Our Junior High Band students recently returned from an incredible overnight retreat at Camp Nakamun.

This trip was about more than just hitting the right notes—it was an opportunity for our young musicians to bond as a team, push their technical skills to the next level, and enjoy some well-earned fun in the great outdoors. A huge thank you to the staff at Camp Nakamun for the delicious food and warm hospitality, and to our parent chaperones who helped make this trip possible.
