Adult Camp Details
The Adult Camp session is programmed with an emphasis for adults (singing school lessons, fewer recreation options, extensive singing elective classes).
Adult Camp 2023 is held at Camp Lee, which is located in Anniston, Alabama. Anniston is 60 miles east of Birmingham, 100 miles west of Atlanta, and 100 miles southeast of Huntsville.
Lodging
Lodging for adult campers is available onsite at Camp Lee or offsite in local hotels. Sleeping quarters at Camp Lee are open lodge style with shared bathroom. Hotel lodging is also available in Anniston or Oxford through Camp Fasola, or you can select your own hotel. Adult camp fee is $250 for onsite lodging at Camp Lee, $600 for single occupancy hotel or $500 for double occupancy hotel. Adult camp fee is $200 if you provide your own lodging. Onsite campers are responsible for providing linens (towels and bedroll/sleeping bag/sheets/blanket and pillow). If this provides a hardship, we will provide linens if you request in advance.
Meals
Meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided. We also provide snacks in the mid-morning and mid-afternoon. (If you would like to bring treats to share such as drinks, cookies, brownies, fruit, chips, or other food for the snack times, we would appreciate it.)
Recreation
Camp Fasola recreation for Adult Camp will be facilitated by Camp Lee staff. Camp Fasola recreation includes swimming, hiking, canoeing, fishing (bring your own gear), crafts, climbing wall, zipline (canopy), zipline (lake), low elements, and more. See CampLee.org for more information on recreation provided.
Lessons
We will have a good selection of lessons and electives, so you will have at least three hours of singing school lessons per day plus electives and each night’s class singing. We will have sessions for all levels of experience from beginners through experienced singers. Campers are asked to perform some area of service to support camp operation during the week.
All-Day Singings
All-day singings are held in the area on the weekends before and after Camp Fasola.

Scholarship/work study support for camp fees may be available based on need. Our aim is for every camper who wishes to participate in Camp Fasola to have that opportunity. Priority for scholarship support is given to campers who have multiple family members attending; who have substantial travel expenses; or who otherwise would be unable to attend without financial support.
Please complete the camp scholarship form (also accessible on the camp PDF registration form) if you require scholarship support for camp fees. We also encourage campers to seek financial support from their local Sacred Harp community.
