WHAT IS THE CAMP’S MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY? We are dedicated to providing safe spaces for students to learn and grow through the arts. We believe in CREATIVITY, COLLABORATION, and CONFIDENCE WHAT SAFETY MEASURES ARE IN PLACE? RMT employees are bound by a Child Protection Policy which maintains the strongest sense of integrity and care in interactions with children. We follow strict protocols during check-in and pick-up. WHAT IS THE CAMPER-TO- COUNSELOR RATIO? 1:12 Most of our camps are capped at 25 students, and instructors will be assisted by faciliators and/or stage managers. Administration staff is also present every day. HOW ARE STAFF MEMBERS SCREENED AND TRAINED? RMT’s Teaching Artists are highly skilled instructors who have both practical theatre experience and teaching experience. We employ professionals who meet all of RMT’s safety and learning standards.
IS THERE A DAILY SCHEDULE, AND CAN YOU PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE? Schedules will vary by age and camp, but there are usually blocks of instruction in acting, singing, or dancing, with breaks in between. ARE THERE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FREE PLAY OR DOWNTIME? Younger students will have more creative play times with quiet work and frequent breaks. Older students have breaks and meal times built in. HOW DOES THE CAMP HANDLE HEALTH ISSUES AND ALLERGIES? Instructors, facilitators, and RMT Administration work together with all health/allergy information provided for all students. We are happy to work through any specific needs for your child. ARE THERE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARENTS TO VISIT OR PARTICIPATE IN CAMP ACTIVITIES? For safety reasons, parents are not permitted during the camp day. Most of our camps end with a “sharing” performance for family and friends to see the theatre skills learned.
