A few weeks ago Emma had the opportunity to go to music camp at our church! She was in a musical at our church in the spring but was nervous when it came time for the actual performance, so at first when we heard about the camp she didn't want to go, but after some of her friends signed up she was thrilled to go! This year they performed Camp Wallaballa. Here's what the book's description says: Camp Wallaballais a fun musical about a group of children going to church camp. On the way to camp, they are sidetracked because their bus breaks down, but during this "speedbump" on the road, they learn some of God's promises. The promises the children learn through this musical will help provide encouragement and help in the ups, downs, and speedbumps of life.Camp Wallaballashowcases a variety of musical styles ranging from high-energy fun songs, blues, rock, ballads, hymn-arrangements, and a stomp-like rhythm number complete with fog-horns, sticks and pine-cone scrapers. Thoughtful, clever and Biblically rich songs make this musical and it's camp theme accessible and delightful for kids!
We dropped Emma off every morning at 9am and picked her up at 2:30pm. Friday evening all 70 kiddos performed the musical they learned all week in camp!
The older kiddos created and painted the set...
They had crafts, games, ate snack and ate lunch together all week!
Emma missed the first day of camp because we had family in town from North Carolina, and she was pretty bummed she didn't have a "speaking" part, but she was able to be in a group! She was the only one they trusted with the air horn :)
Here she is practicing for her "part"!
The entire "cast"...
The just completed Kindergarten & 1st grade group (Emma's group)...
The just completed 2nd, 3rd & 4th grade group...
And the just completed 5th & 6th grade group!

Emma had a blast at music camp and can't wait until next year!!!

What a fun camp!! So cool that they are able to learn the musical in just one week. And I just love the name of it too!
HAHAHA...so this play was REALLY about a church group on the way to church camp whose bus broke down?? LOL Doesn't that sound familiar?!? The next play they are going to do is about two girls who get locked in a bathroom and they are going to learn S.O.M.E.T.H.I.N.G from being stuck in there! I literally LOLed when I read this post! Did you tell Emma that this REALLY happened but she was a BABY when it happened???
