Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis.  Upon full enrollment, a waitlist will be available.  Should a place become available, families on the waitlist will be invited to enroll in the order in which they joined the waitlist.

Each Camp Broadway program has a dedicated page on our website featuring program details and other important information titled “The Callboard”. A link to this page will be provided to you in the confirmation email you receive once your child is enrolled.  This will be included in all subsequent communications. Here we will update you on details specific to your family’s time with Camp Broadway. Details about travel deals and program locations, to lunch menus, and costumes will be updated there for you.

A final detailed schedule will be posted 2 weeks before the program start date.  Daily start and end times will not change.
