WE'RE MOVING ONLINE!!
Hello Funnery Family!
Whether you are out protesting for racial equality or quarantining at home from the virus, we hope this finds you well.
We are excited to announce that camp this summer will be online!! This is a brand new journey for us and we are incredibly thrilled to be taking it with you all! We've been brewing up some plans over here at the Chelsea Funnery HQ which I'm happy to share with you now.
Camp Dates/Times: Camp will run the regular two weeks in July. This year's dates are the 13th-25th. We normally hold camp from 9:30am-4pm, but since no one wants to be on Zoom that long we will be shortening the camp days, although there will be lots of "homework" to fill up the day! The specific times will be finalized soon.
Tuition: Those that paid the full (in-person) tuition will be refunded. Our new and improved tuition for virtual camp is a sliding scale with a minimum of $50 (essentially the cost of the deposit.) But if you can pay more, that goes straight into our scholarship fund so campers who can't afford the tuition can still attend.
Enrollment: For anyone who has been on a Zoom meeting with more than 10 people you know how confusing and difficult it can get. We decided to keep enrollment lower than we normally would because of the virtual constraints. That being said, we have spots open!! Do you know a youth between the ages of 12-18 that doesn't have anything to do this summer? Sign them up while we have spots available! Do you know a teen who has always wanted to come to the Chelsea Funnery but they live in another state? This is their year! Since we're online campers from all over the country can join us now!
Tech: We've decided to primarily use Zoom as the way to hold virtual camp, but we're asking families to fill out the survey to help us get an idea of how many campers have access to computers, cameras, wifi, etc.
Why???: Why go virtual instead of skipping a year? Well, we figured, if Shakespeare could write King Lear during the plague, we could make some theater too!
Wishing you all the best and don't forget to wash your hands! (Wonderfully demonstrated below by Lady Macbeth!)
Love the Funnery Team!
