RIVERSIDE, CA- Park Avenue Baptist Church presents it’s “1st KIDZ Music Camp- Courageous, Contagious Praise!” This extraordinary camp will be held on Saturday, November 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the church which is located at 1910 Martin Luther King Blvd, in Riverside.
There will be offering workshops from highly skilled Christian musicians, dance instructors and voice coaches, and Marvina “Cooky” Levy will be making a special visit for the event.
Your children will be learning about basic music theory, liturgical dance, voice as well as how to play various musical instruments. There will also be a bible class, arts and crafts and games.
