TCA and TYT Drama Camps Cancelled

​The City of Tecumseh in conjunction with Tecumseh Parks and Recreation Department and Tecumseh Center for the Arts (TCA) has decided to cancel indoor youth camps this summer. Unfortunately, this means Tecumseh Center for the Arts and Tecumseh Youth Theatre will be cancelling this year's Summer Drama Camps. The decision to cancel indoor camps (including Drama Camp) was due to concerns of administering social distancing requirements indoors, the nature of the indoor camps in regards to wearing masks (singing, dancing and acting), the number of campers already registered, the need for campers to share space and camp supplies, as well as the ability to carry out the camps in the current environment of decreased staffing.
 
Like you, we are incredibly disappointed to cancel this year's camps. The possibility of hosting an outdoor drama camp was considered, but logistical concerns of having campers outside from 9 am until 4 pm, while practicing social distancing was a main concern. With outdoor camps there is also no guarantee of nice weather. We do not feel we can offer the same quality of camp outdoors and charge campers the same fee.
 
Tecumseh Center for the Arts will begin contacting individuals this week to refund their registration fees (minus any credit card processing fees). We look forward to seeing all the youth at the TCA in the future. Please stay safe and stay healthy this summer!
