Parents we need your help with devices. They may not be on a smart device during camp and rehearsal. Campers and interns need something to occupy downtime. It is becoming a problem at camp and we have repeat offenders who do not have impulse control over their devices. We prefer that their devices live in their backpacks rather than their pockets.

Talk with you camper or intern about something they like to do that can occupy downtime. Read, color, cards, crossword puzzles, sudoko, their quilt square (but not during lunch/ needles and food don't mix) memorizing their lines, etc...

The program for the show will be an 8 1/2 x 11 magazine size book. You may purchase space in the program for businesses, families, churches, family doctor... etc.. You can buy as many ads as you can afford and you can also choose from several sizes. Those sizes include:

Every year the junior and full interns greet the campers at the door to the theater. It's a very excited "Welcome to Camp" and we know that can be overwhelming for some. Talk with your camper and help them decide if they would like a small/quiet welcome when they come into the theater.

Click here to tell us Big or Small.

• Be well rested
• Pack plenty of lunch and snacks. Don't get hangry.
• Bring a hoodie or dress in layers. No blankets please. The theater is COLD!
• Social battery awareness. Do you need some quiet time during the day to recharge?
• Be on time (for drop-off and pick up)
• Choose to have a great attitude. Even when you are exhausted.
