•BE RESPECTFUL of fellow campers, staff, volunteers, and facilities

🌟 FINAL THOUGHTS
The most successful campers are not always the most experienced performers. They are the students who arrive prepared, work hard, support their peers, take risks, and fully participate in the process.
If you have not yet completed your camp forms, including waivers and costume sizing information, please do so immediately.
We can’t wait to see everyone on June 29!
Warmly,
Greg London
