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.

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.

There is no charge for admission to the Friday performances. You may bring friends and relatives as you desire.

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 up 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.

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.

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 your credit card is charged.

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).

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, 3 and 4.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There is typically one counselor for every 4 campers.

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.
