Pali Overnight Adventures

Description

1 Week Program:

Shake it like Fergie and dance like Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Shakira, and Rihanna. For both beginners and those with more experience, our professional dance instructors will guide you through the basics of jazz, ballet, hip-hop, tap, free form and contemporary dance, providing each camper with the individualized attention and instruction to bring out their personal best.

Each day, you will fine-tune your skills while bringing MTV videos to life during two 90-minute intensive classes. And don't forget the fun. You are certain to have a great time laughing with old friends and making new ones. By week's end, you will know all the latest moves and have the chance to perform your choreographed dance routine at the Friday night camp showcase.

2 Week Program:

After getting a handle on the fundamentals, it's time to take it to the next level. You will choose your favorite music, choreograph an original dance routine, practice and fine tune it, and ultimately perform to the cheering crowd at the Pali Showcase! To top it all off, campers return home with professional headshots and a dance reel to use in furthering their dance careers!

So do you think you can dance? Bring it on!

General Packing List

The following clothing list is designed as a guide for parents and campers and should be tailored to your child's planned specialty (see below), and activity interests.

Campers and staff dress informally at Pali Overnight Adventures. The rule of thumb is bring clothes that are comfortable and expendable. We discourage designer clothing for 3 main reasons; camp is rustic and your child will be active; the relaxed no pressure environment gives campers the opportunity of not having to compete; and clothes are very easily lost or damaged at camp.

Camp implements a strict policy when it comes to "provocative clothing". A general rule is that undergarments must be worn at all times and may not be visible and that the navel to the bottom must be covered completely. Laundry is done for campers stayingfor three or more weeks. Laundry is done after the second week of a camper's stay. Please make sure your child has a laundry bag for their belongings.

Lost And Found - Name tags should be placed on all campers belongings. Please put the campers first and last name. While every effort is made to help campers be conscious of their belongings and return lost and found articles back to the campers, unlabeled articles are rarely recovered.

Pali Adventures is not responsible for the loss or damage to a camper's personal belongings for any reason (i.e. fire, theft, laundry or forgetfulness) and Pali Adventures strongly recommends that campers not bring items of value to camp.

Luggage - Luggage should be confined to bedding and one suitcase or duffel bag. Everything should be labelled and closed securely. We reserve the right to screen a camper's luggage.

Bedding - Camp does not provide any bedding or linens. All campers must bring their own sleeping bag (or sheets and blankets) for their nightly use, plus a pillow and pillowcase. Camp does not provide towels.

Personal Equipment - Cell phones are not permitted in camp and on camp sponsored trips. The camp may, at its discretion, hold cell phones or other similar devices. Confiscated cell phones may be picked up at the end of camp. Concerned Parents are always welcome to call the Head Counselors to check on the progress of their child. Almost every type of electronic device is not allowed at camp. As a rule, any item that can: send or receive a phone call or text messages, play a DVD, access the Internet or send or receive e-mail is not permitted at camp. Hand held electronic games, iPods, or other expensive equipment are strongly discouraged. The camp is not responsible for the damage, theft or other loss of any personal items.

Dangerous items are strictly prohibited from camp. No drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, matches, fireworks, or other contraband may be brought into camp. If these or any other dangerous items are found at camp, the staff will confiscate them and disciplinary action will be taken. Camp cannot guarantee the safekeeping or return of confiscated items.

Safety

All of Pali's programs adhere to every single one of the ACA (American Camp Association) accreditation specifications. This is a very thorough process, by the countries premiere camp standards organisation.

Pali counselors undergo an intense two week orientation period before camp begins. This training includes all matters of camper issue resolution, activity supervision and site specific rescue. All of our counselors are also fully certified in both CPR and First Aid.

Dance Academy Safety

Dancing can be one of the most strenuous activities you can do especially on the joints and muscles. For this very reason our dancers go through an extensive morning exercise and stretching program to best prepare their body for the task ahead.

Our dance studio is fitted with a special rubber floor designed specifically for dancers. It ensures that maximum balance and minimum strain is effected on the body.
