Rules and Regulations
Welcome to musical theater camp! We are so excited to have each and every one of you with us this year. Safety, Respect and FUN are of the utmost importance to the camp and staff, so we ask that all parents, guardians and campers read and agree to these camp rules.
1. Attendance – Camp is only 10 short days! We ask that campers be present every day. Some exceptions are made for illnesses or emergencies. The last day of camp is mandatory. Campers who cannot be present for the showcase will not be admitted to camp.
2. The check-in/out table will be located outside the front doors. Campers who arrive more than 15 minutes late will receive a warning. After 2 warnings camp staff reserves the right to dismiss the child[ren] from camp.
3. Tech and Show times – Thursday June 22nd and Friday June 23rd will be our tech days. Attendance of all campers is mandatory. On Friday the 23rd we have our show, parents and guardians do not need to pick up their children at 2pm. Instead, we will have a performance that begins at 2:30pm, open and free to the public, doors open at 2:00pm.
4. Dress code – Campers will need to wear close toed shoes (tennis shoes, dance shoes, etc.) every day. Appropriate clothing for choreography should also be worn daily (leggings, t-shirts, sweatpants, etc.). Campers who are dressed inappropriately will not be admitted to camp until proper attire is worn. ***For the Showcase, all campers will need to wear close-toed shoes and BLACK bottoms ***
5. Meals – Food will be provided at camp. Campers should expect a light breakfast and hot lunch everyday (the only allergy we can accommodate is peanuts). Water bottles will be allowed and will be provided. If you have a special diet, de sure to plan accordingly and pack before coming to camp.
6. Gum – Campers are not permitted to chew gum during camp hours – NO EXCEPTIONS.
7. Items from home – Campers should avoid bringing extra things from home. Riverside Theater is not responsible for lost or stolen items. However, there are some things that we suggest campers bring: A sweatshirt, it’s a good idea to dress in layers. A water bottle, this needs to have a tightly closing lid.
8. Electronics – Campers are allowed to have cellphones. However, cellphones may not be out during camp hours UNLESS there is a break, or special permission. Any cellphone being used during rehearsal time without permission will be confiscated and returned at sign-out.
9. Behavior – All campers are expected to have appropriate behavior at all times. Horseplay and running around are not permitted. Any physically violent behavior, bullying or verbally abusive language is grounds for immediate dismissal. Camp staff reserves the right to dismiss children at any time for any behavior violation.
10. Participation – All campers are expected to participate in camp activities (choreography, singing, acting, camp games, etc.). Campers who choose not to participate will receive a verbal warning. Continual refusal to participate will result in camp dismissal.
These Rules and Regulations will help us create a safe and comfortable space to rehearse. We look forward to putting together an amazing production this year! Thank you!
