WorldSongs Vocal Camp is an intensive experience. Everyone is welcome, whatever your musical background or training, but the camp is meant for those who really love to sing and who feel that learning new songs, rehearsing and singing all day long is a taste of paradise.

A typical day will include three rehearsal times (morning: 9:30-11:30, afternoon: 2:30-5:00 and evening: 7:30 -9:00), as well as opportunities for small group and individual instruction.

Leading the singing will be Alan Gasser, Dr. Kathy Bullock and Njacko Backo.

After several hours of practice in a day, singers sometimes like to spend a free evening singing together! There will be an opportunity for those who wish to perform in an in-house cabaret or talent show towards the end of the retreat to strut their stuff! We will also perform together in a public concert at the end of the camp.

There will be at least one afternoon of free time, so that you can rest and rejuvenate at a local beach on Georgian Bay, hike through the woods at Sugar Ridge, canoe at Wye Marsh Conservation Center or tour about and see some of the historic sights in the area.

Sleeping accommodation is shared and singers will join in light cooking and cleaning duties together. A few tenting spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Along with our love of world music, Canadians love to eat food from around the world. Our meals will be simple, healthy, plentiful, fresh, eclectic and delicious.

Susan Reid, our fabulous cook from previous camps is back by popular demand. Specific dietary needs will be taken into account in our planning, as much as possible.

Eating meals together is very much a part of the shared community of the WorldSongs experience. We have a food coordinator on staff to organize meals but we all help in the prep, serving and cleanup. Expect your co-campers to burst into spontaneous song while doing the dishes, setting the table and sharing in preparing the daily meals.

The 2013 camp starts on the afternoon of Mon. August 5th and ends with an afternoon concert in the Midland area on Sun. August 11th. Midland is 1.5 hours north of Toronto.

Shared Cabin Accommodations: $825 per singer

Camping (bring your own gear): $700 per singer

A limited number of small bursaries are available depending on enrollment.
