For the SayPro January SCDR.4.4.2 SayPro Development 5 Days Performing Arts Camp, it is vital to ensure that all participants are properly registered on the SayPro platform. This step will help create an optimal experience for each participant, ensuring that instructors and organizers have relevant information to tailor sessions based on the participant’s experience, skills, and interests in the performing arts. The registration process will capture detailed insights into each participant’s background in theatre, dance, and music, allowing the camp to be structured for personalized growth and development.
Step 1: Initial Registration on SayPro Platform

Step 2: Medical Information and Special Requirements
Medical History
- A section will be included to collect medical information to ensure the safety and well-being of each participant during the camp. This information will be handled confidentially and shared only with relevant staff.
- Known Allergies (food, environmental, etc.)
- Existing Medical Conditions (e.g., asthma, diabetes, epilepsy) that may impact participation.
- Medication Information: Details about any medications the participant is taking.
- Physical Limitations or Injuries: This is especially important for dance and physical activities in theatre, as participants with mobility limitations may require special adjustments.

Special Needs or Accommodations
- If participants have specific mental health needs or physical accommodations (e.g., sensory sensitivities, ADHD, anxiety), this information is gathered so that necessary adjustments can be made during the camp to ensure they have a positive and comfortable experience.
Step 3: Consent Forms and Waivers
Parental or Guardian Consent (for minors)
- For participants under the age of 18, a parental/guardian consent form is required. This will confirm that the parent or guardian understands the camp structure, and that they give permission for their child to participate in the various activities, including rehearsals, performances, and physical exercises.
Liability Waiver
- All participants will be required to sign a liability waiver that outlines the camp’s expectations, risks involved, and the release of responsibility from SayPro in case of injury during participation in physical activities (such as dance or physical theatre exercises).
Photo/Video Consent (optional)
- Participants can also choose whether to give permission for photos or videos to be taken during the camp. These images or videos may be used for promotional purposes or as part of the final performance video.
Step 4: Payment and Confirmation
Payment Information
- Participants must complete the payment process upon registration. This includes paying the camp fee for the full 5-day camp. Accepted payment methods will be listed on the registration page.
- Payment Confirmation: Upon successful payment, participants will receive a payment confirmation receipt and a registration confirmation email. This will contain important information, including:
- Camp Schedule: A detailed agenda for the camp, including the timing for each art discipline (theatre, dance, and music).
- Packing List: A list of items participants should bring, such as comfortable clothing for movement-based activities (dance, physical theatre), sheet music for music participants, or rehearsal scripts for acting.
Step 5: Participant Preferences and Customization
Experience Level
- The registration form will ask participants to assess their level of experience in their chosen area(s). They can select one of the following categories:
- Beginner: New to the discipline with little to no experience.
- Intermediate: Some experience, may have had training or previous performances.
- Advanced: Extensive experience with formal training, performances, and in-depth knowledge of techniques.
This helps instructors plan group activities and assignments that match the participants’ skill levels, ensuring that everyone is appropriately challenged and supported.
Artistic Preferences
- Participants are encouraged to share any specific artistic preferences they may have. For example:
- If a dancer prefers contemporary dance over ballet or hip-hop.
- If an actor prefers to work on monologues, or in improvisation versus scripted performances.
- If a musician is interested in group singing or individual instrumental practice.
This information will be used to align participants with the most relevant activities and ensure that the camp provides a meaningful and enjoyable experience based on their interests.
Step 6: Confirmation and Ongoing Communication
- Once the registration process is complete, participants will receive an official confirmation email, summarizing the details they submitted, including their focus areas (e.g., acting, dance, music) and any specific preferences. The email will also include:
- Access to a Participant Portal: Here, they can update any information if needed, view additional resources, and communicate with camp organizers.
- Pre-Camp Orientation Information: An invitation to a virtual orientation session that will provide an overview of the camp structure, expectations, and any preparatory steps.
- Participants will also receive regular updates leading up to the camp, including final reminders on what to bring, specific instructions for arrival, and any important changes or additional instructions.
Step 7: On-Campus Check-In

- Confirm their registration and verify that all required documents (medical forms, consent, etc.) are in order.
- Receive a Welcome Packet that includes the camp schedule, a name tag, and any required materials for their focus area (e.g., scripts, sheet music).
- Have the opportunity to meet camp staff and instructors, ask questions, and get acquainted with other participants.
