FOR A FUN & SAFE SUMMER CAMP EXPERIENCE<br />

COVID-19 Safety Protocol<br />

Safety has always been a top priority at <strong>SummerPrep</strong>,<br />

and it is even more so during <strong>SummerPrep</strong> <strong>2021</strong>.<br />

<strong>SummerPrep</strong> will follow all COVID-19 safety procedures,<br />

including social distancing, frequent sanitizing, and<br />

wearing masks at all times (except when eating lunch<br />

outside with socially distanced spacing).<br />

In order to adhere to all COVID-19 safety precautions, all<br />

<strong>SummerPrep</strong> classes will be at 25% capacity to maintain<br />

the safest environment possible. In general, that means<br />

each class will have 10 or fewer students.<br />

<strong>SummerPrep</strong> staff will continue to monitor the evolving<br />

safety guidelines and adapt appropriately to provide<br />

a safe and enriching experience for all <strong>SummerPrep</strong><br />

campers. This may mean a change in class offerings.<br />

Families will be notified of any updates before the<br />

<strong>SummerPrep</strong> session begins.<br />

More information about specific COVID-19 safety<br />

procedures will be sent to families before the start of<br />

<strong>SummerPrep</strong>.<br />

Registering for Classes by<br />

Grade Level<br />

Classes are scheduled based on the grade level that a<br />

student will be entering in the fall. For example, a class<br />

for Grades 5 - 8 is for students who will be in 5th - 8th<br />

grade in Fall <strong>2021</strong>.<br />

Lunch and Snacks<br />

If COVID-19 safety guidelines permit, lunch and snacks<br />

will be available for purchase during <strong>SummerPrep</strong> from<br />

the Prep Café. More information about lunch and snacks<br />

will be sent to families before the start of <strong>SummerPrep</strong>.<br />

Students are welcome to bring their own lunch and<br />

snacks from home.<br />

Dismissal from <strong>SummerPrep</strong><br />

Students are expected to behave according to wellaccepted<br />

principles of behavior. <strong>SummerPrep</strong> has a<br />

zero tolerance policy when it comes to bullying. The<br />

<strong>SummerPrep</strong> Director reserves the right to dismiss<br />

any student at any time. Refunds will not be granted<br />

should a child be dismissed from <strong>SummerPrep</strong>.

Theater Boot Camp NEW!<br />

In this brand new class, we will break down the world of<br />

theater, improv, characterization, dance, props, scenic<br />

painting, costumes, and so much more! Pick up the<br />

rules of improv through playful games like “Yes And”<br />

and “Word at a Time.” Create characters and make<br />

classic stories your own as we explore famous plays and<br />

musicals. Bring Broadway numbers to life, whether you’re<br />

new to dance or honing your existing skills. Study the<br />

science and art of lighting design and how it can make<br />

or break a powerful scene. See how a detailed stage<br />

backdrop transports an audience to a far away land and<br />

how props make the unbelievable believable. Experience<br />

all of this and more as you rotate through Theater Boot<br />

Camp “mini-classes” throughout the day. Join Sandia<br />

Prep’s very own Theater Teacher and Dance Instructor,<br />

Louis Giannini, and other local artists as they guide<br />

you through this fantastic, comprehensive theatrical<br />
