 FACILITY INFORMATION

The Vista camps are held in our two theaters in Downtown Vista - The BROADWAY and the OFF BROADWAYThe Broadway Theater is located directly behind Vista's Avo Playhouse on the quiet street of East Broadway—340 East Broadway.  The Off Broadway is located at 131 Main Street in Vista - a block East of the Krikorian Theater.  From the Broadway Theater the Off Broadway is one block east;  one block north; and one block east. 

The two spaces are a stones throw from each other. 

Both facilities are 'working theaters' that stage LIVE performances year round. 

 

VISTA CAMPS ENROLLMENT FEE

We pride ourselves on our affordable camps.  The cost of our camps are $240.00 per two week session—that’s less than $2.95 cents AN HOUR!  This enrollment fee includes two snacks a day, two field trips a week; all crafts and supplies and your child's costume rental and cleaning.  GREAT DEAL!!   NO PARTIAL enrollments will be allowed because the first day of camp we cast the SHOW and the kids perform in that show the second Thursday or Friday of camp. 

ALL the VISTA DRAMA CAMPS will present their show on Vista's gorgeous AVO PLAYHOUSE STAGE.

 

WHAT DOES MY CHILD GET IN THE VISTA CAMPS? 

(Items vary from camp to camp)

 

*   They get a speaking role in a full blown theatrical production, (If the camp you are registering for is doing a show)

*   A C.D. of orchestrated audition songs AND the sheet music to go with it.

      No more searching for a song when your child has an upcoming audition!

DAYS and TIMES of VISTA CAMPS

ALL VISTA camps are two weeks long, (Monday through Friday), and run from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (8:00 am. if a parent needs early drop off). If you require the EARLY DROP OFF option, the fee is an extra $5.00 a day and must be paid WHEN YOU REGISTER your child.  We do not offer drop off any earlier than 8:00 a.m.  Most parents use the EARLY DROP OFF option everyday, however, if you only need to utilize it on Wednesday's and Friday's we will be asking you in an email.  This email will be sent 1 week before the start of every camp.  The staff member who 'opens' the building will only allow children ON HIS or HER EARLY DROP OFF LIST to be dropped off before 8:45 a.m.  

 The structured day, when the kids are working with Randall Hickman or Douglas Davis, is between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. You are more than welcome to drop your child off at 10:00 a.m. and pick them up at 4:00 p.m.  After 4:00 p.m. the kids play games, watch movies and do crafts with our amazing counselors. While the structured time with the Director ends at 4:00 p.m., the camp remains open until 6:00 p.m. There is NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE if you pick up your child by 6:00 p.m.  We provide this extra two hour buffer for you free of charge.  However, there is a $1.00 per minute, per child, charge if you pick your child, (children), later than 6:10 p.m.. So, if you arrive at 6:20 p.m., there is a $10.00 charge, (per child), that must be paid BEFORE your child, (children), show up for the next day of camp.

DAYS and TIMES of SAN MARCOS CAMPS

ALL SAN MARCOS camps are two weeks long, (Monday through Friday), yet they are only HALF DAY CAMPS.  We created these camps because many parents are ‘stay and home’ and don’t need to place their child in a full day situation because of their work schedule but they want their child to have a fun, extra-curricular activity that doesn’t monopolize the child’s entire day.  Camp will run from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. - Monday through Friday for two weeks, There is NO early drop off or late pick-up available for the San Marcos Camp

 The structured day, when the kids are working with director’s Randall Hickman or Douglas Davis, is  10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Got more questions?  Click the link below.  You MUST be using Internet Explorer to view this page.

Text Box: In 2006 we began our Summer Drama Camp program!
That first year we staged three, two week camps. The camps were posted on the web site May 10th. By May 20th all three camps were full! Why? Because in our FULL DAY CAMPS we give the kids MORE field trips, (two per week); MORE crafts, (one everyday), and MORE fun than any other summer camp in North County. It also helps that we charge LESS than any other program. Shop around, you won’t find ANY OTHER CAMP that gives your child more for less. Co-owners Randall Hickman and Douglas Davis both come from very large families. They know, first hand, how hard it was for their parents to pay for extra-curricular activities. Your child’s extra-curricular activity should not break a working family’s budget.

Where there is always something going on.

Workshop #1

Workshop #2

       HALF DAY DRAMA CAMP #6:        August 5th through 16th      

As I write this, the date is March 6th.  In the 72 hours we have had our 2013 camps posted online we have had 75 registrations.  This happened last year as well.  Why does this happen?  Because our camps offer the most field trips, the most crafts and the most fun for your dollar.  If you haven’t registered your child as of yet you may want to do so ASAP.  We don’t charge the full price to your credit card until 2 weeks prior to the start of camp.  This year, (as it stated on the registration form), we are charging a non-refundable $25.00 ‘hold my slot’ fee.  Why?  Because parents registered early to get the camp they wanted and by the time the camp came around 3 months later they had planned vacations or it just couldn’t fit into their schedules. Consequently, we couldn’t fill the empty slots from our waiting lists  because everyone was already doing something else.  So be aware:  48 hours after you register for a camp, this non-refundable fee will be charged to your card and deducted from the total registration fee that will be charged 2 weeks prior to start of camp.
