Are You Ready for Summer Camp?

Sharpen your pencils, grab your backpack and head out to Queen Creek, AZ, June 19-22 for CAMP CONNECTION, the 2025 Golden West Region 21 Summer Seminar. On hand as Faculty will be the amazing duo of Lori Lyford and Jana Gutenson, who are preparing exciting education for all attendees. Our 2025 Quartet Champions, Uproar, will also be there to share a brand new class to inspire all singers, especially for those in quartets.

The recent Region 21 contest proved yet again that our excellent education programs produce champions. All chapter members should be encouraged to attend and this weekend is especially important for your newer members.

There are exciting highlights in store:

Think of it as Speed Dating—Sweet Adelines style! In this fun and fast-paced segment, you'll get to explore a variety of topics you've always wanted to learn more about. Choose the subjects that interest you most and spend 10 minutes at a table with an expert in that area. Topics include finding new music, choreography help, improving your chorus’s information systems, marketing tips, how to shine in your voice part, and so much more. It’s your chance to get quick, valuable insights—one table at a time

Exciting updates for the DQ and Golden Banana Contest! New rules will allow acts to include singers who aren't able to attend the entire weekend. Plus, singers can now participate in more than one DQ act! Keep an eye on the website—registration and full contest rules will be available in the coming week.
