Theatre Camps and Intensives

Terms and Conditions

Thursday 9pm prior to start of camp (space permitting).

Do not come to class if you are sick. If a student comes to class and is obviously ill, they will be asked to wait in the office while we phone their parents to pick them up.
If you have recently been sick and still have remaining symptoms (a lingering cough, runny nose), please wear a mask to class. If a student comes to class with mild symptoms, their teacher may ask them to put on a mask.
OST has a long history of being a community-minded place where everyone can belong and participate. We strive to have a kind space, one where everyone who is not currently sick is free to wear a mask or not wear a mask without judgement. We ask for your compassion towards others by respecting their health, and their choices.

Students must be within the age range of the camp by September 30. For example, if your child turns 6 before September 30, they are eligible for our age 6-8 camps.

OST reserves the right to make changes to the camp or intensive schedule following registration if required to accommodate demand.

Insufficient registration in any camp may result in its cancellation.

A transfer between camps or intensives will be considered, subject to availability. Camp and Intensive size is limited. All camps and Intensives will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

OST is committed to providing the best possible learning environment for all its students. The success of the program lies in the enthusiasm and co-operation of each student. Theatre is a TEAM sport. We expect students and parents to understand this and make every effort to attend all days of camp/intensive in the creation and development of their plays and performance pieces.

 

We will do our best to resolve any behavioural difficulties that may arise through empathetic communication with the student, adaptation of class activities if appropriate, and healthy boundary-setting. We want to see every student succeed, and we count on the support of parents as we work through any difficult situations  that arise from student behaviour.  However, if we are unable to resolve a disruptive situation, we will require that the disruptive student be withdrawn from the course without refund.

All camps/intensives end with a performance in the Richcraft Theatre at the end of the day on Friday. Please consult the camp/intensive listing for times of the show.

In the event of extreme weather or direction from Ottawa Public Health, classes will be held virtually, using the Zoom platform. You will be notified in advance when this is the case. Thank you for your understanding.

Additional Covid Lockdown Policy - In the event of a lockdown, all in-person classes will continue online with the same instructor at the same time. There will be no refunds issued due to any Covid-related issues.

Ottawa School of Theatre may occasionally videotape or photograph students during performances or camps/intensives. These images may be used by OST for promotional purposes without prior notice, including on our website, social media channels, and for media distribution. Names will only be used internally, and on our Front of House displays during showcases; names will not be posted online alongside photos.

All classes, camps, intensives and workshops are subject to our Payment and Refund Policy, which can be found here.
