Family Handbell Camp is back! Join us in June for 3 1/2 fun-filled days of ringing, learning, sunshine, and fun! Ringers and non-ringers of ALL ages are welcome. Child care for campers ages (4 - 6) will be provided during morning workshop and rehearsal sessions at no charge. Additional arrangements may be made with the child-care provider on an individual basis.
There will be fun free-rings and workshops in crafts, origami, and bells (of course!), with plenty of time for swimming, touring the Maine Coast, or evening hikes to the ice cream shop. Following in true camp tradition, there will be early morning "Bells for the Birds," a Variety Show, Sunday morning worship service, and a fabulous closing concert.
More Event Details
The registration fee covers room, board, all activities, music, and a t-shirt. Just bring your gloves, music binders, and swim suits! Housing and meals will be hosted by the Oceanwood Camp and Conference Center. Specific housing information and room selection will be made available in March.
The tentative schedule to the left includes eight divisional rehearsals and many opportunities for workshops and activities. Download the Workshop Listing to find details on the workshops that will be offered, and the conductors and clinicians that will be joining us to make this one of the best Friends and Family Handbell Camps ever!
