Music Director: Abra (Casey) Cummings

Abra was born and raised in Helena, MT where she currently resides with her brand-new husband. Together they like to travel, ski, hike, read, pray and talk about time travel and the mysteries of the universe. The rest of her time is spent working in ministry and as the music teacher the local Catholic school.

After graduating high school, Abra entered campus ministry at Carroll College and has since served as camp counselor, music director and young adult witness at many youth events. Although she has primarily been involved in the Diocese of Helena, she is excited to be invited to a fourth summer at Higher Calling Camp.

This camp cannot happen without the support of a number of youth ministers from the Oregon and Washington area and their amazing volunteers.
