Retreat
September 23 - 25, WTCC Apprentice and Concert Choirs are going to Hidden Falls Ranch. Hiking, swimming, rock-climbing, zip-lining, horses and . . . oh yes, singing! We will car-pool to the ranch, spend Friday and Saturday having fun and learning music for fall, and return home after a mini-concert for parents on Sunday. Most of the cost of camp is underwritten by grant funding, and we need EVERYONE to attend to get a head start on the music for our fall and Christmas concerts. We are also looking for parent chaperones who will either help car-pool, or come spend the weekend with us at camp. Good times!
