FAQs
What time should I arrive to camp?
Students may arrive up to ten minutes early for their camp.
What if a student needs to miss a day of camp, or a few hours of camp?
That's okay! We know "life" happens. Please note, partial refunds cannot be made for missed days of camp.
May parents sit in and watch camp?
In order to help students let go of their inhibitions and develop a strong stage presence, we ask parents not to stay and watch their child in class, as it is often disruptive to the students.
What time should I pick up my child?
Your student's camp end time will be listed in your confirmation email. Your student will be ready to leave at that time. A late pick-up penalty of $25 per each extra 10 minutes after the camp end time will be imposed.
Will there be a performance at the end of camp?
Each individual camp description will have information about performances, if applicable. Some camps perform at their own Final Showcase and others do not have a performance at all. If a performance is planned, it is intended to be very informal and almost always done without lights, sets, props or costumes. The Production Camps of Annie Jr., Macbeth, and The Music Man Jr. will have special performances later in the evening.
