Greetings!

We hope everyone is having a Phantastic summer! Phantom camp is approaching quickly, and there are a few things we need from you ahead of time.

During camp, students will go to their strand on Monday (August 1) and Tuesday (August 2). On Wednesday and Thursday, students will get the opportunity to work in other strands on this year’s upcoming musical. On the last two days, students will pick 3 classes each day to participate in. Students can only take ONE class within their strand on either Wednesday or Thursday. The other 5 classes can be in any strand your student is not assigned to. We want students to explore other arts and prepare for this year’s all school musicals.

Please review the list below of course offerings and sign your students up for their classes online. They will be issued a schedule Wednesday morning when they arrive so they know where to go. There are 25 slots to each class. Once the class fills up, you’ll have to find another slot.Courses MUST be selected by Tuesday night, July 26th, at 11:59 p.m. Otherwise, your student will be assigned on a space available basis.

For example, on Wednesday, your student will have strand time before being dismissed to try 3 classes for 40 minutes each. On Thursday, they will take 3 other classes before also having time with their strand.

If you have any questions or any trouble with scheduling, please contact Alexis Spears, Marketing Coordinator. Her email is: , or you can contact the school via telephone.
