Studio Camp Terms, Conditions & Liability Waiver
By completing registration / payment online, you understand and agree to the following:
COVID CLAUSES:
- While we have implemented appropriate cleaning, distancing, and screening measures in accordance with current Hamilton by-law and COVID health requirements, we cannot be responsible or assume liability if you, a family member or child contracts COVID or any other illness as a result of attending.
- You agree not to bring children who are displaying any signs or symptoms, or do not otherwise meet Health Canada requirements, to the studio.
- Children who do not pass health screening requirements, test as having a fever/high temperature upon studio entry temperature check, or have been asked to quarantine cannot be permitted to attend in-studio. We cannot provide refunds for such days, however, we can provide studio credit upon receipt of a medical note, or similar notice.
- In the case of a studio COVID outbreak, positive case, instructor illness, reintroduction of lockdown restrictions, etc. that prevents us from holding camp, any camp days that have not yet occurred will be refunded accordingly.
- Parts of the camp will be held outside on the studio patio and lawn area to help us best comply with the Ontario Day Camp guidelines and to further reduce risk of transmission for active activities. Dreamlight cannot be responsible or assume liability for any outdoor related incidents such as sunburn, bug bites, scrapes, dehydration, etc.
CAMP POLICIES:
REGISTRATION, PAYMENT & REFUND POLICY:
- Behaviour: Keeping a safe, fun, and comfortable class environment for our students is a top priority. Students must follow the instructions of their teacher, and treat all other students with respect. Bullying is not tolerated. Any student who is having behaviour issues that compromise a safe learning environment may be asked to leave or may not be permitted to return to camp, without refund.
- Clothing: Campers must wear appropriate clothing in which it is safe to move. Campers wearing unsafe clothing (pants too long that pose a trip hazard, shoes too big to stay on, etc.) will not be permitted to participate in any activity during which their clothing puts them at risk.
- Parents: Parents must drop off/pick up students at the door of the studio to help us adhere to capacity numbers at all times. Parents must pick up students no more than 5 minutes late. Any students left at the studio longer than 5 minutes late may incur a charge for after hour care. Parents will not be permitted to drop students off more than 5 minutes early unless they are enrolled in early care. .
- Instructors: Students will typically have the same instructor each day of camp, however we cannot guarantee this. Dreamlight reserves the right to substitute instructors if needed.
- Inclement Weather: In cases of extreme weather preventing us from using the outdoor area, certain active activities that we're currently not permitted to hold indoors may not be included within the camp.
- Class Size / Ages: We are currently taking only a maximum of 6 students, however Dreamlight reserves the right to increase enrollment capacity if reopening / COVID restrictions become more relaxed and easily allow us to do so. Camp ages are guidelines. Younger students with sufficient experience or older students with less experience may be permitted to join, at Dreamlight's discretion.
REGISTRATION, PAYMENT & REFUND POLICY:
- All payments made are non-refundable, even if the student is unable to attend classes that fall within that payment period, regardless of the reason, or is requested to leave the class due to a display of unsafe/threatening behaviour towards an instructor or another student. Please understand that in order for Dreamlight to provide this day camp at an affordable rate, we cannot make exceptions to this or any other payment policy.
- One week prior to the start of camp, the payment also becomes non-transferrable to another Dreamlight camp/class.
- Exception: If Dreamlight discontinues or cancels one or more days of the camp for whatever reason, a refund equivalent to the amount of any remaining camp days will be provided. In cases of cancellation, we apologize for any inconvenience but Dreamlight cannot be responsible for any disturbance this may cause in needing to find alternative childcare.
GENERAL LIABILITY WAIVER:
I understand & agree that when participating in day camp, dance, fitness, or any activities included within camp, there is a possibility of physical injury or death. I voluntarily agree to assume all risks & responsibility for any such injury or accident which might occur to me/my child during any Dreamlight Studio classes, camps, rehearsals, performances, or activities. I also exempt, release & indemnify Dreamlight Studio, its owners, agents, volunteers, assistants, employees, guest artists, faculty members, contractors, instructors, parents and/or students from any & all liability claims, demands, or causes of action whatsoever from any damage, loss, injury or death to me, my children, or property which may arise out of or in connection with participation in any classes or activities conducted at Dreamlight Studio. I further hereby voluntarily agree to waive my rights & those of my heirs & assigns to hold Dreamlight Studio, or anyone connected to the studio as mentioned above, liable for such damage, loss, injury, or death, including if any such occurrences come as a result of a failure to follow studio rules or listen to instruction given by staff, etc. I understand that due to the nature of activity instruction, some physical contact/touch between the instructor & students may be required at the instructor’s discretion (to correct posture, arm positions, etc.). If I do not wish for the instructor to make any physical contact with my child, I understand it my responsibility to inform the instructor of this prior to my child beginning lessons. I understand that I should be aware of my/my child’s physical limitations & agree not to exceed them & to inform the instructors of them as appropriate for safety. If I am agreeing to this waiver for a minor, I certify that I am the parent/guardian & have the right to waive these rights. While Dreamlight strives to keep food allergens out of the studio area, Dreamlight cannot guarantee or assume liability if students come into contact with their allergen, as Dreamlight is a public space. I grant permission to Dreamlight to use photos or videos of camp/my child for archive or publicity purposes including, but not limited to, website promos, recital videos, social media & print ads, without compensation. I have read, understood & agree to be bound by the above statements.
Thank you for your understanding as we work hard to keep dance safe and accessible to all!
