On Thursday, August 9^th, family members are invited to attend our Summer Camp Showcase, during which time children’s artwork will be on display and a performance will be held in the Auditorium. The Showcase starts at 1 PM, but children are asked to arrive at the NACC at 10 A.M. to make final preparations.  Please note that attendance during all sessions in week six is MANDATORY for all students intending to perform in the show case, special considerations may be taken.

  Please note that children who participate in performance classes, ie. Theatre, Dance, Voice, are expected to attend every session they signed up for. Your child could be cast in the lead role of a short play, or be a featured dancer, it is therefore very important to staff and fellow campers that everyone selected for a performance is there to learn, rehearse, and perform. If a child does not attend the classes they signed up for, or has missed a substantial amount of sessions, they may not be permitted to perform in the Summer Camp Showcase, but are still invited to participate and learn in performance classes. In special cases, special permission to perform may be granted at the discretion of the instructor and the Camp Director.
