2. Label all belongings, including clothes and bedding, with indelible ink or labels.

3. Instrumentalists should prepare a piece of music for camp auditions and be prepared to sight-read and

play scales. No advanced preparation is required for choral auditions. Students auditioning for the

Musical Theater Showcase will be asked to prepare a video for submission prior to June 1st. Details will

be provided on the Course Registration Worksheet from the Registrar.

Campers are required to bring FOUR (4) Covid rapid tests with them. These tests will be used during

week one testing and in the event of the camper presenting any symptoms of Covid-related illness. If they are

not used during the camper’s stay, they will be returned before departure from camp. These tests are available

for free from the US government through May 11, 2023 at https://www.covidtests.gov/ Please order these

soon, as they may take a few weeks to be delivered.

Placement Auditions

All campers in the Core Session audition on the first full day of the session. Auditions are for the purpose of

placing you in the appropriate groups and ensembles. Be prepared to play something you know well, and also

be prepared to sight-read and play scales. Saxophone players should prepare a classical piece. See above for

Choral and Musical Theater auditions. Be sure to bring sheet music with you for the audition.

Housing

In fairness to all, cabin assignments will be made strictly by chronological age. No exceptions will be

made. Effort will be made to avoid housing changes at mid-season for all full-season campers; however,

some changes may be unavoidable.

Camper Banking

Campers will NOT BE PERMITTED to keep cash or valuables in the cabin. This summer NEMC will be

using Square as our Camper Banking System. Campers may either load money onto their NEMC Cards or

they may bring debit/credit cards with them. Most campers deposit approximately $100.00 per session into

the NEMC Bank. Campers that load money onto their account will receive an NEMC debit card and use it for

all money transactions. Camper debit cards can be used at the Canteen, Library, and Office for treats, music,

personal items, and to withdraw money for off-campus trips. Balances over $5.00 remaining in Camper

Banking are returned to campers at the end of the camp session. We will send additional information

regarding camper banking later in the Spring.

Telephone

The office phone is not available for campers and staff except in an emergency. Public phones are available.

We ask campers to make calls only when absolutely necessary, and to limit each call to five minutes. Please

note: the camp phones will be unavailable to campers for the first week at camp to allow them to immerse

themselves in the camp experience. We ask that parents not call the camp office during this time. We will

contact you with any concerns during that period. Remember, no news is good news! Following the first week

of camp, Junior campers (four younger cabins) will have access to the phones on Monday/Wednesday and

senior campers (four older cabins) will have access on Tuesday/Thursday. Phones will be open to all campers

Friday-Sunday. Campers may not make or receive calls during any class or scheduled activity or after 7:30

P.M, except in case of an emergency and then only with the authorization of a Head Counselor or Camp

Directors. Cell phones are not allowed on campus for the Core Program.

Drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Vaping

The possession and/or use of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or vaping materials will result in the offending camper’s

IMMEDIATE DISMISSAL with no refund of tuition. All tobacco and vaping products are prohibited on

camp grounds and at any related camp activity.

Community Service

Community is at the core of NEMC’s values. Because of this, every person at camp (campers, counselors,

faculty, staff, and administration) will be responsible for contributing to the camp community throughout the

summer. Community service tasks include assisting in the office, music library, canteen, at meals, concerts,

etc. Everyone will participate in at least one community service task. If you attend a school where community

service is required, you can bring any required forms and this can be applied to those hours.

Travel to Camp

NEMC requires a Camper Travel form on file with the camp office regardless of whether you will arrive by

car, plane, or bus. The Camper Travel Form can be found with other important forms in your Acceptd

account.

Arrival at camp – Registration at the Office begins at 12:00 PM for Core Camp with one-hour time slots

that must be selected on the travel form. Each time slot has a limited number of spaces, so if a time slot is not

available, all slots have been filled and you will need to choose another slot. Parents will not be allowed

beyond the camp parking lot and camp office on opening day.

Departure from camp – Campers must leave no later than 9:00 AM.

Faculty/Staff children unable to be vaccinated, we will not be able to welcome unvaccinated family members

on campus this season.

Due to restrictions related to Covid-19 Safety, we will not have a Camper Leave Policy this summer.. If a

student needs to leave campus for an emergency, it must be approved by the Camp Directors and upon

reentry, the student is subject to retesting and quarantine.

NEMC Electronics Policy

New England Music Camp offers a traditional summer camp experience in a rural setting. In keeping with

those traditions and sound youth camping guidelines and practices, personal electronics are not permitted at

NEMC. These include, but are not limited to: cell phones, smart phones, personal computers, tablet

computers, and gaming devices. Mobile phones necessary for travel will be collected upon arrival at camp and

returned upon departure.

NOTE: NEMC campers may bring personal music listening devices, but they may NOT be smart

phones or anything that can connect to WiFi. Campers will be asked to turn in their phones for the

session. Please plan accordingly if you want to listen to music with a personal device. All personal

property is the responsibility of the camper, and as such, campers are not encouraged to bring any belongings

to camp that they cannot afford to lose.

If it connects to WiFi, it is NOT permitted!

Here is a list of accepted electronics:

games to camp.

