When will I drop off my student?
Students need to arrive for registration between 1pm and 5pm on Sunday, the first day of camp. After registering, students will perform placement auditions for their respective Artist Faculty. More info is available by visiting the Camp Schedule.
When will I pick up my student?
Students will check out between 11am and 12:30pm on Saturday, the last day of camp. Students and parents will load up their belongings and enjoy the barbecue during this time. The Final Concert usually occurs at 1:30pm at Wallowa High School (the exact time and location are subject to change), and usually lasts for at least two hours, after which time students are free to leave. More info is available by visiting the Camp Schedule.
Can I stay at the camp, too?
Is there transportation to camp?
We cannot offer transportation to camp, however, parents are more than welcome to arrange carpooling for their students. On the application form, please check the box allowing us to release your phone/email to other campers in your area so you can arrange carpooling.
Check out this handy list of arrival info, including what to bring.
What is the cellphone policy?
The natural setting of camp is conducive to intensive development of musical and personal skills. We have found cellphone distract from those goals; therefore, we ask you either leave your phone at home or give it to camp staff at registration for safe keeping. A camp phone is available for emergency call.
Can I make a bunk request?
At this time we cannot fulfill bunk requests.
Are there menu options for campers with food allergies or restrictions, i.e. vegetarian / gluten free?
Yes. Please make these requests when filling out the health form.
Please let us know if your child needs help with medications when filling out the health form. Note given thinner air, exercise, and possibly smoke from regional forest fires that may impact students with asthma: please make sure to pack inhalers as appropriate.
If your child becomes ill at camp, you will immediately receive a phone call from Camp Staff/Nurse. Together we will evaluate the severity of your child’s illness to allow for a decision as to whether or not your child can or should remain at camp. If the illness is urgent, your child will be taken by Camp Staff/Nurse to the hospital in Enterprise, Oregon. If the illness is contagious, your child will be quarantined to await your arrival for pick up.
To whom should I make registration checks payable?
Why am I being charged more to use my credit card?
We charge a small fee to cover the costs of using a credit card.
Can I pay the registration fee in installments?
Yes! As long as the minimum deposit is paid by the deadline and full payment is received on or before check-in, you can mail check(s) at any frequency that fits your budget, or contact the Camp Manager via email to arrange for debit/credit card payments. If you mail a check, please be sure to include your camper’s full name and which camp he or she is attending so the payment can be properly credited.
