PARENTS AND CAMPERS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: CAMP REGULATIONS are few but, for obvious reasons, MUST AND WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. Campers unable to abide by these regulations will be asked to return to their homes. It is expected that you will always be at the location your schedule calls for at any given time of the day or night - - rehearsals, classes, lessons, etc. "Lights out!" means that you will be in your dormitory room by the indicated time with the lights out and QUIET. Alcoholic beverages, drugs and smoking are strictly forbidden. Counselors have been instructed to report any infractions of these rules to the Camp Director. There will be NO INTER-DORM VISITATION between male and female campers. College policy states that an individual is required to make restitution for any property damage done by that individual in dormitory rooms or other college property. Since your dormitory room will be occupied by another individual the night following your departure, leave your room as you found it when you arrived.

REFUND: Inasmuch as faculty, staff, food and dormitory costs are fixed the day that enrollment is set, we cannot refund camper fees due to early departure for any reason from the camp. Deposits will be refunded if we are notified before May 30.

CLOTHING - UNIFORM: Sport-type clothing is recommended during classes and rehearsals. Shorts, slacks, sandals, etc. Standards for dress in the music business are relatively conservative. Bare midriffs and low necklines and short skirts are usually not appropriate during performances.
