Dear Parent and Camper:

Welcome to MusicMakers! Summer Camp! We are so excited that you will be joining us this year! We are going to have an absolutely awesome time!

A few helpful hints:

§ We are housed in the portables at the back of Douglas High School. Please park and walk your child in to the sign-in room. For directions, check the website.

We have recently updated our camp handbook. To view it, please visit www.musicmakerscamp.com and scroll down the left menu until you see “Camp Handbook.” Hard copy will be available at orientation, but we strongly recommend that you and your child read it ahead of time so that we can get started making music ASAP.

If you didn't turn in all 4 required forms when you registered, go to the camp website, scroll down, print & complete them, and bring them to orientation. Forms must be complete or your child can not stay for camp on day 1. Thanks.
At orientation (Fri. 6/13 from 3:30-5:30pm), first check in by last name in the Strings Laboratory. Check your emergency and pickup/dropoff information & leave the folder with the counselor. Camp staff will be ready to welcome you, give you a tour of our facilities, and answer any questions you may have.
Supplemental Fees (including $20 registration per child per session and other optional fees) are due in CASH ONLY at orientation on 6/13. Complete the MusicMakers! Supplemental Fees form below (or on site) and bring it with you on 6/13. Optional items include: $3 per pizza lunch (offered Fridays or July 3); precorder outfits ($8 each, for our younger 2 age groups; includes book, instrument, case & neck strap), recorder outfits ($16 for book, case, & instrument, for older 2 age groups), and Practice CD rentals of the Broadway &/or Rock & Roll shows ($5 refundable deposit ea.). You will receive a supplemental fees receipt at day 1’s end when you sign your child out.
Children are placed in age groups based on age and/or musical experience. Requests to be grouped with other children should have been specified on the registration forms at the time of registration. Such requests will be honored whenever possible. However, late requests cannot be guaranteed, although we do try our very best.
On day 1, bring lunch, recorder or precorder if you have one, & an extra water bottle. Snack money is optional. If you have another instrument or keyboard music, bring it on day 2. Please be sure all items you bring to camp are labeled with your name.
When you check in on day 1, you will be given a temporary number & seat for day 1. On day 2, once any group changes have been made, you will be allowed to swap seats so that you are sitting next to your friends. This is done to make sure everyone has their own spot & # to store their stuff, and so that camp staff can put things that get left around back on kids' desks. If everyone is in the correct age group, seat swaps may take place on day 1.
Your child’s parts for the Broadway & Rock & Roll shows will determine his or her costume. Auditions will be held on Wed. & Thurs. of week 1 for solo & announcer parts. We try to provide as many costumes as possible to keep costs low and maintain uniformity, but some items may need to be provided from home at additional cost. Practice CDs make it possible to learn parts at home and are highly recommended.
For the shaving cream war on the last day of each session, campers may bring up to 2 cans non-menthol shaving cream and wear swimsuits and yucky shoes for this event. BRING A TOWEL. Parents are welcome to watch the fun!
Campers are not permitted to use cell phones or Gameboys during camp hours. Because we are housed in a public facility, we follow the Broward County Public Schools Student Code of Conduct.

If you still have unanswered questions, call me, check the website, read the handbook, or email me through the site. I can't wait to see you in just a few short days!

Sincerely,

Miss Nicole

MusicMakers! Summer Camp Director & Crazy Hat Queen!
