Friends Music Camp
If you have feedback, questions, comments, or suggestions about the website, please contact the webmaster. |
"FMC is one of the best camps I've ever been to. It inspires both musically and spiritually. " As a Quaker camp, we value Friends' ideals of community, equality, integrity, peace, and simplicity; as a music camp, we value musical growth and development. This intersection of Quakerism and music makes FMC unique. We invite campers of all musical levels with the knowledge that they will be challenged musically and with the belief that each camper adds something important to the strong community we create each summer.
Our community is also strengthened through collection, a daily period of silent worship in the Quaker tradition. During collection, campers and staff gather to reflect, worship, and connect to each other spiritually and personally. Ohio Valley Yearly Meeting sponsors the operation of Friends Music Camp. The Yearly Meeting makes an annual contribution to the camp's scholarship fund and appoints a board of directors to govern the operation of FMC. A report is made about Friends Music Camp annually at Yearly Meeting sessions. Barnesville is an area rich in Quaker history. Stillwater Meetinghouse, home of Ohio´s oldest yearly meeting is right on the Olney campus.
