Local Music Comes to Life in Cloverdale
Cloverdale’s downtown core will resonate with live string music on Wednesday, July 17, as musicians from across Canada perform outdoors as part of the Reformed String Camp. The mini-concerts will take place from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at four public locations.
Where the Music Will Be Heard
The open-air performances will be held at Cloverdale Pharmasave, Hawthorne Square, Elena’s Cafe, and the law offices of MacMillan Tucker. Residents and visitors can expect a diverse mix of string compositions performed by camp participants of all skill levels.
A National Gathering with Local Impact
The Reformed String Camp, hosted this year by the Cloverdale Canadian Reformed Church, brings together participants aged 6 to 70 from across Canada. The event rotates annually between British Columbia and Ontario, and this year marks its return to Cloverdale after last being held here in 2023.
Purpose and Vision Behind the Camp
According to organizer Kent Dykstra, the camp is “a church-based musical gathering” aimed at offering encouragement, fellowship, and musical education for members of Canadian Reformed and sister churches. A strong focus is placed on musical leadership and mentorship.
How the Community Can Get Involved
The 19th annual Reformed String Camp will run in Cloverdale from July 14 to 19, with formal concerts scheduled at the Cloverdale Canadian Reformed Church on July 18, 19, and 20. The public is welcome to attend and support the budding musicians.
