Sacred Music Info
Northland Camp is excited to offer yet another Sacred Music Camp during our week of Specialty Camps, July 26-31, 2010. Our desire for this camp is to inspire teens to love God and use the medium of music to glorify Him. The Steve Pettit and Galkin Evangelistic Teams will join together to teach and train during this week of music camp. The one-on-one instruction, performance opportunities and spiritual discipleship of this camp sets it apart from other music camps around the country. We desire to give each camper the tools needed to return home and use their music to be an encouragement to their local church.

Drama Camp Info
Do you enjoy drama? Would you like to take your script for competition to the next level? Northland Camp is excited to announce our NEW Drama Camp! Campers will learn how to create interesting and memorable characters, interact successfully with other actors on stage, as well as use the voice and body effectively. By the end of this week of camp, the entire drama camp will join together to produce a full one-act play! Our goal for this camp is bigger than just developing an ability to perform well; we desire to ignite a passion for using the medium of drama in the local church and for the glory of God. Drama and interpretive performance should not be limited to school performances and state competitions. It is a powerful tool that can be used to glorify God and encourage the body of Christ. Join us at this year's Drama Camp and learn how to use your ability more effectively!
Brock Miller, a Speech Professor at Northland International University, will be directing this year's Drama Camp. With 14 years of performing experience and 9 years of teaching experience, he has a passion for teaching young people how to use the gift of speech and drama to serve and encourage the local church.
Don't forget to bring any scripts that you are currently working on.
