Under provincial guidelines, day camps and social gatherings are permitted to take place as of June 11, 2021. With this in mind, we have kept our cohort sizes and class sizes capped lower than the guidelines suggest are acceptable. We feel that a smaller overall cohort will help to make families feel comfortable trusting us with their most valuable people.

All of our instructors have received their full Covid-19 vaccinations. We have also applied for the provincially subsidized rapid antigen testing kits for summer camps to provide an extra level of security for families. Our daily screening process online is in keeping with current guidelines, and both staff and camper temperatures will be take and monitored onsite daily.

Much of our programming will take place out of doors to allow for more distancing, however should inclement weather require us to be indoors we have HEPA filter air purifiers to aid in ventilation and air purification. For all vocal work and singing campers will be provided with an impermeable barrier in order to keep campers and staff safe from any aerosolizing particles. Masks are mandatory indoors for campers over age 5, and medical grade masks as well as impermeable barriers will be used by staff at all times indoors.

At the end of each with, in conjunction with provincial guidelines, campers will present their week's work outdoors in a showcase performance for physically distanced spectators of family only.
