What is Camp Electric?

Camp Electric is a two day boot camp designed to help form and sharpen student worship ministry teams. If you have student age band in your church (or have some kids that want to have one) this is a great way to help them grow in it. The general sessions will be geared around helping the individual grow as a worshipper, as well as having time for the worship team to decipher God’s vision for their church and ministry. Personalized Clinic times will help the band in technical aspects of ministry, based on their level of experience - either helping them form together as a band or helping the more established groups becoming more effective through stage presence tips, song transitions, worship flow, song selections, dynamics and engaging the congregation.

What is the Purpose of Camp Electric?

Growing both in skill and heart is important as a worship team. During Camp Electric we will help sharpen and form both sides. Through large group presentations, students will learn about aspects of worship, vision and leadership. Through personalized clinics, bands will be able to work together toward growing in their skills.

Who Should Attend?

We have space for eight local church student worship teams. Adult leaders are welcome to join the teams during their training, but don’t necessarily have to. There is no limit to the number of people in your band / worship team. Bring your instrumentalists, vocalists, multimedia people, and sound operators. Since music / band time will be personalized, groups can be at any stage – well established to just forming and beginning.
