Camp Policies We are going to have a lot of fun at our camp, but we expect all youth to behave respectfully to other participants and adults. We will not tolerate bullying of any kind, destruction of personal property, crude language, or swearing. Our days will be packed with engaging activity, and, so everyone can get the most out of the experience, we also have a NO-CELL-PHONE POLICY: Your youth can either leave their phone at home or place it in a basket in the entryway upon arrival. If you need to reach your child you may contact any teacher and we will make sure your child can reach you if he or she needs to. If your child chooses to bring their phone we are not responsible for lost or damaged phones. Should your child violate any of our policies they may be asked to leave the camp, and no refund will be given. Additional Challenges (Optional) If campers would like to do fun, extra Shakespeare learning on their own, we have provided several optional challenges. Youth have between now and the Friday Performance date to complete their challenges. However, we will need to know by Friday, June 16 which projects they WILL HAVE completed by the last day of camp. They will need to pass each one off to a parent, and then the parent will email AllTheWorldsAStageTX@gmail.com with the specific challenges the child has completed. A certificate will be awarded to each student at the Friday evening performance, listing their completed challenges. Anyone who reads The Shakespeare Stealer AND completes at least 6 challenges will receive a SPECIAL prize. Challenges will be available March 2. Quick-Start Challenges: For those first-time campers who would like to feel more comfortable with the content in The Play’s The Thing, you may want to complete the 3 Quick-Start Challenges before camp. Each Challenge you complete will count toward the 6 needed for the Special Prize.
