What is a typical
daily schedule for the children?
The children arrive between 9-9:30 am
and stay with their counselors and group.
During each day, each group will attend
the six (6) workshops for 45 minute segments.
For example, group 1 might start with
the dance workshop (every day each group
starts with a different workshop). Their
next workshop might be Music, followed
by Improvisation. All groups then break
for lunch. When they return, Group 1 might
have Counselor Time, Crafts and then finish
the day with the Staging/Audition instructor.
All campers return to the Theatre for
final words from the Camp Director and
get ready for pickup.
What is the ratio
of campers to counselors?
There is typically one counselor for every
4 campers.
What do the campers
do in Counselor Time?
The activities during counselor time are
decided by the Head Counselor. Typically,
campers will review their choreography
or staging as they prepare for each Friday's
performances, discuss events or issues
of the day, or just enjoy traditional
camp activities and games.
What happens if
my child needs to use the bathroom?
Counselors take the children on bathroom
breaks whenever necessary. If between
workshops, those campers will catch up
in the next workshop. If in the middle
of a workshop, those campers will complete
the task as quickly as possible and then
return to the workshop.
Is there refrigeration
for lunch?
No. While there is refrigeration for medicines,
if necessary, there is no such accommodation
for foods. We ask that all lunch items
sent with the camper be properly packaged,
in thermal bags if necessary.
What happens if
I forget to send lunch with my child?
You may bring lunch to the camp at any
time during the morning and it will be
given to your child's Head Counselor.
Your child may visit the lunch truck with
your permission, to purchase lunch items.
If counselors or staff members expend
monies on behalf of your child, please
be so kind as to return the loan as quickly
as possible. Under no circumstances will
any child be allowed to share food with
another child.
If I lose the
Confirmation Letter with all the camp
rules and information, where can I find
the information?
You may go to our website, www.yorktownstage.org,
and select 'Summer Theatre Camp'. At the
top of the page, you will be able to select
'Download Confirmation' to get all the
information.
Are the campers
ever left alone?
The children are never left alone. The
counselors are always with the children
- during their workshops, lunch, to start
the day and to end the day.
What is Lip Sync?
It is a performance, with dancing and
staging. The children rehearse their dance
- each group gets their own song - during
the week to perform it on the only Friday
of Session 1 and the 1st Friday of Sessions
2, 3 and 4.
What do the children
do during extended care hours?
The counselors treat the extended care
as another workshop of the day. Activities
include dancing, group games, crafts and
movie watching (we have most Disney movies
on tape).
How do I pay for
the Extended Care Program?
If you wish to utilize the Extended Care
Program, you must pay at the time you
use the service, or complete an authorization
form to allow use of your credit card
at the end of the session. The camp registration
form contains your authorization for use
of this card. You may always pay on the
last day by cash or by check, if you wish,
canceling the need for the charge. If
you do not make arrangements before a
child is left in Extended Care, you will
agree that any credit card used for previous
camp charges, including camp fees, may
be used for this purpose. You will receive
an email when yor credit card is charged.
Do I need to tell
you in advance if I will need Extended
Care?
No. The counselors will be present for
Extended Care daily from 8am - 9am and
from 3:30pm - 6pm. Of course, if you know
the dates and times, it would be helpful
to inform the Extended Care administrator.
What are the charges
for Extended Care?
In the morning, there is a single charge
of $8 for a child dropped off earlier
than 9am. In the afternoon, charges commence
for all children who remain past 3:40pm.
Thereafter you will be charged $8/hour
for any part of each hour your child remains
in Extended Care. If picked p between
3:40 and 4:35 pm, the charge is $8. If
picking up between 4:35 and 5:35 pm, the
charge is $16, and if picked up between
5:35 and 6:00 pm, the charge is $20.
What is the cost
of tickets for the Friday performances?
There is no charge for admission to the
Friday performances. You may bring friends
and relatives as you desire.
If it rains, where
will my child eat lunch?
We do not go outside on rainy days or
days experiencing extreme heat or humidity.
In inclement weather (some days are actually
too hot to go outside), each group stays
in the location of their last workshop
before the lunch hour and enjoys lunch
in that space.
Where do I park
when I come for the performances?
There is ample parking on Veteran's road
(in legal spots) and the triangle shopping
center below our building. If parking
in the triangle shopping center, you can
easily take the stairs from the lot, walk
along the side of the track and enter
the building. Please do not park illegally,
as you may be towed and/or ticketed.
