The Middle School Vocal Camp provides a diverse offering of musical experiences. All participants sing in the Foster Camp Middle School Choir, led by Associate Professor of Vocal Music Education and Musical Theatre at Eastern Kentucky University, Dr. Jill Campbell. This a unique educational opportunity for middle school aged students to participate in a summer choral experience. Students will attend vocal masterclasses, work in small and large ensembles, attend classes on musical theatre, and much more. The choir performs a wide variety of choral repertoire  with a public performance on the final day of camp.
