Thank you for your interest in SOLA’s
Summer 2024 program! Please read ALL info before planning to register.
Our Summer show will be Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr. This program is open to ages 8-15. Your child must be at least 8 years old before auditions on June 24th. The age cutoff for our program is 15. Your child must be 15 years old throughout all of camp, which ends on July 21st.
We have some changes to our Summer schedule and location this year. The camp location is the old Terrebonne Parish Library on Roussel Street, and the final week of camp and performance weekend will be at Terrebonne High Auditorium. The first three weeks of camp will be from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., but the last week of camp will be held in the evening from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The schedule is as follows:

Each day of camp will be packed full of instruction, choreography, and rehearsals. Campers are expected to attend every day of camp. This is to allow the students the ability to learn their parts efficiently and learn to function well as a group, in order to promote quality performances at the end of camp. All campers are required to be present for all performances. Please register your child only if they are available for the camp dates and performances. Parents are responsible for purchasing their child’s costumes for the production.

Cost is $300.00 tuition and $35.00 registration. Registration fee is required at the time of registration. Tuition can be paid via check or Venmo, and is due on June 1st, in order to secure your child’s spot in the program.
