-Students are required to remain on campus throughout camp. No one is allowed to leave campus for lunch or any other reason. At the beginning of each day all students are required to turn in their keys to Mr. Brown. This is for YOUR safety. All keys will be individually placed in an envelope and kept in a secure location; then returned to you at the end of the day.

-Students are NOT allowed to use cell phones during camp. Any concern about communication between parents and students should be addressed to Mr. Brown by a parent or guardian. The purpose of this is to ensure maximum focus on rehearsal from each student.

-No one is allowed to drink any sugar or energy drinks during camp. This is for your health and safety. Gatorade is permitted however you are strongly encouraged to drink water.

-PLEASE KEEP OUR SCHOOL CLEAN. Do not leave trash outside or in the school building. There will be garbage cans provided during lunch. Take pride in your school and your program and do not litter.

MEDICAL FORMS

On the first day of camp all students will be given a medical form which needs to be filled out and signed by a parent or guardian. This form must be returned the FOLLOWING DAY. It is very important and these forms are received by Mr. Brown and filled out accurately. This is for the safety of yourself and your fellow students. Any prescription medication must be given to Mr. Brown at the beginning of camp and will be distributed when needed by each individual. Any prior or current medical conditions must be known by the Director and staff. Any questions or concerns about the medical form or anything health related should be directed to Mr. Brown
