Q: When can I sign up for camp?
A: You may sign up for camp at any time prior to the session you wish to attend. Many of our weeks fill by the end of March, so early enrollment is always advised.
Q: How much does camp cost?
A: Please visit our "Dates/Rates" page. We offer discounted rates for early-bird registration, multiple weeks and siblings from the same family.
Q: If my child stays for more than one week is there a charge for the weekend stayover?
A: No, the Saturday night between sessions is included in the price.
Q: What activities are provided during a weekend stayover?
A: There is an organized field trip (usually involves shopping!) for campers staying over the weekend. They are also invited to dinner at a restaurant in the resort village. Parents should send their child with extra spending money for weekends.
Q: Can I visit the camp during the week?
A: For the safety of all campers and to provide all campers with the "total camp experience", no visitation is allowed during the camp week.
If your child is staying more than one session and you wish to take her off the camp grounds on the weekend you may do so on Saturday from 1:00 - 7:00 p.m. or on Sunday from 9:00 - 2:00 p.m.
All visitors must report to the Director upon arrival at camp with photo identification.
Q: How are the campers supervised?
A: 24 hour supervision is provided. The campers are supervised at all times during dance classes, activities and free time. ADTC staff live with campers 24/7 and we maintain a staff to camper of at least 1:7.
Q: My daughter is a very experienced dancer, will the dance classes be challenging enough?
A: ADTC staff members are accomplished dancers and teachers. They are Radio City Rockettes, Broadway dancers and MTV performers. Any experienced dancer is lucky to spend a week learning from teachers of this caliber. Our “dance screening” on Sunday nights helps teachers assess the ability of each camper and place them in a dance group that is appropriate for them for the week.
Q: My daughter has never danced before, will she be the only one?
A: No! We have many campers who attend ADTC for the summer camp experience and to spend a week learning cool moves. This way campers can assess if dance is something they'd like to pursue back home!
Q: How are the classes organized and what will I learn?
A: Classes are organized by age and ability. Our teachers are world class so we hope you will take advantage of the chance to learn as much as possible from them. Our instructors teach beginner to extremely high levels. If you want to learn a particular trick or technique, they can show you how.
Q: Where can I buy the dance apparel I need for camp?
A: As far as dance apparel, you will need black jazz shoes or sneakers, as well as leotards and dance shorts/pants. You can find everything you need at www.DiscountDance.com.
Q: My daughter is coming alone. Do many girls come alone?
A: Yes! Camp is the best place to make friends with girls who have similar interests.
Q: Is there a curfew?
A: Campers must be in their rooms by 10 PM and have the lights out by 10:30 PM.
Q: Can my child travel alone to camp?
A: We have many young campers that travel alone to our camp. You can request "Unaccompanied Minor" service from all the airlines. They will make sure that your child stays in the care of the Airlines until the approved pickup person picks up the child at the other end. You would simply register the camp’s shuttle service as the receiving party. The cost is minimal and some airlines do this for free. You can also request the same service for the return portion so that they stay with airline staff right from when they check in on the departure day.
Q: Medical Facilities?
A: All ADTC camps take place at developed international resorts on the scale of Vail or Aspen. We have full scale medical centers near both camp facilities that are very experienced at handling all emergencies. We require you to fill out a series of health forms including a medical history and "Authorization to treat a minor."
Q: My child is a vegetarian. Is there food provided for them?
A: Each of our meals includes a selection of food suitable for vegetarians. At each lunch and dinner meal we also provide a full salad bar.
Q: My child has medical dietary restrictions. How is this handled?
A: If, due to medical reasons, your child requires special foods, you should purchase the required items and bring them to camp with you. During check-in a kitchen staff member will be available to discuss your child's requirements and receive any instructions you may have concerning your child's diet. You should also discuss any special dietary requirements with the camp director. Please remember to label all the food items you bring to camp with you, as we often have other children with specific food, too. All foods will be stored in the kitchen or health center - NO food can be kept in the cabins.
Q: My child is on medication. How does the camp handle this?
A: During check-in our medical staff will meet with you and discuss your child's medication(s). ALL medications are kept in the director's office and dispensed according to your physicians instructions. Please remember, children should not have ANY medications in their room, this includes things such as Tylenol, Advil, vitamins, eyedrops, etc.
