Do you offer any discounts?
What does my camper need to wear/bring to camp?
All campers should wear clothes that allow a full range of motion, and dance friendly shoes such as sneakers or bring a change of jazz/dance shoes. Flip flops and sandals are not going to allow your camper to do their best footwork! Campers should bring a reusable water bottle, a nut-free packed lunch, and two nut-free snacks for the morning and afternoon. No food will be provided. Lunches will not be refrigerated so please use a cold pack if needed. We recommend a backpack or drawstring bag to keep each child’s food and possessions all together and a towel or mat to sit on for lunch at the park, and a book or small toy for quiet time after the park.
No food containing nuts is permitted at camp. All Authorized Camp Contacts will be asked to show ID at pick up. Sunscreen should be applied by families before camp each morning. (Lunch and recess is one hour at the park.) Actors will be given a Skyline T-shirt to wear over their clothes for daily trips to the park at lunch. If your child feels sick and/or is exhibiting contagious symptoms, please keep them home from camp.
What are your health and safety policies?
All camps are from 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., except for Broadway Juniors camps in Lincoln Park for ages 5-7 which end at 3:00 p.m. Pick up and drop off windows are 15 minutes before and after each camp starts and ends 8:45-9:00 and 4:00-4:15 (or 3:00-3:15 for Juniors). Skyline does not offer any extended care options as there has been very little demand in the past. For camp safety and to ensure a smooth day, it is required to pick up and drop off no earlier or later than the windows specified. Any late pick ups will be charged $1 per/minute payable to the instructor in cash, by Zelle, or by Venmo upon arrival.
What are your camp hours?
All campers will receive a camp t-shirt to wear to the park for lunch. Stars and Performers campers will receive hard copies of their scripts and digital access to musical tracks and choreography videos. Juniors and Highlights campers will receive digital musical tracks and a digital script (customized to their specific cast) to print at home. Costumes are not provided for any camps or performances; families will be given specific instructions for how to assemble a costume for their child’s assigned role.
Are any materials provided for my camper?
What can my actor expect on their first day at camp?
On the first day, actors will get to know their show in a collaborative way. Instructors will work to bring out the best in each child as they learn a song, dance, and explore the story’s characters. Please encourage your actor to keep an open mind to all the wonderful parts in a show, be brave, have a positive attitude, and sing and speak loudly and clearly! Every actor will be assigned a named role and create the ensemble for songs and dances; they will be onstage all or most of the show! The rest of the camp session, actors will be very busy working together as a team to learn and memorize their musical, although there will also be time for drama games, doing show-themed crafts, creative exercises, outdoor lunch and recess, and making friends!
If you have a child enrolled in a Lincoln Park Broadway Juniors camp with an older sibling in Lincoln Park Broadway Highlights, Stars, or Performers, the younger child may stay at camp with their sibling and observe their sibling’s camp until 4:00 p.m. so you can pick up both children together. A payment of $20/week is required for Juniors to stay late with their sibling.
Do I have to pick up children of different ages at two different pick up times?
My child is young but an extremely experienced performer. Can they be considered for a more advanced Broadway Camp?
Children ages 7-9 may submit a video audition for the Broadway Performers four-week Matilda productions if they have previous experience in singing, acting, and dancing and are ready for challenging material. All children are welcome at Skyline and have a place in our program; we will direct you to a less intensive Broadway Camp option if we believe the advanced Broadway Performers camp materials could be overwhelming for your actor. If you are interested in this camp option for a child under age 10, please email skylinestudioschi@gmail.com for further instructions before registering.
How can I prepare my child to audition at camp?
If your actor is curious about the Broadway Camp routine, wants to get to know their instructor in advance, or is hoping to prepare an audition for a certain special role, Skyline is offering an optional Broadway Camp Audition Workshop Friday June 9th 9:00-3:00. Actors will have a chance to meet the full Skyline Broadway Summer Camp Staff, learn a few songs and dances together, and receive private coaching for their show’s audition –whether it's our advanced Matilda Broadway Performers (ages 10-14), or Broadway Juniors Wizard of Oz Camp (ages 5-7). There will also be games, crafts, and, of course, an exciting trip to Oz Park for lunch and recess! Register now for the Audition Workshop so your actor can get a sneak peek behind the curtain and feel confident they are putting their best foot forward at Broadway Camp!
