sign - in there will be a form available regarding hours/days, etc.
When Does Registration Begin & How Do I Register My Child For Camp?

1. You can download the form, fill it out and mail it with a cheque made out to "Theatre Street".
Please do NOT mail cash. Cash that is mailed will neither be accepted nor accountable for.
2. You can obtain a form by coming into the Studio directly. This is the more advised method of registering as it will
guarantee your child a spot without the delay of mailing.
What Method of Payment Do You Accept?
- We accept cheques and cash only. Please note you may make your payment in cash HOWEVER it MUST
be done directly at the Studio via the owner, Carson Cooper ONLY. If you wish to pay using cash please contact us
prior to bringing that type of payment. Please note any NSF cheques will be charged a $25.00 NSF fee and
registration will not be processed until the payment has cleared.
Please Note: Because our Program is limited, once you've registered for camp, fees are non-refundable and
non-transferable regardless of notice or reason.
My Child Is A Beginner/My Child Is Advanced Regarding The Core Classes Does That Matter?
- Our Program caters to all abilities. We have campers that have years of vocal, dance or acting training and we
have campers that have never stepped foot in an arts class or on a stage. All abilities/ levels are adhered to and
challenged to grow and develop even further in our fun, friendly learning environment.
Why Does Your Program Have Limited Enrollment?
- At Theatre Street Music, we know every student and camper personally, by name.
They are not "a number in a crowd." We care about their development as artists and as individuals. In order to give
students and campers the full attention they deserve and require to excel we keep our program limited. Doing this
has allowed our students and campers to flourish. That is always our goal.
What Should My Child Bring To Camp Each Day?
- Campers will need to bring a lunch each day including snacks as we have 2 snack breaks during the day in addition
to their lunch time. We highly recommend healthy lunches including a water bottle to keep their hydration and
energy as they will be active all during the day. We will try to spend some time outdoors for fresh air so please
pack sunscreen and/or hats/sunglasses for your child to accommodate.
NUT ALLERGY: Theatre Street Music is Absolutely 100% peanut/nut free. We have clients that are severely allergic to
nut products. Any peanut/nut products will be confiscated to ensure the safety of our students.
Parents will then be called to provide their child with an alternative.
We will also try to spend a small amount of time each day outdoors so if you child is sensitive to the sun we suggest
packing sunscreen or a hat/sunglasses.
What Should My Child Wear To Camp?
- Campers should be dressed in comfortable clothing that they can move in as they will be dancing,acting and
participating in a lot of movement based activities. Please have your child wear tights or shorts if they will be
wearing skirts or dresses to camp so as not to inhibit movement.
If your child has dance socks/dance footwear we recommend they bring it, however dance footwear is not
mandatory.
Session 1 Starts On Canada Day And Our Family Will Miss Day 1 Of Camp. Is This A Problem?
- Absolutely not. Please let us know well in advance if your child will be absent for Day 1 of Session 1 which includes
Canada Day. It helps us to maintain programming.
On that note please be aware that multiple absences of camp will affect a child's role in the show. We have this
policy to be fair to the rest of the cast as as this is a performance based program. Please be aware this also
includes if your child will not participate in the end of camp performance.
Morning Drop Off
- Please note that the Camp doors open in the morning NO EARLIER THAN 8:45 a.m and end of day is NO LATER
than 4:10 p.m unless babysitting has been prearranged. Campers that are earlier or later than the scheduled
camp hours will be subject to babysitting fees due to staffing.
End of Day Pick Up Procedure
- Campers will need their parent to inform an instructor when they are leaving camp. We will have a staff member
assigned by the door at the end of the day for this to be as efficient as possible.
For the safety of our campers please inform us before the end of a camp day if someone other than their
parent/guardian will be picking them up from camp. This can be done in the morning with one of our staff or
through a phone call/voice mail during the day. The safety of our campers is of the utmost importance to us which
is why we request this notice.
What Is Your Policy On Electronics/Cell Phones/Ipods Etc?
- All electronics including cell phones, Ipods, Ipads,video gaming devices, etc ARE NOT permitted at camp. Our
campers will be too busy showing off their creative talents to need them ! This policy is to ensure that campers are
not distracted during class. If a camper brings any of the above devices it is at their own risk Theatre Street Music
is not responsible for damage or loss of said items.
What Is Your Policy On Behaviour and/or Bullying?
- At Theatre Street Music we require that our campers treat themselves,the facility, other campers and the staff
in a polite, respectful, safe manner.
If a camper is being consistently disrespectful, disruptive or unruly, this may result in parents/guardians being
called and if necessary a camper being excused from camp for the day. If their behaviour is deemed problematic
to the well being of the program, facility and the other campers then a camper will be asked to leave the
program without refund.
Theatre Street Music has an absolute zero tolerance for bullying of any kind. Our program encourages children
to feel safe and comfortable to be creative and learn free from fear of antagonistic behaviour from others.
Please Note: At Theatre Street Music we also reserve the right to remove a camper from our end of camp
performance due to any infringement on our respect, behaviour / bullying policy to protect
the performance, program and campers.
Will My Child Have Performance Homework?
- Yes. Although our campers never think of it as "traditional homework" because they love to do it! Campers will
be given "assignments" like practicing the dances they learned in class or reading over their lines in the show or
even singing their solos at home to memorize them. Because our program is performance based in a short
duration of time we will be assigning some things for them to do at home when they have a bit of free time.
This will benefit their performance immensely. Please make sure your child spends a bit of time reviewing their
show "homework" in the evening.
The Gallery & Performance:
- The second Friday of camp will be our Gallery. This will be an open house type event from 4pm til 5pm
where campers and their parents, siblings (and friends if they wish!) are welcome to come into the Studio and
see all of the workshop products and arts & crafts we've done at camp. This is also when campers can take
their projects and art work home.
- The Performance will take place on the Saturday after the final day of camp. Please note that Saturday is not
a full camp day but a few hours. Exact times will be given during camp. The show will take place mid
afternoon.
If for any reason a camper is unable to attend the performance please let us know immediately. When dealing
with a scripted show the absence of a cast member unexpectedly can cause major problems and duress for a
show.
Will My Child Have A Role In The Show?
- Absolutely. Every camper will be given the chance to shine ! Every camper will get to sing, dance and have
lines in the show. We create an original script so that every camper has the opportunity to be a star !
If you have any other questions or concerns regarding our program please feel welcome to contact us at the
Studio. We'd like to thank you for you interest in Theatre Street Music !!
