CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Diocese of Corpus Christi and the international performing arts group Gen Verde will be hosting a free five-day youth performing arts camp from 8 a.m. to noon from Oct. 11 to 15 at St. John Paul II High School.
The camp will focus on strengthening high school aged students in performing arts with a focus on singing, dance, percussion, or drama, all taught by the Rome-based Christian pop group Gen Verde.
A familiar face to KIII, Katia Uriarte, the Director of Communications and the Assistant Director of Communications in Public Relations for the Diocese of Corpus Christi, and Jesse De Leon joined us on Domingo Live on Sunday to share details about the event.
"This is such a great thing to do and really learn who you are," said Uriarte. "It is open to all faiths... if you don't believe it's okay, just go have fun."
Uriarte also shared how Corpus Christi is just one of many stops for Gen Verde as part of their U.S. Performing Arts Camp tour.
But what's a performing arts camp tour without a final camp performance?!
Not only will Gen Verde help the Performing Arts Camp learn how to put on a show-stopping performance, but they'll also join the campers for a joint mega-concert on Oct. 14!
The concert will take place Oct. 14 at the new Mary Carroll High School Arena at 7 p.m. Doors open to the public at 6 p.m. and admission is free for all members of the community. You can reserve your seat online at the link here.
