In line with local mandates and out of care for our students, as of 1/3/22 we are implementing the following proof of vaccination policy:
Anyone ages 5 and older entering Chicago Children’s Theatre for more than 10 minutes must show proof of vaccination at the door. If you are unable to show proof of vaccination, you may provide a negative Covid test taken within the previous 72 hours. CCT may, as supplies allow, be able to offer limited amounts of rapid antigen testing onsite. Those 4 years and younger will not need to provide proof of vaccination or negative Covid test.
Valid proof of vaccination consists of any of the following: vaccination card, photocopy of vaccination card, digital record or app, or printed record from a vaccine provider.
At check-in for the first day of your child’s class or camp at CCT, they will need to show proof of vaccination to attend their class or camp. Once your child has shown proof of vaccination before their first class, we will note it in our records and they will not need to show proof of vaccination again for the rest of the session. Those 4 years old or younger at the start of their class will not need to show proof of vaccination.
For CCT classes held at other locations (Menomenee Club Lincoln Park, schools, etc.), students must abide by the proof of vaccination regulations at that location.
Please read this form carefully and be aware that in registering yourself and your minor child/ward for participation in the above program or programs to be conducted at or in cooperation with Chicago Children’s Theatre, you, for yourself and as the parent or legal guardian of the child named above, will be waiving and releasing all claims for injuries that you and your child might sustain arising out of or in connection with such program or programs.
I certify that all of the medical and other information listed is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge.

Chicago Children’s Theatre aims to provide an environment that is supportive of all campers and their abilities. We encourage campers to conduct themselves appropriately throughout the camp day with respect to our Teaching Artists, camp staff, and to other campers. CCT Camp Staff will devise a code of conduct with campers on the first day of camp, as well as outline our strike system. If a camper’s behavior should warrant disciplinary action, CCT will use a three-strike system, as follows:
Strike One: A verbal warning addressing the camper’s inappropriate behavior from a camp staff person.
Strike Two: A short break (5-10 minutes) from camp activities for the camper to reflect on their actions. A brief conversation will be held between the camper and camp staff to find a resolution to the issue(s) at hand.
Strike Three: A call home and parent meeting (if needed) to discuss issues and solutions to improve camper’s conduct/behavior.
*Repeated offenses may result in the camper’s dismissal from CCT Camp, and may not be eligible for a refund.
I consent for my child or ward to be walked, under the supervision of Chicago Children's Theatre staff, to and from Skinner Park, weather permitting. I agree to assume the full risk of all injuries, damages, or losses regardless of the severity which I or my child or ward may sustain as result of participating in any activities connected to traveling to and from and playing at the park.
