Parents/guardians are expected to attend the Institute with their children.
The format of an Institute does not allow for constant supervision of students by the same teacher - students are moving between classes according to individualized schedules.
For families where parent/guardian attendance may not be possible please consider the following options:
● The usual 'practice parent' does not have to be the chaperone at camp! Feel free to involve grandparents and other family members, or familiar babysitters
● Families who are looking to share child-care duties can connect through our NLSI 2024 Facebook group (link coming soon!). This type of arrangement works best for families who have students playing the same instrument around the same level.
● Students ages 12+ and/or students entering Junior High in September can attend without a guardian present. Mature 10 and 11-year-olds may apply to attend without a guardian, upon the approval of STEP. Guardians will need to sign a waiver. Please contact stepnewfoundland@gmail.com for more information.
Please read through all package and class offerings below, and then submit your registration at the bottom of the page! Add a separate ticket/registration form for each student in your family.
