We're looking forward to a great time this summer at our Music & Worship Arts Camp, July 18 - 22, at Eagle Eyrie Baptist Conference Center.
Information for registration, class sign-ups, costs, food and lodging are available at our web-site.  Classes are available on a first-come, first-served basis. There will also be an opportunity for campers to audition for the Virginia Baptist All-State Groups and the entire camp will participate in a video of the Resurrection Day dance--a portion of which will be shown at the annual meeting of the BGAV in November.  Hope to see you and your campers there!
