2008 K.I.D. Camp Theme:
AMAZING ANIMALS
Creatures of all kinds - carnivores and herbivores; two-legged, four-legged and bow-legged - will inhabit the stage. Romping, roaming and roaring, never have so many delightful animals convened in one place at one time.
(No animals will be harmed in the making of this production.)

K.I.D. Camp FAQ
My
child has no experience. Can
he/she still do the camp? YES! The
levels of experience will vary greatly among the
kids. Most will
have no prior experience, some will have done plays in school
or church, and a few will be very experienced. It’s
all about learning.
Is my child guaranteed a solo or lines? No. Not
everybody will be able to have a solo or lines. If they
want to audition for a solo or lines they have to attend the
audition.
Does my child have to audition for the camp? No. Everyone
who pays is in the camp. They only have to audition for
solos and lines.
Is the show a musical? YES! It
is a musical revue with scenes. Every child will have to sing, there
are no non-singing parts (because of everyone being in the Opening & Closing
numbers.) (But remember - they don’t have to do solos
if they don’t want to.)
We’re
going on vacation the first week of the camp.
Can my child join it the second week? No. He/she
would miss too much of the process. It would be too
hard on him/her, as well as the other kids in the production.
We’re leaving for vacation the day of the
performance.
Can my child do the camp but not be in
the show? Yes, but make sure
it’s really thought-through. The classes would
still be very valuable and fun, but the child would not be
part of the afternoon rehearsals. He/she could help
with costumes or props during the afternoon hours.
My child has swimming/dance/horse back riding lessons
on each Tuesday and Thursday (or any
other days).Can he/she
still do the camp? No. We
do not recommend it.
How many adults will be present?
Five
- Holly and Dennis, the choreographer, the musical director,
and one college intern.
What about lunch?
Each
child must bring a packed lunch and something to drink. They
will not be permitted to walk anywhere to buy food. They
should also bring a water bottle filled with ice water every
day.
What should my child wear?
Comfortable
clothes that they can move around in. They will be on the
floor at times, and will sweat. Also, no sandals, clogs or flip-flops.
Is it fun?
Absolutely!!
But, it is a tremendous amount of work. A lot will be expected
of the kids, and it will be difficult at times. This is
not a relaxing camp. We take it very seriously, and truly
believe that the fun is in the work.
Is
there a refund if my child doesn’t like
it after the first day?
There
are no refunds after May 30, 2008. If a child drops out
prior to that date we will refund the money.
Is the performance free?
Each
child will receive two complimentary tickets. Additional
tickets can be purchased.
Are there hidden costs?
There
are no other fees. The children will be asked to provide
their own shorts and shoes, but these will be tennis shoes – not
special dance shoes.
My child is coming to the
Audition. What does
he/she have to prepare? The
kids will be asked to sing a solo and read from a script. If
they want to bring their own sheet music for the pianist,
that’s fine. No taped accompaniment please.
Can I watch the auditions and/or rehearsals?
No. We
find that the kids do better without their parents watching. They
feel less pressure. And, it makes it more fun for the kids
if the performance is totally new for their parents.
