We have less than 10 campers signed up for the Spotlight Singers choir camp which was to be held next week. We have fun running the choir camp, but it is also a fundraiser for us. Due to the small registration numbers we are canceling our camp this year. We simply can't afford to have it. We sincerely regret any inconvenience we have caused. We will return the camp fees we have received. Thank you for your understanding. Ms. Taylor and the Spotlight Singers
