Choir Camp - Semester 1, 2026
About this event
QUMS organises a Choir Camp during one weekend per semester, from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. Camp will include lots of fun social activities, including a themed party on Saturday night, a revue, games night, crafts, as well as intensive workshops and rehearsals for the upcoming performances and our end of semester concert. Attendance at camp is quite important as it equates to several rehearsals worth of learning and practice time (not to mention it's a fun weekend with a bunch of cool people (if we say so ourselves)).
The price of your ticket includes:
-
Accommodation in shared, indoor bunk houses (up to 8 pax per room)
-
Use of the hall for our rehearsals, social events, etc.
-
All catering (breakfast, lunch, and dinner for full weekend campers, lunch and dinner for day trippers + tea and coffee and snacks for all)
-
Professional music direction, conducting, and accompanist for the weekend (a.k.a paying for Guillaume and Jerica's time, skills, and experience)
-
Social activities, (friendly) competitions, and good vibes.
If you cannot attend the entire weekend, consider participating in at least one day of the weekend. However, be sure to communicate with your Section Leader and the Musical Director if you cannot attend for the full weekend as we may need to work with you more closely to ensure you're caught up with the practice that you'll miss.
If you have financial concerns, we don't want you to miss out! Please do not hesitate to speak with our Treasurer, Jess, who is happy to work with you around payment plan options to help ensure your attendance without leaving you totally broke in the short term. All arrangements will be held in the strictest confidence.
IMPORTANT - so that we can help arrange lifts for those who need it, as well as knowing where people will be throughout the weekend, we require ALL MEMBERS who are attending camp to complete this transportation form, in addition to the administrative and dietary question that are asked when purchasing a ticket.
Note - We will make every reasonable effort to coordinate suitable transport for our members to and from camp, including coordinating contact between members where lift‑sharing may be helpful. Lifts are offered and accepted on a voluntary basis, and we encourage you to consider what you need in order to feel comfortable with either providing or receiving a lift. This may include meeting the person you are paired with beforehand, viewing their vehicle, or requesting/providing proof of registration and insurance. Note for those requiring a lift - there may be a small chance that we are unable to pair you with someone who can provided a lift at your prefered time/to align with your schedule. Where this occurs, we will work with you individually to determine next steps so that you don't miss out! Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
