NEW this year - Field Trips to the Park!
Students enrolled in the afternoon session will walk to Patriots Park once a week for organized activities and supervised free play in the fresh air. This will not affect dancer pick up, all afternoon students will be picked up at the RDA Studios at 3:00pm.
We will adhere to a 5:1 ration of dancer to designated adult.
The day will change each week depending on the availability of RDA faculty, staff, and volunteers. We will alert families in our 'Welcome' email - sent in advance of each camp week - which day we will go to the park that week.
We will have Coppertone sunscreen to use for all children. If you do not want to use this brand and/or prefer to provide your own, please reach out to the RDA office in advance of the start of camp and send your child with sunscreen each park day, labeled clearly with their name.
We will be doing general tick searches on exposed body parts at the end of each park day. We recommend doing a more thorough search when dancers get home.
Parent volunteers to help with park days are welcome - reach out if you are interested!
Pizza Party + Showing on Fridays!
If your dancer is signed up for a half day morning only, we invite them to stay for the full day on Friday (no added cost).
Dancers will enjoy a cheese pizza from Capri Pizza every Friday for lunch, provided by RDA.
Parents are invited to join us in-studio at 2:30pm each Friday; the showing is a chance for dancers to show their family what they have been working on all week.
If you are a half day morning dancer, please email us to confirm whether your dancer will stay on Fridays.
