CAMP POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION/RECEIPT
Students are registered upon receipt of the registration form and payment. A confirmation of registration is sent when a valid email address is provided.
REGISTRATION DATES/REFUNDS
Registration begins January 1, 2024. Payments are due at the time of registration. After June 1, you are entitled to a 50% refund until one week prior to the camp start date. After that we do not issue refunds of any kind. If you cancel your child’s registration, you may keep the money on account to be used for camp the following summer.
No refunds offered for Summer Stock after July 1.
No refunds offered for MTI after July 15.
No refunds offered for SAS after July 29.
HEALTHY AND SAFETY
It is recommend that participants receive the latest Covid-19 vaccination/booster. If
your child is feeling sick, they should stay at home and not attend camp until they are
well again. Please note, Olney Theatre Center may choose to increase safety
measures and requirements for participants (including mandatory mask-wearing) if
the Covid-19 community level in Montgomery County increases to yellow or red.
SUBSTITUTIONS
Olney Theatre Center reserves the right to make faculty or programming substitutions.
ATTENDANCE/MAKE-UPS
Olney Theatre Center does not guarantee that classes canceled due to circumstances beyond our control (i.e. weather, power outage) will be made up; no refunds will be issued. We do not offer makeup classes due to a child’s inability to attend.
CODE OF CONDUCT
In order to provide students with a safe and supportive environment, Olney Theatre Center does not tolerate any form of physical or verbal abuse, vandalism, or the use of any and all illegal substances. Any behaviors found in violation of this policy will be addressed and the child may be asked to leave the class, and no refunds will be issued. No weapons of any kind may be brought into the buildings.
SIBLINGS/GUESTS
In order to provide a safe environment for your child, siblings and guests may not accompany students to class under any circumstance.
PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY
Olney Theatre Center and hired photographers reserve the right to use photos and videos taken in camps, classes, and performances for promotional use (via print or the web) and archival purposes.
ACCESSIBILITY AND INCLUSION
Olney Theatre Center is deeply committed to serving children of all abilities and endeavors to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all students. We encourage parents to contact a member of our Education staff prior to enrollment (preferably at least two weeks before the start of camp) to discuss reasonable and respectful accommodations and support strategies to ensure a successful experience at Olney Theatre Center. In the rare case that a child is a direct threat to the safety of themselves or others, Olney Theatre may withdraw the student and refund any prorated tuition.
LIABILITY
Olney Theatre Center is not liable for the well-being and safety of children who are around any of our facilities before a program begins or after a program ends.
RELEASE AGREEMENT
By registering your student, you agree to the following: Although every effort is made to provide a safe environment, I recognize there is always a risk of accident. By submitting a registration, I agree to be responsible for any medical bills incurred resulting from illness or injury during my student’s participation at Olney Theatre Center. Students are expected to carry their own accident and medical insurance. I release Olney Theatre Center from any and all liability and/or claims or damages arising out of personal injury of any kind. If necessary, I authorize Olney Theatre Center to administer first aid and/or authorize medical treatment for my student.
