For 2 weeks every summer, voices gathered in song float among the hemlocks of the Berwick United Church Campground. A wonderful and magical place, it has been the home of the NSCF Sing Summer program for 33 years, each year welcoming over 275 singers in two weeks of programs. Cute, multicoloured cabins, indoor and outdoor rehearsal and activity spaces, and the centre pavilion, make it the perfect location to sing, to learn, to connect, and to become a part of the choral community.

YCC provides an opportunity for teenage campers to develop their skills as choral singers under the guidance of excellent instructors. The camp experience exposes teen singers to many styles of great choral literature, from madrigals to contemporary music. The skills and knowledge introduced are fundamental tools for musical growth and often become the foundation for a lifelong love of singing.

In addition to the great musical and social activities, YCCers tell us this week is a wonderful opportunity to step away from their busy worlds and just hang out together in a cool, relaxing place. It’s a place where young people can be themselves, where people are accepted for who they are, and where music binds everyone together. It’s a place for drama, dance, musicianship training and great food. It’s a place for Hollywood night, pyjama breakfast, and theme supper. It’s a place of laughter, sunshine and song. But most of all, it’s a place for you! The week ends with a concert for family members and friends.
