Mason Before Care and After Care is run by Mason Community Center. Rates are determined by Mason Community Center and can be found while registering for Mason Camps.
Registration for camps at Mason Community Center begins on Feb. 17 for premiere members and on Feb. 20 for the general public.
Pick-up and drop-off procedures will vary by location. All information will be emailed to families prior to camp starting. Anyone picking up a child from camp must be authorized to do so on the child’s paperwork. Students will not be permitted to leave camp with anyone who is not authorized in advance. When picking up a child from camp, the authorized parent or guardian must present a valid ID.
We do not provide snacks or lunch to campers in full-day and Performance Academy camps. Families must provide their own snacks and lunch. Please be aware that in order to serve as many students as possible, we have implemented a NO NUT rule. We cannot refrigerate or heat lunches.
Camp class sizes vary depending on location, camp type and ages of enrolled campers. We do make adjustments as needed per area guidelines for health and safety. Our group sizes are typically 16 -18 per group. The group size may vary for Performance Academy groups.
Our instructors are theatre professionals with years of experience and a strong focus on education.
All children of any experience level are welcome. Our instructors adjust class material based on the students’ levels of experience.
Regardless of previous acting experience, we group students by age. It is our philosophy that students remain with their age peers, and the instructor can adjust teaching styles based on experience within the groups. If you have any questions about the classes, please contact us.
Yes! Each camp session focuses on different skill sets that can be used as a standalone experience or combined to make for an even more in-depth experience with theatre.
All one-week camps lead up to a brief “shareformance” which informally shares a scene with friends and family at 3:30 p.m. on the last day of camp.

This is a movement-based camp and all classes will require campers to be able to move around safely. Please ensure that your child wears clothing and close-toed shoes in which they can move easily and comfortably. They may be moving exuberantly, sitting on the floor, learning choreography and using craft supplies or paint. In movement and acting classes the campers often sit and lay on the floor while they stretch and play with character movement and breathing practices. Please make sure that if skirts or wide-legged shorts are worn, leggings or under-skirt shorts accompany them so that campers are covered during those activities. If a camper comes in a skirt or wide-legged shorts without leggings or under-skirt shorts, we will have to call and ask for a pair of leggings or under-skirt shorts to be brought to camp.
All shoes must have a back on their shoe and be closed-toed. We highly recommend tennis shoes, but other soft-soled shoes are okay as well. Dance shoes are not necessary for musical theatre camps, but are welcome for those who have them and would like to wear them during classes and rehearsal.
If disallowed footwear is worn to camp, we will have to call and ask for another pair of shoes to be brought to camp. The activities in acting, movement and improvisation classes require secure footwear for safe participation.
All electronics, toys and valuable items should be kept at home. Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park is not responsible for any lost, broken or stolen items.
In cases where camp staff are concerned that the behavior of a camper is harmful to themselves, other campers, staff or their surroundings, steps may be bypassed to address the situation.
