All safety protocols regarding COVID-19 will be followed according to CDC and the American Camp Association recommendations. Safety protocols will be sent directly to each family once registration has been received. Please read COVID-19 Requirements below. Contact us info@livingjazz.org for specific questions/concerns. Please see below for details.

Living Jazz cares deeply about the health and safety of the Jam Camp West community. Many of our camp participants will be immunocompromised. We recognize not everyone has the same perspective about the COVID-19 virus and the vaccinations. However, with everyone’s safety in mind, we remain committed to airing on the side of caution.

The following are our requirements and recommendations.

EVERYONE

• REQUIRED - All campers, faculty, and staff MUST show proof of a negative rapid COVID-19 test taken the morning of arrival. Please bring the result in a zip lock bag with your name on it with you to registration along with a photo of the result in case the test line has faded..

• REQUIRED - All campers, faculty, and staff must bring 4 additional rapid tests to camp, as we will be testing during the week. 

• RECOMMENDED AND ENCOURAGED - We recommend and encourage that everyone on site (campers, faculty, and staff) be fully vaccinated to the extent they can based on their individual situation.

• STRONGLY RECOMMENDED - If your camper (or you as a staff/ faculty member) has not received all available vaccines and your most recent vaccination will fall outside of a 3-month period before camp, we strongly recommend receiving an additional booster if eligible by age. 

• REQUIRED - For those flying in for Jam Camp, we REQUIRE that all camp participants wear an N95 mask on the plane and when you are walking through the airport and highly trafficked indoor areas.

• OPTIONAL - All camp participants have the option of wearing a mask during the week of camp.

What Happens If I Get COVID-19?

• In the event that a camper contracts COVID-19 right before the start of camp and provides proof of infection, a full refund will be made minus $100 from their deposit.

• In the event a camper had COVID-19 and is no longer contagious, we require proof of a negative COVID-19 test or a doctor's confirmation.

• In the event a camper contracts COVID-19 while at camp, they will be immediately isolated from other camp participants, and their parents will be contacted to pick them up. 

• Please Note: Living Jazz does not provide refunds in the case of illness or injury during the week of camp.

Tuition includes all classes, camp t-shirt, activities, concerts, lodging, 3 daily meals, and afternoon healthy snacks.

Jam Camp West is open to all youth ages 10-17 with or without prior experience. Classes are designed to meet the needs of both beginners as well as campers that have had limited or extensive prior music, vocal or dance experience.

If your child wants to participate in an instrumental ensemble, they must come with their own instrument except for keyboards and drumsets. Please have your child bring a small amp if they play guitar or electric bass. If your child wants to take ukulele class, please have them come with their own instrument if possible. However, we do have a limited amount of ukuleles available at camp for classes. We provide all percussion and steeldrum instruments.
