If your student is enrolled in one of our Two-Week Musical Theatre Intensive Camps (like Moana Jr), performances will take place on Saturday and possibly Sunday at the end of the second week, providing a more fully staged production experience.

What is your pick-up/drop-off procedure?
Carline Procedures
To keep everyone safe and efficient we utilize a carline that is organized by last name:
Drop-off:
Last names A–N: 8:15am–8:30am
Last names M–Z: 8:30am–9:00am
Pick-up:
Last names A–N: 3:00pm–3:15pm
Last names M–Z: 3:15pm–3:30pm
🚨 Important: Due to City of Winter Garden ordinances, carline must not back up onto the main road. If you arrive and see that the line is starting to overflow, please loop around again or park and walk your student up to the front porch.
All students will be checked in and out using our iPad system.
Parents will be issued 1–2 car tags for your rearview mirror to help carline move quickly and smoothly. Thank you for your cooperation!
What happens if I need to pick up my child early?
Our building at Dillard St. has a secure magnetic lockdown system that prevents strangers or unexpected guests to enter the building without our knowledge or consent.
If your student is arriving late or needs to be picked up early, please ring the doorbell so that a member of our staff can be notified and head to the door.
Does my child need theatre experience to participate?
Not at all! Our camps are designed for all skill levels — from first-time performers to experienced young stars. We focus on fun, confidence-building, and creativity.
What is your cell phone and behavior policy?
We expect students to be respectful, focused, and collaborative. If a camper repeatedly disrupts the learning environment, parents may be contacted.
Cell phones should remain put away during camp hours unless used briefly during lunch/snack time.
1st warning will be a verbal warning possibly a brief sit-out of participation.
2nd warning will be a phone call to the parent/guardian about behavior.
3rd warning the student may be asked to be picked up early with a private discussion at pickup.
If a camper exudes consistent disruptive or inappropriate behavior, they may be asked to disenroll from camp. Refund policy remains the same.
What is your refund or exchange policy?
All refunds are at the discretion of Young Star Musical Theatre Inc. and must be discussed with all parties involved.
During summer we follow this policy:
-Up to 14 days before your camp session no refund can be given. Only 100% future camp or class credit.
-Any camp cancellation before the 14 day period, refunds will be provided, less a $25 admin fee.
-Refunds/exchanges/credit during the week of camp are at the sole discretion of YSMT.
What if my child misses a day of camp?
Camp is not prorated. Whatever was taught in the day that the student missed will be re-taught to the student. If a camper decides to end their camp session early, refunds will only be in the form of YSMT credit for a future camp or class and will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
