Headfirst Summer Camps

Summer 2026 enrollment is open for Headfirst Summer Camps — right here at Flint Hill! We’re excited to return for our 11th summer on campus and to celebrate 30 years serving DMV families. Camps for PK3–7th graders include Arts &amp; Crafts, STEM, and Multi-Sport, plus official Washington Nationals Baseball &amp; Softball and D.C. United Soccer Camps. Everything we do is intentionally designed – from how campers are grouped to how progress is recognized – so Flint Hill families can trust the experience and kids can grow with confidence.

I'm sharing the audio of the sermon I preached on Sunday, December 16, 2012 (Advent 3) reflecting on the violence in Newtown CT.  While I am still reflecting on the implications of these events, I affirm the Light that Shines in the Darkness, and follow the path that Light illumines.    <a href="https://soundcloud.com/charles-oberkehr/sermon-12-16-12-reflections-on" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/charles-oberkehr/sermon-12-16-12-reflections-on</a>

The Thirteen begins an exploration of Monteverdi's secular music after their comprehensive review of his sacred works over 
five programs and two recordings, hailed as “shimmering in loveliness”&nbsp; by MusicWeb International. The performance will start with Monteverdi’s madrigal form, pairing it with
 near-contemporary works of the Renaissance-Baroque transition by Carlo 
Gesualdo and Barbara Strozzi. They will present these works in conversation 
with secular song by contemporary composers, including Eric Whitacre, 
Ildebrando Pizzetti, Morton Lauridsen, and more.Promo Code - Partner15 - Save 15%&nbsp;

Equity
 Arc presents a powerful afternoon of classical music showcasing 
exceptional pre-college and collegiate musicians of color from over 80 
U.S. cities. This inspiring concert highlights the next generation of 
talent through dynamic works by composers like Tchaikovsky, Florence 
Price, Jessie Montgomery, and more.&nbsp;
This concert comes almost 
exactly one year to the date (May 4, 2025) when Equity Arc’s Wind 
Symphony was supposed to perform alongside the U.S. Marine Band “The 
President’s Own”(USMB), but was cancelled due to President Trump’s 
executive order entitled “Ending Radical and Wasteful DEI Programs and 
Preferencing.” The story got national attention and was featured on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E48GgDX2NCA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">CBS's 60 Minutes with Scott Peley</a>&nbsp;when,
 in the wake of the cancellation, Equity Arc contacted retired members 
of the premier military and military academy bands to recreate both the 
mentoring and performing experiences&nbsp;in Washington, DC previously 
scheduled for the students.&nbsp;That concert was closed to the public, but 
this one is wide-open with subsidized tickets at only $7 when you 
purchase at the door! Join us!
