COVID-19 Safety Protocols
Kismet Kids Musical Theatre has established certain COVID-19 camp safety policies and procedures, which include:
* As California's governor has set June 15th as a goal for returning to normal, it may be possible to conduct live performances with a limited audience! We will make that assessment when the time comes, but in the meantime, the alternative plan will be to video record the performances on the last day of each workshop.
Violation of the safety policies may cause your child's removal from the camp WITHOUT refund.
- Mask wearing by all participants and staff required.
- Social distancing will be maintained by all participants and staff throughout the campus.
- Children will be separated into cohort groups based on age for all activities.
- A daily online Covid-19 screening questionnaire will be completed by each participant.
- Daily temperature checks will be conducted at check-in for all participants and staff.
- Camp performances will either be video recorded in the performing arts room, or conducted outdoors in the amphitheater. *
