been engaging kids with fun, God-centered music and activities in a loving, fostering, and safe environment.

KSMC is a week-long event in two grade-specific camps:

• Country Fried Praise Camp, for kids entering kindergarten through 2^nd grade, focuses on giving kids an opportunity to learn fun songs, basic choreography skills and enjoy lots of great activities. The schedule is specially designed to keep short attention spans engaged throughout the day. At the end of the week the students will present what they’ve learned in a special performance on Sunday evening.
• In Jonah’s Druthers Camp, for kids entering 3^rd through 6^th grades, students will learn an entire musical in one week, including songs, drama, and choreography, and present the musical in a special performance on Sunday evening. Students will be given the opportunity to audition for main characters, cameo roles and solos (see CAMP INFORMATION). Also, students choose one of three learning tracks: basic music reading, basic art, or drama.
