TRANSPORTATION
Bus transportation with designated pickup points at selected recreation centers aroundthe city will be available for all campers.
In order to keep the time on the bus to a minimum, the bus will only stop at the selected recreation centers. The total cost for six weeks of bus service is $100.00. Bus service is optional, but if you choose to use the camp bus service, it is the camper's responsibility to be at the assigned pickup site at the proper time. If you choose not to use the camp bus service, it is the responsibility of the camper to be at camp no later than 9AM. More than two incidents of lateness may result in expulsion from the camp.

CAMP FEES
1) The tuition for the six-week encampment is $180.00. A money order, payable to CITY OF PHILADELPHIA – PERFORMING ARTS, is due by the parent orientation meeting (June 19th, 2007).
2) There will be an additional camp registration fee of $100.00. A money order for the $100.00 registration fee should be made payable to C.A.S.E. ADVISORY COUNCIL. This fee pays for t-shirts, DVDs, Phillies tickets, and may be used to help defray the cost of costumes for the various performances. However, dancers in the program may need to purchase additional items (i.e. shoes and/or unitards).
3) If your child chooses to utilize our optional bus service, a money order for $100.00 should be made payable to C.A.S.E. ADVISORY COUNCIL. If your child is a Junior Musical Theater major and does not need bus service to Settlement Music School, the fee is $20 per week. Therefore, bus service for the final week at the Annenberg Center only is $20.00.
All fees are due at parent orientation on Monday, June 18th or Tuesday, June 19, 2007.
LUNCHES
Lunches and beverages will be provided to all campers. Campers may also bring their own lunch to camp but will not be permitted to purchase lunch at camp.
AUDITIONS
Only new applicants to the Young Performers Theater Camp (YPTC) will be required to audition for the camp. Each applicant should audition in his/her area of interest – Dance or Musical Theater. If a prospective camper has more than one area of interest, he/she should audition for the area in which they feel most confident. Remember, not all applicants will be accepted, so please come prepared to the audition.
To audition for dance, the dancers will be required to learn a series of dance combinations taught at the audition. Dancers will then perform the combinations in small groups for their audition. Please wear appropriate dancewear.
To audition for musical theater, you must bring sheet music (no tapes!) and sing with the piano (an accompanist will be provided). You will not be required to sing an entire song. One or two verses are sufficient. You must also prepare a monologue, no longer than one minute, for the audition. Auditions will be held at the Waterview Recreation Center @ 5826 McMahon Street; 19144 (Rittenhouse & McMahon Sts.). The audition dates for new campers will be Tuesday, May 15th or Tuesday, May 22nd from 6:00 – 9:30PM. However, you must have an appointment. A representative from the Performing Arts Office will contact you with the exact date and time of your audition after receiving the application and recommendation. Returning campers do not need to audition.
