Aspiring Performers are Invited to Take Part in PCC’s Summer Camp Experience
Pensacola, Fla. – March 2025 – The Pensacola Children’s Chorus (PCC) Is seeking aspiring performers to participate in this summer’s performing arts camps! Students entering grades 1–12 are invited to sing, dance and perform their way through 4 weeks of interactive offerings specifically designed for young artists of all levels. Camps run from June 16 through August 2. Each experience provides a week of dynamic learning complete with performances for family and friends.
Find your mark center stage with PCC’s Spotlight Series, a fast-paced weeklong rehearsal experience culminating in a fully staged musical. This program is open to young performers entering grades 1–6. This year’s Spotlight theme will be Two for the Show, two mini musicals that bring the traditional folk tales of “The Little Red Hen” and “The Three Billy Goats Gruff” to life. Campers will learn important lessons about teamwork, kindness and generosity while having fun singing and dancing. Spotlight will meet June 23–28, with a final performance of Two for the Show the afternoon of June 28.
Get on your feet with PCC’s Dance Intensive. Singers in grades 7–12 are invited to this high intensity experience, featuring daily workshops and routines rooted in diverse styles of dance. From ballet to hip hop, jazz to tap and everything in between, this week is a sure win for those looking to take the next step in their dancing journey. Led by PCC’s motivational and incredibly talented choreographers, this camp runs July 8–12. Friends and family are invited to a special showcase during the morning of July 12.
Level up your vocal musical skills with JumpstART! During weekly meetings, participants in grades 6–12 will work with PCC’s vocal instructors to improve their technique and advance their music reading skills. JumpstART is perfect for singers who wish to grow as independent musicians. JumpstART meets on Mondays throughout June and July.
Complete your summer fun activities with Summer Festival, the quintessential PCC camp experience. For new elementary and middle schoolers in grades 1–8, this unique fusion of choral performance, movement and music education is the best way to sample all that PCC has to offer during our regular season. Designed for new and returning singers alike, this music-filled camp experience will meet July 28–August 2, culminating in a dynamic performance for friends and family to enjoy the afternoon of August 2. Singers will also be invited back to perform selections during a Sunday worship service at First Baptist Church of Pensacola the morning of August 3.
