Summer Registration Fees
Kidstock! Creative Theater registration includes a small seasonal registration fee per family. Your registration fee will be automatically applied at checkout. This fee is non-refundable and help us cover staff and administrative costs.
A one-time $25 registration fee is applied to the first family registration for any SUMMERSTAGE registration for June–August 2025.
Summer Refunds
If you can no longer attend your summer program, you have two options: Transfer or Withdraw.
TRANSFER: If you wish to avoid any withdrawal fees, you can transfer to another SUMMER week (availability depending). There is never a penalty for transferring your registered week to another available week if your schedule changes. Please contact us immediately by email if you would like to transfer at [email protected]
WITHDRAW: If your plans change and you are unable to transfer to another SUMMER week the following withdrawal fees per session apply:
- Withdraw before March 1: there is a $50 withdrawal fee
- Withdraw before May 1: there is a $100 withdrawal fee
- Withdraw after May 1: there is no refund, however a 50% tuition credit will be placed on your account for future use.
Discounted tuitions are not eligible for any refund or credit.
Please note, the $25 Summer Family Registration Fee is nonrefundable. All requests for transfers and withdrawals must be submitted in writing by email to [email protected]. Withdrawals must be submitted by NOON on the Friday before your summer week for the refund policy to apply. There are no refunds or partial credits during a session week for early withdrawal or missed days for any reason.
Summer Policies
Arrival & Dismissal
Our full day program for all ages runs from 9 AM–4:30 PM. Every program has an assigned arrival/dismissal location with a 30 minute window. Late arrivals and early dismissals go to the office.
- Arrival is from 8:45–9:15 AM
- Dismissal is from 4:15–4:45 PM
All communication about late arrivals, early dismissals, and absences must come from a parent. We will not accept messages from students.
Early dismissal is respectfully discouraged. Our summer curriculum is carefully planned and often cumulative. Leaving early can result in students not having the ability to fully prepare for the program’s final presentation, learn songs and dances, rehearse, or finish art projects. We ask that all families please refrain form scheduling other activities or medical appointments during your Kidstock! summer program.
If you absolutely must request an early dismissal, please notify our office in advance and confirm on the morning of by email to [email protected]. Students and parents should go to the office for early dismissal. We are unable to offer early dismissals after 4:00 PM.
Attendance & Absences
Our program requests that you attend all day, every day barring any unforeseen illness – please plan accordingly so you do not arrive late or need to leave early.
Our Friday Presentations rely on the consistent attendance of everyone to successfully build the stage stories we want to share. We ask that, whenever possible, you please prioritize the Kidstock! experience you have registered your child for this week over other classes, appointments or social events that can be rescheduled.
Please communicate by email or phone directly with the office, not any of our teaching staff, about absences, issues or conflicts.
If you know in advance of any conflicts in your family’s schedule that will require your child to arrive late, leave early or be absent, please take the time to email us so we can adjust our plan as best as possible to be inclusive of your child.
What to Bring / What Not to Bring
Students should bring both a backpack and a water bottle labeled with their name. See below for more information on snacks and lunch. We also recommend bringing a change of clothes if there is a chance of a bathroom accident.
Students are discouraged from bringing valuables and toys that will become a distraction. Cell phones are not allowed to be on and used during the program day.
We are together for the day to explore theater and interact with each other. Kidstock! is a “technology free space” from 9 AM–4:30 PM.
Snacks & Lunch
Reminder: Kidstock! is a NUT FREE zone.
SNACKS:
- All students should pack a nut free morning snack.
- Please pack a second nut free snack if your child is staying for extended day.
LUNCH:
- Students should bring a nut free lunch.
Medications
Students with inhalers or epi pens must hand these to the office. Any other medication must also be handed to the office with label and dosage instructions.