NEMC Camper Social Media Policy

New England Music Camp views social networking sites (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, TikTok etc.), personal

Websites, and Weblogs positively and respects the right of campers to use them as a medium of

self-expression. When a person chooses to identify himself or herself as a camper of NEMC on the internet,

readers may view the camper as a representative or spokesperson of the camp. Therefore, NEMC requires, as

a condition of participation in the camp, that campers observe the following guidelines when referring to the

camp, its programs or activities, its campers, and/or other employees, in a blog or on any social networking

website.

• Campers must be respectful in all communications and blogs related to or referring to the

camp, its campers, and/or other employees.

• Campers must not use blogs, websites, or social networking sites to disparage the camp,

campers, or employees of the camp.

• Any photos or messages that are linked or “tagged” from “friends” and attached to your

site(s) or profile(s) that are inappropriate must be removed.

• Campers must not post photos taken anywhere at camp that are inappropriate or break camp

rules.

• Campers must not use blogs, personal websites, social media messaging platforms, or social

networking sites to harass, bully, or intimidate employees or campers. Behaviors that constitute

harassment and bullying include, but are not limited to: comments that are derogatory towards race,

religion, gender, sexual orientation, color, or disability; sexually suggestive, humiliating, or

demeaning comments, and/or the sharing of personal information, without consent.

• Campers must not use blogs, personal websites, social networking sites, or any other form of

online communication to discuss engaging in conduct that is prohibited by camp policies, including,

but not limited to: the use of alcohol and drugs, sexual behavior, sexual harassment, inappropriate

language, and bullying.

• The use of our copyrighted camp name or logo is not allowed without written permission.

This includes the creation of websites, blogs, Facebook Pages, Twitter accounts, and/or any other

internet properties.

Any camper found to be in violation of any portion of this Social Networking

and Blogging Policy will be subject to immediate disciplinary action, up to and

including dismissal from camp, and/or appropriate legal action.

Health, Safety and Welfare

A Basic Health and Accident Insurance policy, which is to be supplemented by your insurance, will be

provided by NEMC. The policy and group number of your provider must be listed on the health form.

We require you to have a physical examination within twelve months of your arrival at camp. The health

form must be uploaded to your camper account by June 1, for Core & Combo Camper. If the health

form is not received by the start of camp, campers will not be allowed to stay on campus.

As a reminder, NEMC requires proof of vaccination, including all eligible boosters in order to attend the

NEMC season. If a camper is unvaccinated due to medical and/religious reasons, they must submit a

vaccination waiver before June 1 along with all accompanying documentation. These waivers can be found on

the NEMC Covid Protocol page on the camp website or by using the link below in the links section of this

packet.

If you have been under the care of a mental health professional within the last three years, the treating

physician or clinician must send a letter to the Camp Director by June 1 verifying your ability to be successful

in the camp setting in order to facilitate your adjustment to camp. This is mandatory..

Please note: All information will be treated confidentially.

If you take prescription or over-the-counter medications, please properly label and bring enough for

your stay at camp. All medications will be deposited in the camp health center and dispensed by the

camp nurses.

VERY IMPORTANT: Hospitals and doctors will refuse to treat you without parental permission. Therefore,

one of your parents MUST sign the authorization for treatment on the health form.

NOTE: All camper families MUST sign the Covid-19 Liability Waiver.

Payment Schedule

You have agreed to terms for your payment schedule. Please follow them, and make sure that all balances,

including extra fees are paid in full. Final payment is due May 1 for Core Campers and May 15 for Combo

Campers. In addition, you can add the camper banking money on the NEMC website prior to camp and skip a

step in the registration line. We will send instructions to do this later in the Spring. Transportation and

additional lesson fees will be added to your accounts at a later date.

New England Music Camp 2023 —COVID-19 Liability Waiver

Check in will begin with the health screening and submission of negative covid-19 from within

24 hours arrival. No family members may go beyond the camp parking lot and canteen area at

any time during opening day and no camper may go beyond said area until they’ve been cleared

to come onto campus. Once cleared, campers will be able to check-in to their cabins with their

counselors.

All campers MUST come with a negative covid test (PCR or antigen) from within the 24 hours of

arriving on campus or they may do a test upon arrival. All campers are also asked to bring with

them FOUR (4) at-home rapid tests in the event that they are needed during the camp session.

We ask that you read the following procedures carefully, and plan to adhere to them as stated.

The health and safety of our entire camp family is the most important factor in developing and

implementing these procedures, and we greatly appreciate your compliance with them.

In response to the current outbreak of Covid-19 throughout Maine, America, and the world, the

following procedures will be in place:

● Full Covid-19 Safety Protocols have been provided and reviewed. These can be found on

the camp website.

● Any camper that has exhibited symptoms of fever, cough and/or shortness of breath, or

has known exposure to the Covid-19 virus within 10 days prior to scheduled arrival at

camp must delay their arrival. Please communicate directly with camp administration

should you need to delay your arrival for any of the above reasons.

● All campers will be screened at the start of the check in process at NEMC. This screening

will include: questions about fever, cough, shortness of breath, and possible exposure to

the Covid-19 virus, as well as submission of negative test. Additionally, travel history and

temperatures may be taken.

● Any camper with an elevated temperature or other symptoms will be subject to removal

from camp until symptoms have abated and the camp nurses have documented the

health of the camper or staff member. The NEMC health center staff and camp directors

will collaborate with the staff member or camper and family if quarantine or removal

from camp is required.

● All campers agree to bring four (4) at-home covid tests to be used if needed during the

camp session.

● Should Covid-19 positive cases arise on campus, NEMC will not be held liable.
