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:

§ LOCATION. We are housed in the portables at the back of Douglas High School. Please enter the southernmost entrance to the school, off of Coral Springs Dr. (9th grade entrance), drive to the back, park & walk your child in to the sign-in room. For directions, check the website.

§ ORIENTATION. Because all public schools are closed Fridays, Orientation has been changed to Thursday, June 11 from 3:30-5:30pm. First check in by last name in the Strings Laboratory. Check your emergency & pickup/dropoff information & leave the folder with the counselor. Camp staff will be ready to welcome you, give you a tour of our facilities, & answer any questions you may have.

§ SUPPLEMENTAL FEES. Supplemental Fees (including $20 registration per child per session & other optional fees) are due in CASH ONLY at orientation on 6/11. Complete the MusicMakers! Supplemental Fees form below (or on site) & bring it with you on 6/11. You will receive a supplemental fees receipt at day 1’s end when you sign your child out.

§ REQUIRED FORMS. If you didn't turn in all required forms (Registration Flyer, Media Release, & Transportation Designee Form (only if someone other than you will transport your child)) when you registered, go to the camp website, scroll down, print & complete them, & bring them to orientation. Forms must be complete or your child can not stay for camp on day 1. Thanks.

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

§ GROUP PLACEMENT. Children are placed in age groups based on age &/or musical experience. Requests to be grouped with other children should have been specified on the registration forms at the time of registration & will be honored whenever possible. Late requests cannot be guaranteed, but we will try our very best.

§ WHAT TO BRING. 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 also. Please be sure all items you bring to camp are labeled with your name.

§ SEATING ASSIGNMENTS. When you check in on day 1, you will be given a range of numbers in which to sit (1-20, 21-40, etc.). Seats are numbered & will be labeled w/your name so that everyone has their own spot & number to stow their stuff, & so that camp staff can put things that get left around back on kids' desks. For ease of movement & organizational purposes, each age group sits together. Due to group changes, seating may change slightly on day 2.

§ AUDITIONS & COSTUMES. Your child’s part for the shows will determine his or her costume. Auditions will be held on Tuesday & Wednesday of week 1 for solo & announcer/speaking parts. We try to provide as many costumes as possible to keep costs low & maintain uniformity, but some items (such as your pirate costume) will need to be provided by you at additional cost.

§ SINGING SHOW PRACTICE ITEMS. Practice CDs & musical scores/scripts make it possible to learn parts at home & are highly recommended. A $5 deposit per item is required when you borrow a CD &/or musical score, & is returned when you return the item. Prepaying a deposit for a practice CD &/or script by day 1 will enable your child to take it home & better prepare for their audition, which will be held on day 2 of each session.

§ WATER BALLOON WAR. For the water balloon war on the last day of each session, campers may bring up to 1 cooler or 2 5-gallon buckets per child of pre-filled water bombs. Swimsuits, shirts, & shoes are required to participate. BRING A TOWEL. Parents are welcome to watch the fun!

§ CELL PHONES & ELECTRONIC DEVICES PROHIBITED DURING CAMP HOURS. Campers are not permitted to use cell phones or Gameboys during camp hours. Because we are housed in a public school 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!
