Intergenerational Handbell Camp at Heartland Center is a time for learning and fellowship with other bell ringers from around the area and nation. New or experienced ringers are welcome!
Handbell Camp is a place where local and regional bell ringers can learn from skilled leaders and share fellowship with other bell ringers. The benefits of ringing with others from different groups brings a multitude of new ideas and broaden the experience and skills of new and experienced ringers.
Each day you will have an opportunity to participate in a class that is geared to your experience level as a ringer as well as times for exploration, activities, and rest. Guest performances are also planned as evening entertainment. Our week together is capped by a Thursday night massed concert.
Other activities include swimming, hiking, campfires, horseback riding, meal fellowship, Christmas in July, a talent show, and guest performances.
Heartland Center is a 320 acre camp and conference center near Parkville, Missouri. Most Handbell Camp activities take place in the Nunemaker Conference Center.
