Sherwood Forest Summer Camp serves children from low-income households and underserved communities in Missouri and Illinois, who live at or below the federal poverty line. We strive to establish and sustain long-term relationships with our campers, their families, and the agencies and schools that serve them. By balancing traditional camp adventures with evidence-based programs that reinforce and support school-year learning, Sherwood Forest connects with, educates, and inspires the youth of St. Louis. Sherwood Forest’s Quest program is designed for children in 1st-9th grades who live in the St. Louis region.
Friendly and fun, auditions at The St. Louis Children’s Choirs are a great way for us to get to know one another. Auditions consist of your child singing a short song followed by a short informational meeting. A singer's ensemble placement is based on age, skill, maturity, and availability. The St. Louis Children's Choirs has an ensemble for every singer!
