COVID-19 UPDATES

​JUNE 4th, 2020

INFO

​The Government of Ontario has release a specific guideline for the reopening of Summer DAY camps which we are eager to abide to and bring you all a summer of fun, creativity and expression.... though it may look slightly different. 

HUB has been hard at work preparing for theatre camps that abide by the rules and regulations put in place by the government and as always, we are dedicated to the health and safety of our campers and staff.
HUB Summer theatre camps WILL run as planned, but with camper caps in place, designated instruction areas with cohorts of 8 or less as well as a professionally edited digital copy of the show rather than a live production. 

Because of the unique nature of our camps, we feel especially prepared and ready to meet the health and safety requirements and give campers the chance to safely step on stage this summer. ​

  • Drop off and pick up will happen at the FRONT of the Rene M. Caisse Building via the loading door. Students/guardians who are late will have to call or text to alert drop off and to be met by staff.

  • Classes will be kept to a limited 40% capacity number to allow for physical distancing on stage and in the theatre.
  •  Students will be asked to wear their mask until in place on stage at their designated "Rehearsal position".
  •  During rehearsal times, students will be given their dance spaces (marked on stage) that are 2 meters apart from their fellow cast members.
