Camp Electric–for those too young to do Cornerstone solo

  • What are the dates of Camp Electric?

    You can choose from the following:
    June 28 – July 2
    July 5 – July 9

  • What is a typical day?

    Each day Camp Electric will start with a worship service. Worship services include praise and worship and also a word from a gifted speaker. Worship will take place every morning and kick off our day; we want the tone of the camp to be all about the talents we have been given, and giving those talents back to Christ. The rest of the day will be filled with sessions for the entire camp group, instrument specific sessions with just your instrument, and smaller sessions broken down into levels of experience on your instrument. You will also have free time each evening where you will have the opportunity to choose from various activities or just choose to chill out with friends. Each night will end with a concert from one of today’s top Christian bands.

  • Where will Camp Electric be held?

    Trevecca Nazarene University located in Nashville, TN (www.trevecca.edu) will be host location of Camp Electric. Not only will this university provide a secure environment, but will also be the perfect spot as it is located in the heart of the Music City. 

  • Why do we do Camp Electric this way?

    Most churches and now even youth groups have a worship team and praise band. Camp Electric has designed its program to come along side the local church to assist in the development and growth of Christian musicians. While Camp Electric is only one week, we package what we believe will be the necessary tools and resources to help each individual/band in their development to attain to the highest level of musicianship.

  • What is the difference between Camp Electric and other music camps?

    Camp Electric’s belief is that actual music (no lyrics) is amoral. That is, neither moral nor immoral. However, song lyrics have the ability to speak life or death. The main difference of our camp is that we encourage all of our students whether they are pursuing secular or Christian music to pursue their walk with Christ first. We actually encourage all types of music-Christian and secular. With that said, we also teach kids that the lyrics we meditate on and the artists we admire do matter. There will be no explicit lyrics at Camp Electric or admiration for artist that use them. “You wouldn’t put garbage in your mouth, so don’t put it in your mind.” All instructors at Camp Electric have personally given their testimony of Jesus Christ and seek to use their music to glorify Him.

  • How old to I have to be to attend?

    Camp Electric is for those between the ages of 13 to 18.
