1st and 2nd Grade Campers: Sunscreen and Hat

Students will participate in outdoor recess and games/activities. Please plan accordingly with sunscreen or a sun hat.

Thank you for helping your camper come prepared—we can't wait for an amazing summer!

Students will rotate through a variety of engaging activities throughout the day, including:

• •Musical theatre (singing, dancing, acting)
• •Themed crafts and special activities
• •Organized games
• •Outdoor time on the grass field

Our rotating schedule keeps energy high, maximizes fun, and gives campers a well-rounded experience in creative arts and summer camp play.

To ensure a smooth and safe start to the week, please carefully review the following arrival and dismissal procedures.

Required Parent Check-In

On the first day of camp (Monday), a parent or guardian must park and walk their student inside for check-in. This allows us to:

• •Confirm registration and emergency contact information
• •Verify authorized pick-up contacts
• •Review any medical or allergy information
• •Answer any last-minute questions
• •Ensure your camper feels confident and ready for the week

Please plan to allow a few extra minutes on Monday morning for this process. Students will not be permitted to enter independently on the first day.

Tuesday through Friday – Carline Drop-Off

Beginning Tuesday, parents may use the designated carline drop-off system. Staff will be outside to greet students and safely escort them inside. Please:

• •Follow the map/cones to properly utilize the carline
• •Have your child ready to exit quickly and safely

Daily Pick-Up – Carline

Pick-up each afternoon (Monday through Friday) will take place through carline. For dismissal:

• •Follow the designated traffic pattern
• •Have your pick-up tag visible if applicable
• •Be prepared to show identification if requested
• •Students will only be released to authorized adults listed in your registration

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and organized camp environment. We are looking forward to an amazing week of singing, dancing, and performing.

If you need to pick up your child early for any reason, please call us directly at the YSMT number 321-209-4066. A member of our staff will meet you in the church lobby.

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.

We aim to create a positive, respectful camp environment. If a child repeatedly disrupts activities, we may ask parents to pick up early.

• •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.

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.

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.
