MORE CAMP INFO. at bottom of page!

In 2006 we began our Summer Drama Camp program!

That first year we staged three, two week camps. The camps were posted on the web site May 10th. By May 20th all three camps were full! Why? Because in our FULL DAY CAMPS we give the kids MORE field trips, (two per week); MORE crafts, (one everyday), and MORE fun than any other summer camp in North County. It also helps that we charge LESS than any other camp. Shop around, you won’t find ANY OTHER CAMP that gives your child more for less.   Co-owners Randall Hickman and Douglas Davis both come from very large families.They know, first hand, how hard it was for their parents to pay for extra-curricular activities. Your child’s extra-curricular activity should not break a working family’s budget.                                                                                    

 

 

 

 

 

OUR VISTA, CALIFORNIA CAMPS….

During the summer of 2012 we will be offering five, two week - FULL DAY Drama Camps in Vista.  Four of these camps will be for children 7 to 14 years and one of the camps will be a STAGE 2 CAMP.  This is our TEENS ONLY CAMP.  You must between 13 and 18 years. 

Details about the YOUTH and STAGE 2 CAMPS can be found at the bottom of the page.

 

OUR SAN MARCOS, CALIFORNIA CAMPS….

THIS YEAR we are introducing something new...TWO HALF DAY Camps in San Marcos!

During the past couple of years parents have been telling us that they wanted their child to participate in our camps, but they didn’t want their child gone all day.  So we came up with something we think ‘stay at home’ parents will love. 

One camp will run mornings, the other afternoons.  These half day camps don’t offer as many field trips or snacks.  See DETAILS at bottom of page.

 

As always, at the end of ALL camps the kids perform in a mini show for family and friends either on the AVO PLAYHOUSE Stage or HEARTH THEATER Stage in San Marcos.

 

Sign up ASAP because we ALWAYS fill up FAST!

Presenting our 2012 Summer Drama Camps!

Our 2012 Vista Summer Drama Camps!

The two spaces are a stones throw from each other.

If you require the EARLY DROP OFF option, the fee is an extra $5.00 a day and must be paid WHEN YOU REGISTER your child.  We do not offer drop off any earlier than 8:00 a.m.  Most parents use the EARLY DROP OFF option everyday, however, if you only need to utilize it on Wednesday's and Friday's we will be asking you in an email.  This email will be sent 1 week before the start of every camp.  The staff member who 'opens' the building will only allow children ON HIS or HER EARLY DROP OFF LIST to be dropped off before 8:45 a.m.  

 The structured day, when the kids are working with Randall Hickman or Douglas Davis, is between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. You are more than welcome to drop your child off at 10:00 a.m. and pick them up at 4:00 p.m.  After 4:00 p.m. the kids play games, watch movies and do crafts with our amazing counselors. While the structured time with the Director ends at 4:00 p.m., the camp remains open until 6:00 p.m. There is NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE if you pick up your child by 6:00 p.m.  We provide this extra two hour buffer for you free of charge.  However, there is a $1.00 per minute, per child, charge if you pick your child, (children), later than 6:10 p.m.. So, if you arrive at 6:20 p.m., there is a $10.00 charge, (per child), that must be paid BEFORE your child, (children), show up for the next day of camp.

DAYS and TIMES of SAN MARCOS CAMPS

ALL SAN MARCOS camps are two weeks long, (Monday through Friday), yet they are only HALF DAY CAMPS.  We created these camps because many parents are ‘stay and home’ and don’t need to place their child in a full day situation because of their work schedule but they want their child to have a fun, extra-curricular activity that doesn’t monopolize the child’s entire day.  So , CAMP #1 will run from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. - Monday through Friday for two weeks, and CAMP #2 will run from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. - Monday through Friday for two weeks.  If you require the EARLY DROP OFF, (No earlier than 8:00 a.m.) or the LATE PICK UP option, (no later than 6:00 p.m.) the fee is an extra $5.00 a day and must be paid WHEN YOU REGISTER your child. 

 The structured day, when the kids are working with director’s Randall Hickman or Douglas Davis, is  9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for the morning camp and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for the afternoon camp.  Got more questions?  Click the link below.
