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

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 –

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

What happens if I need to pick up my child early?

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.

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 behavior policy?

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.

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.
