Referral refunds are issued to the original payment method during the second week of camp, once enrollment is confirmed.
Unfortunately, at this time we do not offer scholarships.
For special circumstances, payment plans may be approved as long as tuition is paid in full at least two weeks before camp begins. To request a payment plan, email info@summeractingcamp.com.
Unfortunately no. We hire our staff for the whole 3-week session (as opposed to per day). Hence, even if your child only attends some of the days of the session, we still have to hire our teachers for the full session.
All cancellations must be submitted in writing via email to info@summeractingcamp.com. We cannot accept cancellations or refund requests by phone or voicemail. Please allow up to two weeks for processing and confirmation.
Refunds are issued according to the following schedule:
Before March 1: Full refund minus a $150 non-refundable deposit (covers registration and setup costs)
March 2 - April 1: Refund minus 50% of tuition paid
April 2 - May 1: Refund minus 75% of tuition paid
After May 1: No refunds
Instead of a refund, families may request a full tuition credit for a future session, subject to availability. Please contact us to confirm space. Families may also choose access to the TEG Online Academy, which includes 50+ video lessons and 40+ downloadable arts activities.
If camp is canceled due to circumstances beyond our control (such as natural disasters or public emergencies), a full credit will be issued for a future session. No cash refunds will be provided in these cases.
ILLNESS POLICY
To maintain a healthy environment, campers who show signs of illness must be picked up promptly by a parent or guardian. Campers who are ill may not remain at camp, including during rehearsals or performances.
Please keep your child home - or expect a call for pick-up - if they experience:
Fever (over 100.5°F)
Persistent or excessive coughing, sneezing, or nasal drainage
Vomiting (more than twice in 24 hours)
Diarrhea that cannot be contained
Strep throat (must be on antibiotics for 24 hours and symptom-free)
Eye infections with discharge (until evaluated by a healthcare provider
Head lice or nits (after first treatment or proof of professional treatment)
Mouth sores with drooling (until evaluated by a healthcare provider)
Any illness deemed contagious or concerning by camp staff
If a camper begins to feel unwell during the day, we will provide care and supervision while contacting home for pick-up. If a mask helps a camper feel more comfortable while waiting to be picked up, one may be offered.
Thank you for partnering with us to create a healthy, supportive camp environment for everyone.
Students are broken up into groups based on age. If you would like to request your child be grouped with a friend of the same age, you may do so and we will do our best to accommodate your request. NO switching of groups is permitted under any circumstances for the safety of the campers, their families and our staff.
Yes! All campers will participate in a final performance on stage at the La Canada Playhouse on the last day of each session. Each camper will have a limited numbers of tickets for their family to be able to attend. Further details and on the time of the final show will be released during your camper's session.
The Summer Acting Camp is structured as a full-day, 3-week program and we hope your child can attend camp every day. If you have to miss a day, we completely understand and that's not a problem at all. If you have a longer schedule conflict that would cause you to miss more than a few days, please email us so we can work something out.
We would love to have your child attend all of our sessions! The signature classes will remain the same but out staff will work with students who attended the prior session to make sure they have a magical experience all over again!
At the Summer Acting Camp, we welcome all levels of experience! Our instructors are trained to adjust the curriculum to meet the individual needs of the students. Beginning students with no prior experience will be made to feel right at home while advanced students will be given differentiated instruction to ensure their needs are being met!
Nope, you won't need to purchase any special supplies or clothes - all performance materials are provided by the Summer Acting Camp! Campers do need to always wear closed toed shoes and socks to camp each day. You can find our full dress code policy here.
T-shirts ordered at the time of registration will be handed out within the first 5 days of camp. Additional t-shirts can be ordered through the session and will be distributed as soon as payment is received. If you would like to purchase a t-shirt or any of our Extras you can do so here.
Campers must bring a lunch and a water bottle labeled with their name - we don't provide meals for the students. Make sure that you pack extra snacks with their lunch (as there are two snack breaks during the day).
Please note that there is no microwave or refrigerator, and staff are unable to purchase food for campers. Food sharing is not permitted for safety reasons.
If a lunch is forgotten, parents may text (818) 957-1619 to arrange a drop-off.
BREAKS & LUNCH
Campers eat for the first half of lunch and then have various activities for the second half. We have age-appropriate Disney movies we play and/or a space for campers to do quiet activities. Break is only 10 minutes long and we use this time to make sure campers are able to use the restroom as needed and grab a snack. Campers are supervised by many staff members during breaks and lunch.
PICK-UP
Free aftercare is available from 3:30–5:00 PM during pick-up. During this time, students watch an age-appropriate Disney movie, supervised by staff assisting with dismissal.
Families who prefer a non-movie option may choose instructor-supervised aftercare in the lobby. Students must bring their own quiet activity (book, drawing materials, writing, puzzles, etc.). This option is available for an additional $300 for the full three-week session. To enroll in instructor-supervised aftercare, please email info@summeractingcamp.com.
