Modeled after the highly acclaimed High School Vocal Institute, the middle school program provides students with an opportunity to study and  learn from some of the country's leading educators in the field of children’s music.

Middle School Vocal Camp will be under the direction of Patricia Thel. The weeklong, residential camp is designed as a complete program of carefully supervised musical and social activities.

Participants will learn the fundamentals of music through classes in basic theory and music reading. Daily voice classes help to expand their personal potential. Students personalize their program by choosing from elective classes in conducting, handbells, dance and movement, art and drama. Choir rehearsals are held several times throughout the day. Lois Laverty, Westminster voice professor emerita, and Patricia Thel will direct the students in a final staged and abridged production of The Pirates of Penzance at the end of the week.
