Attendance: Because camp hours are imperative for rehearsal time students have to prepare for the show, it is important that they miss as little of camp as possible. We understand that kids get sick and that summer is busy. Please try to keep absences to a minimum. ​
If a student will be leaving camp early for the day or if they will be picked up by someone other than the person designated on their profile, we must have a note. This is for their protection. Also – students must be picked up in a timely manner. Theater staff cannot be held responsible for campers after 3pm. If you require special arrangements please speak to Tina.
