Young Aritsts Lab  Summer Sign Ups 

Summer course sign-ups begin March 15th and close July 1st.

Class size is limited to 12 students per course to ensure the maximum amount of on-stage time for our students.  Small class size allows students to practice thier work in front of the group, live and out loud.

To ensure your place in the YOUNG ARTISTS LAB (YAL) summer program, applicants must submit an application form, along with a $50 deposit prior to July 1.  Placement is on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Deposits are non-refundable but applies towards your tuition.

Checks can be made payable to "YOUNG ARTISTS LAB", or can be made thru PAYPAL at the bottom of the page. 

Tuition balance is due no later than the end of the student’s first day of camp, though payment plans are always available; YAL aims to provide all students an opportunity to attend camp regardless of financial circumstances. 

We are constantly striving to maintain a high quality of classes available to all families.  We want every student interested in participating to enroll for a course, regardless of financial hardship.  If you are interested in a scholarship or setting up a payment plan, please contact Michael Balsley at mbalsley@youngartistslab.com for more information.

Some camps have field trips or transportation costs included in the tuition, while other trips require additional fees.  Check with your workshop diescriptions for more details. 

“Audience Day” activity will require a parent signature authorizing travel and participation in the event.  Failure to turn in “Audience Day” permission slips will exclude the student from participation.  YAL will not be held responsible for material seen or heard during Audience Day events, but YAL will provide families with information about movies, plays, or performances at least 48 hours in advance of their presentation.  All material is fuel for discussion, but participation is left up to parental discretion.   

 
Lab students are not currently covered under a YAL insurance plan. Families are urged to provide us with emergency contact information or pertinent medical conditions prior to participation.  All students applying to the Lab program agree to abide by the codes of conduct outlined on the first day of class.   Failure to adhere to these rules will result in withdrawal from the program. 

YAL is designed to address individual performer’s strengths and weaknesses in a positive environment, and all participants are expected to participate in each workshop in a manner conducive to maintaining that environment of safety and support.  Attentive listening is expected when students are off stage as well as on stage.  Failure to participate in this group dynamic will result in a parent/faculty/student conference.  Failure to respond to this conference may result in withdrawal from the program.
