Getting The Spirit - About


About Getting The Spirit Gospel Camp

Our goals for this camp are:

  • to provide singers with an opportunity to learn from the best choir directors of New Orleans.
  • To build a strong partnership between the Gospel community of Europe and the Gospel community of New Orleans
  • to offer a camp environment where we could learn more about the spiritual music called Gospel and how it connects not only to the soul, but to the culture as well.
  • to partner with an American choir and sing together
  • to offer the opportunity to sing Gospel in a Southern Baptist Church
  • to focus on education, communication, and cultural exchange

all built on the foundation of having fun. For a complete history of the development of the camp, click here.

We have arranged several fun events, including attending a Baptist church service, a cross cultural collaboration with a local Gospel choir, and the opportunity to sing together with our newfound choir colleagues in a Southern Baptist church service at the end of the camp. Our promise is a week you won't soon forget. We look forward to meeting each and every one of you and singing together!
