Refresh!
Refresh! 2026
Please join us for Refresh! July 15–16, 2026 at UW-Parkside in Kenosha, WI!
Refresh! is part of WCDA’s Summer Conference, an event held on a university campus over a two-day period in July cooperatively with NextDirection. The purpose of Refresh! is to gather choral educators from every corner of the state in a casual environment to learn from one another and from other teacher-conductors.
Refresh! draws a wide range of choral leaders, from first-year to retired teachers, elementary, middle, high school, and collegiate educators, and church and community choir directors. Sessions range from our popular “ed camps," in which attendees explore chosen topics in small groups, to sessions where attendees learn from nationally-recognized conductors. We also sing together and share food and fellowship. WCDA aims to keep conference fees low to make this event affordable for everyone.
Registration is now open! Register for $125 through April 30 and $150 starting May 1. A discount is provided to attendees who send students to NextDirection.
Please see more details below.
