Your camper will need to be checked IN and checked OUT EVERY DAY!
When you check your camper in, we’ll give them a sticky name tag to wear while they’re on-site.
Camper Needs
EAR PROTECTION: It can get loud in the camp rooms. We strongly suggest you purchase some ear protection for your camper. You can get the foam plugs from a drug store. Please do not have your child wear the over the ear headphone protection. Those have proven to be very distracting and frustrating for our students & teachers. In-ear protection is best.
WATER BOTTLE: Students do not need to bring anything, although a bottle of water is strongly encouraged. Please put your camper’s name on their water bottle.
No food or drinks other than water should be consumed inside the classrooms. If your camper needs snacks please let a camp helper know so we can help them eat their snack outside.
INSTRUMENTS: We supply all instruments & implements, so no need to bring anything along from home!
INTERESTED IN THE YEAR-ROUND GROUP? There will be a parent information meeting on Friday after the demo/performance. Anyone interested in considering becoming part of the year-round group should attend this meeting.
Forms
We need every camper’s family to fill out an anonymous Demographics Survey as part of our Measure P Grant. At your earliest convenience, please click below to submit your answers.
Your Camp Info email may have indicated that we still need some forms to be completed for your camper. If this is the case, please access them here to submit your camper’s info.
