Important info about our performances

Please make sure your child does not wear Heelys or another brand of shoes with wheels (or at least be sure to take out the wheels)!

Please make sure your campers do not wear watches, wristbands or bracelets for the shows. We will put their camp T-shirts on them before the Saturday performance and then keep them for the Sunday show. Be sure your child does not wear the T-shirt home on Saturday! After Sunday's performance, it is theirs to keep.

Looking for a long-sleeved black T-shirt?

Finding a long-sleeved T-shirt in June may not be the easiest task, but Hobby Lobby carries them! Some Michael's stores have them, too, but the Denton Highway location does not have them in stock (as of Wednesday morning). Remember, our campers will wear long-sleeved black T-shirts under their camp T-shirts for our performances.

Important information for parents

Please remember to sign in your child(ren) in the mornings.

Tuesday afternoon's activity is a trip to Mountasia. We'll make sure everyone gets sunscreen, but it might be a good idea to send a hat with your child. Please DO NOT SEND MONEY with your camper! All activities are included with your registration fee.

Music camp is almost here!

We're so excited to see our campers prepare this year's production, Nic at Night. Come back throughout the week for updates and photos!

Important Information

Let's Jump
Our Monday activity will be at Let's Jump. Let's Jump requires that each camper have a waiver filled out and signed by a parent. Waivers were mailed earlier this week. Please bring it to the Music Camp table on Sunday or at camp on Monday morning. Let's Jump also requires that all participants wear socks. We recommend that campers wear socks on the first day instead of bringing them so they don't get lost during the day.

Performance attire
Each camper will be receiving a camp T-shirt on the last day of camp. They need to wear this over a long-sleeved black shirt for the performances. They will also need to wear black pants or sweats and closed-toed shoes. Shoes should be dark if possible. We are hoping you can borrow these items if you do not have them readily available.

Camp T-shirts
It's not too late to order extra camp T-shirts for $10. If you ordered extra shirts but have not paid for them, please do that on Sunday or Monday morning.

Registration
If you know someone who is planning to come to camp but has not signed up yet, please ask them to get their paperwork in as soon as possible.
