Day-to-Day Operations

Campers should dress in comfortable clothing they can move in and wear sneakers. Each camper should bring a lunch (nut-free), 2 snacks, a water bottle, and a towel to sit on during lunch. Please label all personal belongings.

All young actors must be 5 years old before the start date of their camp even if they are starting kindergarten the next school year.

Camps are capped at 10-18 students depending on age group.

Only our Woodruff Arts Center location has staggered drop-off and pick-up times. If you are transporting campers in camps with different drop-off and pick-up times, you can drop off all campers at the earliest drop-off time and pick up all campers at the latest pick-up time. Campers will be supervised by Alliance Theatre drama camp staff if they are dropped off early or awaiting pick up. 

Aftercare will be provided at the Woodruff Arts Center, Decatur at The Museum School, and Grant Park at Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School campuses until 6 PM. Aftercare is $25/day and can be purchased as an add-on to your camp purchase, at the link below, or by calling 404-733-4466.
