Camp CenterStage Goes “Green” with new Online Registration System

The staff at Camp CenterStage, a music and performing arts camp which focuses on achieving excellence through the arts, is pleased to be introducing its new “green” Online Registration System for its 2010 Summer Session.

The new Online Registration System will greatly reduce the amount of paperwork needed compared to that used in a paper-based system, and will also offer many conveniences to our customers.

“Our customers will maintain full control over all of their personal information. They can come back and login anytime to complete their registration, make changes to their contact information, add additional campers, make payments, and many other administrative tasks”, says Assistant Camp Director, Jeffrey Elwood. “Much of the redundancy found in the old paper systems is automatically eliminated. And registration for our returning campers in future camp sessions will be a breeze; since they have already setup an account with us, registering for future camp sessions is as easy as clicking a button!”

CCS is a judgment free environment where campers are encouraged to explore and share their talents in an atmosphere that combines the performing arts and traditional camp experiences as a way to teach positive life and leadership skills. The CCS mission is to create a safe and supportive camp environment of youth artists who value serving each other and their communities through the use of their talents. Camp CenterStage is headed by staff members: Alexis Dascoulias, Steven Dascoulias, Jeffrey Elwood, Kathy Fink, Lisa Forsley, Carla Murphy, Shay Willard and Anna Visciano.
