    • If you have opted out of communication from Stage Door Dance Productions in the past, you may not receive all camp information.

    • During camp days, we will be monitoring our phones and email; however, if you do not receive an immediate response, please know we are likely working with our campers.

    • If there is an emergency or urgent need, we will contact you.

  • Stage Door Dance Productions is committed to providing a high quality, safe, fun, and engaging camp experience for our performers. As an important part of this, we focus on emotional well-being through positive behavioral expectations.

    Community:

    Throughout each camp, we will regularly offer check-ins to make sure each camper is engaged and enjoying the day’s activities. If there is a concerning need, we will contact a grown-up. Remember: you may also view your camper at any time via Spot TV.

    Care:

    During camp, we will take care of ourselves, each other, and our space. This includes exhibiting kindness through actions, choices, and words, picking up and cleaning up after each activity, and meeting group behavioral expectations.

    Listening Ears On:

    On the first day of each camp, camp counselors will review group expectations.

    Our staff will use positive behavioral support through:

    • Communicating clear and appropriate expectations

    • Supporting campers in practicing and mastering these guidelines

    • Discussing concern(s) openly with the child and the parent(s)

    • Relying on families to share openly about their camper(s) so we can support them to the best of our ability.

    We will reach out to you, the adult, if and when:

    • Your camper is hurt or is involved with another camper getting hurt.

    • Your camper is having trouble following directions and evoking safety concerns.

    • Your camper is having a hard time adjusting to the camp or getting along with their peers.

    • Your camper has a bathroom accident. (note: we will not be changing pull-ups or wiping campers.)

    We believe collaboration is key and will always work with families to determine a plan of action that best meets the camper’s needs. If significant behavioral issues arise and are unable to be resolved, we reserve the right to ask a camper to leave. In this case, no refunds will be issued.

Lunch & Snack

  • Our camps are nut-free. Please do not send lunch or snacks containing peanut products.

  • Each group will eat a time that fits their daily routine. As the camp date nears, you may view your camp’s tentative agenda under “Resources” on your SDD Parent Portal.

  • We are a nut-free camp. If there are other allergies, please alert us ASAP and we will make accommodations as needed.

The Camp Experience

  • Campers will engage in weekly themed activities that are performance/ movement based and designed to activate imagination and creativity. As the camp nears, you’ll be able to view a full agenda for your camp week under “Resources'' on the SDD Parent Portal. All of our camps have an informal observation or performance at the end of the camp week.

  • Our Lead Facilitators are from our core staff at Stage Door Dance Productions. All staff are background checked and subscribe to the culture, core values, and expectations of the Stage Door Dance Productions Summer Camp Curriculum.

    We have several Work Study Educational Leadership Program Students that will be assisting with summer camps and programming. Work Study Students are participants at Stage Door Dance Productions.

    All of our camp staff enjoy creativity, play, and understand the power of childhood enrichment.

  • Half Day Camps have a 1:7 facilitator to camper ratio

    Full Day Camps have a 1:9 facilitator to camper ratio

  • Only participants, staff, and scheduled guests are allowed in our facilities. If you feel that your child is unable to remain in camp without you, it may be best to wait until next year before you send them to camp. Our camp programs offer independent learning and socialization for participants.

    Remember: you may view your participant at any time via SpotTV. The only time campers are not available for viewing are during outside activities or activities in common areas.

  • Participants will be charged a late pick-up fee at the rate of $1 per minute after the 5-minute grace period at the conclusion of camp (e.g. if a camp ends at 1pm, the late pick-up fee will activate at 1:05pm). This will be automatically posted and charged to your studio account.

    Chronic or recurring late pick-ups may result in a participant forfeiting the remainder of a camp week with no refund.
