Requesting the consultation should take about 5-10 minutes. If treatment is right for you, your clinician will join the call in 5–30 minutes to complete the evaluation (within standard business hours of 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. EST, 7 days a week)

Consultations are currently available in English, Spanish, Haitian Creole and Portuguese. If you indicate you speak Spanish, Haitian Creole or Portuguese when requesting a consultation, a medical interpreter will join your consultation. They may ask you the same questions you answered when you requested your consultation so that they can translate them into English for your clinician.
You may choose free home delivery through Color’s pharmacy partner or pharmacy pickup from your preferred pharmacy (dependent on supply). If you choose home delivery, prescriptions received before 5 p.m. EST Monday through Friday will be sent via next-day air. If you are requesting a consultation on Saturday or Sunday, you may want to consider pharmacy pickup instead. Your treatment will work better the sooner you start it. You’ll be able to discuss pharmacy options with your clinician and may change your choice based on their guidance.
You will receive an email from Color’s pharmacy partner, WellDyne, when your prescription ships. It will also include tracking information.

People with COVID-19 are required to self-isolate, whether you are vaccinated or not and regardless of if you take COVID-19 treatment. Self-isolation means separating yourself from others to keep germs from spreading. Do not leave your home, except to get medical care for at least 5 days after your symptoms began. If your symptoms are improving after 5 days, then you may go out with a mask. Everyone with COVID-19 should avoid people who are at high risk of severe disease for 10 days.
Wear a mask when around others, including in your household, for 10 days. Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, and wash your hands frequently to help prevent spreading viruses. You may find more detailed isolation guidelines here.
Summer Stars Camp for the Performing Arts provides deserving middle and high-school-aged kids a 9-day, no-cost residential summer camp intensive in the performing arts. Our 23nd Camp takes place August 7-15, 2022 on the Northfield Mount Hermon campus in Gill, MA.
Summer Stars offers small group programs in acting, blues performance, dance, musical theater/choral singing, set design, juggling, drumming, and much more. Through our work together, campers come together as an artistic community and learn about their own ability to succeed through the performing arts.
The ideal candidate is a student who shows great interest and potential in the performing arts but who may not have the opportunities to fully explore and develop their talent due to financial need or lack of community resources. There is no audition, and experience in the performing arts is not required.
Camp is free to all campers. The Summer Stars Foundation is a 501-c3 and fully funded by donations. Camp is offered at no charge to campers, and transportation is provided by us from the Boston and New York metro areas and select other locations (including some local military bases).
If you know other promising candidates who would benefit from this unique experience, feel free to share the link to our website and application materials: www.summerstars.org/come-to-camp.
