Welcome to GCAPA! You have completely made our Summer by becoming a part of our community! We plan to spend the Summer showing your Camper how to shine! And you can be the paparazzi!
13266 Reese Blvd East, Suite 200, Huntersville.
Located conveniently behind the Novant Hospital at Exit 23.
We thought it best to answer a few important FAQ’s to get you started so that you can familiarize yourself with the layout and get accustomed to what to expect. If we have forgotten anything, please let us know.
​
Communication:
Our best form of communication is via Email (please make it a contact in your address book) and not far behind is the GCAPA Summer Camps Band Group. You can get the App for your phone and be kept up-to-date and share pictures! This group is only for Parents of Campers. Please feel free to post questions, share photos or ask for a lost item with the other families of the studio! If your Camper cannot make it to class, please do not email or text, but call us to let us know so we don’t miss the message. 704.896.3033
Parking:
Please park in front of the building.
​
Drop-off and Pick-up:
Students 10 and under should be walked in and out of the studio. Once your teacher is present in the lobby to collect your Campers, you are free to leave. Any Camper being picked up by a person unknown to the Crew will need a valid Driver's License for identification verification. Be prepared to show I.D. Please provide a name before camp of the person picking up. If you're a first time parent and we don't recognize you, please don't take offense. We care for the safety of your Camper!
Parent Observation:
Parents are invited into the studio on the final day of camp to see their dancers perform what they're worked on all week!
Open House and Boutique:
For those who are looking for dance attire and shoes at a reasonable cost, we look forward to helping you into what you're looking for! Turn-around on orders is typically 1 week. Once your order arrives, you will receive an email with times to pick up or you can just wait until the first day of camp to grab your gear! Don't need gear? Come take a studio tour and give your little one a chance to adjust to the space!
​
Shoes:
Many campers do not use dance shoes, but everyone is welcome to bring what they have. If your ballet shoes are not leather or canvas, they are unsafe. Please check what you have before sending your Camper in.
Bathroom Use:
Our facility has 1 bathroom in the lobby. Children under 5 will be escorted to the bathroom and only help when they express what kind of help they need. They will be asked a series of questions to be sure that our Crew is maintaining a safe distance and allowing campers to have their independence and/or privacy. The Crew does not change diapers.
Epi-pens:
EpiPens should handed to your Star’s teacher before camp/class. EpiPens may not be stored at the studio. Explicit verbal instructions along with written instructions should be explained to the instructors responsible for your Camper's care by you, every single day to ensure your camper's safety in case a different teacher is on site.
Food:
We require all Campers to adhere to the following food rules for all camps: We strongly encourage (but do not require) healthy whole food options. For lunches: No Nuts of any kind. No peanut butter. No apple butter. No distribution of food. Please advise your camper that food sharing is not permitted for safety reasons. All food allergies must be listed in your account and reiterated to your camp instructor at the beginning of the week. WATER ONLY.
Lobby:
We ask that you mind your children's behavior and be quick in the restroom for the campers and dancers.
​
Our first goal is to help your Camper Shine. Immediately following, we want you to have an easy and enjoyable experience at GCAPA. If we have forgotten something or overlooked something, we hope that you will let us know so that we can provide the best service and experience for you and your Camper! Hats off to an amazing Summer of learning and community!!
Sincerely,
Miss Wendi and the GCAPA CREW

Hello Summer Campers!!
We are so excited to get started with you! There are still limited spaces available in our camps for your friends or additional camp weeks!
Open House
This will be the only chance for you to be in the studio (see below). We recommend all students stop by to check out the studio and acclimate to the space for everyone's comfort. You will have a chance to meet the instructors and make any purchases that you might need.
February 28, 2026. 12:00-2:00pm
​
Camp Drop-off/Pick-up
When dropping off Campers we ask that you walk them in and verify your emergency contact info.
​
Food/Snacktime
Please pack your camper a fruit or vegetable with water as a snack. This helps us to avoid any allergies and the no sugar helps us to keep kids having fun and learning.
Epipens
If your child has an epipen, please notify the instructor on the first day of the following:
-
What your camper is allergic to
-
What signs your camper will show that we should look for
-
How to use the epipen (this task must be executed every day)
Bags
Each camper should bring a bag to camp. Bags should be labeled with your campers last name. Snacks, water and dance shoes should be the only things inside your campers bag. Toys should be kept at home.
​
Performances
All performances will be set up for the last 15-30 minutes of camp. These are very informal performances and we ask that you only bring your family. Videos and pictures are encouraged!
​
Withdrawal
GCAPA cannot accommodate schedule changes. Schedule changes are subject to regular withdrawal procedures as stated above.
​
We thank you so much for choosing Grand Central for your Summer Camp and look forward to an awesome, fun, safe Summer!!!
