Summer Theatre Arts Institute 2025 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are there discounts or scholarships available?
Please note that there are no discounts or scholarships for this program at this time. We work with our donors/sponsors to try to keep tuition affordable for our community members. Camp tuition includes full day care, meals and materials to make this program possible – so please know that all fees go to making this program successful.
What is the refund policy?
There are NO refunds for any and all registration and tuition fees.
Can parents/visitors attend the end of week performances?
No. Our weekly performances are filmed and sent out via email to all parents/guardians to be shared as you like. At this time, we cannot accommodate visitors in such a capacity – and so for fairness for all participants, no visitors will be permitted entry to watch. Videos of each class performance are sent first thing Friday mornings following the week of camp.
What should my child wear to camp?
We are an active camp! Campers should wear comfortable clothing and closed-toed shoes. No sandals, flip-flops, or jazz shoes for walking outside.
What should my child bring?
- A packed lunch (nut-free preferred) if they are not partaking in the free lunch option.
- Two snacks and a refillable water bottle
- A small blanket for rest time. (optional)
We recommend that each student bring a small backpack each day with the items above. Please do not send any toys or electronics such as iPads, etc. to the program.
Is breakfast/lunch provided?
YES! Breakfast and Lunch are provided daily. Menus will be shared as soon as they are available. All registered students are welcome to the provided meals.
How early can I drop off/pick up?
Drop off begins at 8am (and no earlier.) Doors close and lock at 9am – any late arrivals may call our camp phone for any late drop-offs. Pick-up begins at 4:30pm, and all students must be picked up by no later than 5:30pm. Late fees will apply to students picked up late. We do not allow pick-up between 4pm – 4:30pm as we prepare for dismissal. Multiple late pick ups will result in expulsion from the program. Parents will have a contact phone number to pick-up students as needed for appointments, etc. outside of the regular pick-up hours.
What safety measures are in place?
The safety of our campers is our top priority. All staff are background-checked and there is a first aid trained staff member on site at all times. Parents/Visitors are NOT allowed into the building, to add another layer of security for the program. All doors remain locked during the day. Staff are available via phone throughout the day.
What is the camper-to-staff ratio?
Each class consists of 6 – 12 students, – keeping ratios lower than a traditional classroom.
What if my child has allergies or special needs?
We are happy to accommodate basic needs and create an inclusive environment for all campers. However, if your child requires one-on-one support or specialized care, we may not be able to provide the necessary accommodations. Please contact us before registering to discuss how we can best support your child.
