Attendance: Since we are working towards a final product of a finished show, regular attendance is a must. Any camper with more than 2 unexcused absences will be dismissed from the camp without a refund. We realize that families take vacations in the summer and we don’t require that you alter your vacation plans.  We do, however, require advanced notice of any absence for vacation purposes (these will be excused absences and your child will not be penalized).

All campers must be dropped off and picked up on time.  
For emergency delays or absences please call Ms. Meg Haven: 513-295-8845

What to wear: comfortable clothes for sitting on the floor, moving, etc. For safety reasons, your child must wear gym shoes – absolutely no flip flops, sandals, heels, open-toed shoes, etc.

Please keep in mind that this is a snack break, not a meal break. Please pack foods that are quick and easy to eat.
