Drop-Off & Pickup

 

• Drop-off begins at 8:45 AM. Doors will not open earlier because staff are preparing for the day.

• We do not offer before-care or after-care. If you are delayed, contact camp staff immediately. A staff member will remain with your child until pickup, and the late-pickup fee will apply after 3:15 PM.

 

Sign-In & Sign-Out

 

• Parents or guardians must sign campers in and out each day.
• Any arrangement allowing a camper to walk home or sign themselves in or out requires advance written permission from a parent or guardian.

 

What to Wear

 

• Campers should wear comfortable clothing that allows them to move, dance, and participate in theatre activities.
• Sneakers are required. Please do not wear flip-flops or open-toed shoes.
• Please avoid skirts, dresses, midriff tops, or clothing with offensive language or graphics.

 

What to Bring

 

Please send your camper with:

• Lunch and snacks each day
• A refillable water bottle

Auditions & Casting

 

• Auditions take place by submitting a video. Callbacks will also be done by video.
• The process is current, relaxed and supportive, helping campers feel comfortable performing and trying something new.

 

Late-Pickup Fees

 

• Pickup after 3:15 PM incurs a fee of $5 per child per 15 minutes.
• Payment goes directly to the staff member staying late. Final camp materials, including T-shirts, will be held until outstanding balances are paid.
