April 21, 2021 -

Little did we know what was ahead when writing the new musical The Forever Adventure in early 2020. This was not supposed to be “forever” as in “let’s wait 2 years!” However, in early January 2021, when preparations would begin in earnest for a summer Music Camp, COVID-19 vaccines had just started being administered, and it was unclear how safe it would be to have MLC’s Music Camp in June.

From Deacon John E. Weit, ELCA’s Executive for Worship on April 26, 2021:

“One metric suggests a threshold of 70% to 85% of the nation’s population being fully vaccinated as a goal for safe singing in person in larger groups. This means robust singing will likely be one of the last things to fully resume. We continue to trust scientists and medical professionals as they help us to make informed decisions on important worship practices.”

For the safety of children, leaders, and the community, the premiere of The Forever Adventure will need to wait until June 6-12, 2022.

All children Kindergarten through 9th grade are welcome to experience Messiah Music Camp June 1 - 5, 2020.

Bless your child(ren)’s summer with a week of learning God’s Word, singing, and recreational fun. The week-long camp runs M-F, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a Saturday morning dress rehearsal on June 6, and Sunday morning musical presentations during worship on June 7th.

Weekday mornings are full of music, crafts, drama, recreation, worship, and a snack. After a sack lunch (from home), campers will enjoy afternoon activities like roller skating, bowling, movies, etc.

This year's all-new original musical is... (drumroll, please)

The Forever Adventure!

In the process of being written and composed, this year's musical will explore just how God conceived and carried out an elaborate, wondrous plan to fix what we broke. Follow the thread of God’s magnum opus through history …. including Dirt Adam, Mother Sarah and Father Abraham, Jacob (a.k.a. Israel), Liberator Moses, Rock Star David and Hot John the Baptist. Campers will see God had them in mind when launching The Forever Adventure!

Music & Drama

This is a music and drama camp you will not find anywhere else. Campers learn and present an original musical composed and written by Music Camp Director Lois Graff and Pastor Scott Peterson.

Music and drama instruction fills much of the morning schedule at Music Camp. Campers rehearse songs from the musical with professional music educators. Older campers are encouraged to audition for solos and speaking roles.

All costumes and props for the musical are produced in house by Music Camp volunteers.

Crafts & FUN!

Kids love to craft, be outdoors and play. Campers enjoy several age appropriate crafting projects, supervised outdoor games and afternoon field trips to mini-golf, bowl and skate.

Admission and bus transportation to these recreational activities are included in the cost of the camp.

While Music Campers bring their own lunch, campers are offered snack and rest breaks daily.
