HOUSING,transportaion & Supervision Policy
Please note: The program does not provide or book housing for students. However, we will share Airbnb options and help connect families and students who are attending and interested in coordinating housing.
- Students ages 12–15 must be accompanied by a chaperone for the duration of the intensive. The chaperone is fully responsible for the student’s housing, transportation, and supervision outside of studio hours. The chaperone will be connected with the student’s assigned counselor for questions and communication while studnest are at the studio.
- Students ages 12-15 traveling together to the intensive may share one chaperone; individual chaperones are not required for each student.
- Students ages 16–19 will be staying with peers in their age range. While the program does not secure or book housing, we will assist by providing resources and connecting students with nearby Airbnb options and fellow participants to help make arrangements.
- The students will also be assigned a counselor who will serve as a point of contact for check-ins related to studio arrival and departure. Prior approval from a parent/guardian and the assigned counselor is required for any outings outside of the studio (e.g., grocery stores, coffee shops, etc.).
- Students ages 20–24 are considered independent adult participants and are responsible for their own housing, transportation, and personal arrangements. The program does not provide supervision, housing, or transportation, but will assist with housing recommendations.
- All Local Students are expected to stay in contact with their counselor for the week but ultimately will remain under their parents responsibility outside of studio time.
- Transportation for out-of-town students will be provided by our two designated drivers and is limited to travel to and from the studio and designated locations within downtown Bowling Green. Transportation is only available during scheduled program times and along approved routes and parental consent is required for all participating students.
About Gratitude Performing Arts
Our History
- Free Time
One of the best parts of SDI is the fellowship and friendships made during the week! Counselors will plan games and activities for students staying at Airbnbs. Bible study will also take place during some evenings of free time for our older students. During this time, if students need to go anywhere or get anything, they may do so with prior approval from their parent or guardian. Alternatively, counselors can run to the store or nearby locations to get what students need. - Media
All movies and media shown during the program will be PG-rated and appropriate for all students. Students are expected to follow the PG-rating guidelines, and anything not suitable for the group will not be allowed.
