I want to come to camp. Where do I start?

The first step for everyone towards getting to camp is filling out an application.

Applications are free to submit and have no strings attached; they cost you nothing but some time and effort, and they neither obligate you to attend camp nor guarantee you a spot at camp.

I filled out and submitted the application - now what?

We will review your application and send an admissions decision to applicants and their guardians via email. Admissions are rolling until the session is full or the applications close on Sunday, May 17, 2020 — whichever is sooner. Most admissions decisions are made within 24 hours.

I was accepted! Now what?

Congratulations on your acceptance! But you’re not done yet – after submitting the application and being accepted, parents and guardians must then register to secure their campers’ place in one or both sessions.

Registration requires a $150 tuition deposit and guarantees your spot in the accepted session. Acceptance emails sent to campers and their families will contain a custom link to their personal registration form, as well as a link to the financial aid application.

How do I apply for Financial Aid?

Only accepted campers may apply for financial aid. Accepted campers and their families will receive a link to a customized financial aid form in their acceptance email.

Campers and parents should fill out the financial aid application together. Families may apply for financial aid at any time after acceptance, whether before or after registering, but must apply before the financial aid application deadline on April 1.

How is "registering" different from "applying"?

Registering is not the same as applying! As it says above, the ASC Theatre Camp does not charge an application fee (because applying to camp shouldn’t cost you anything), but accepted applicants must in turn accept their acceptances by submitting the registration form – which includes paying a $150 tuition deposit.

Registration is required to hold your place in either session. If you do not register and pay the $150 non-refundable tuition deposit, you may lose your place and move to our waiting list.

Please carefully review the registration checklists for both campers and parents.
