Chant Camp 2025

Monday July 7 to Friday July 11

Each year, St. Lawrence Church holds its annual week of Chant Camp for children and youth ages seven* to eighteen. Each day consists of Holy Mass, instruction from qualified musicians and seminarians, and recreation at a nearby park. All students are accepted regardless of prior experience and given assignments based on their age and musical ability. This year at the conclusion of camp, students will sing for a late morning High Mass on the Feast of Saint Pius I, Pope & Martyr, followed by a pizza party at the park.

NEW THIS YEAR: Members of the Acolyte Schola—boys with changed voices—are encouraged to participate in the Acolyte Bootcamp the week following Chant Camp, which is July 14 to 18. Those who wish to participate will be given opportunites to sing some music learned at Chant Camp and apply them to the Sung Masses during the evenings of Acolyte Bootcamp.
