FAQs

*When is camp?
The dates for youth music week is always the first Sunday after July 4th. Please visit this year's tab at the top of the page for a list of this year's dates.

*How do I register for camp?
Click on the "Forms" tab at the top of the screen. Print, fill out and mail that form (along with your payment) to the address listed on that page. You can also print a medical form from that page to bring with you to camp.

*I'm going into the 6th grade. Can I come anyway?
Because Youth Music Week is for students entering 7th grade-20 years old, it's a little complicated to have students younger than 7th grade with 20 year old campers. Please consider Girls or Boys week until you are old enough to attend Youth Music Week.

*What do I need to know about registration?
Registration will take place from 2-3pm on the Sunday that camp starts and will be held in the Education Building. (For camp dates, click on this year's tab at the top of the page.) You will need to have a completed Medical Form (see the "Forms" tab) and payment. During registration, we will confirm your payment and you will be assigned to a cabin with those close to your age and the same gender.  We will begin promptly at 2pm and try our best to make things go as quickly and smoothly as possible!

*I heard something about a concert. Can you tell me more?
During music week, we prepare to give a concert of the things we've learned (choral music and things learned in classes). Campers and staff will perform that concert on the last day at the conclusion of camp. We will also perform a concert at a local church on Wednesday night. For more details and locations of these concerts, visit this year's tab at the top of the page.

*What should I wear while I'm at camp?
Campers should plan to dress for summer weather and lots of walking. We will not allow campers to wear clothing with inappropriate wording or pictures. Because this is a co-ed camp, please bring clothing with appropriate coverage that is modest and respectful and would not cause members of the opposite sex to be tempted. Campers wearing clothing that is inappropriate in any way will be asked to change immediately. Campers should bring a nicer outfit (church attire) to wear for our Wednesday night concert.  

*I want to work at camp. What should I do?
Our staff members must be friendly, possess good leadership qualities and be in love with Jesus. Being on staff at Truett Camp is fun, but it's also exhausting and a LOT of hard work, so you must be willing to put forth a great amount of effort, both before and during camp.
