#1 – ONE Awesome Summer Ahead!
Save the date: Encore’s Summer Camp Registration Opens on March 1st!
At Encore, we are already hard at work planning our award-winning camp programs! We believe that summer enrichment is essential to the social, emotional, and mental well-being of children in our community. We cannot wait to be back together again onstage.
We are currently planning for a fully in-person summer camp season. Session information will be posted to our website on February 15.
This school year, we have developed thorough COVID-19 procedures for our in-person classes. We will follow all CDC, Virginia and local health guidelines and adapt programming as pandemic conditions dictate, such as holding camp outdoors, adjusting enrollment capacity or adding additional locations. We have also updated our camp refund policy because we understand that all of us will need flexibility this summer!
You are invited to join us for a Summer Camp Parent Q&A session on Saturday, February 20 at 10 am via zoom.
We will share our exciting summer plans and we want to understand your questions and concerns.
That’s the latest on Encore! We can’t wait to see you all in our spring and summer programs!
