Kids Summer Art Camp

 · Dress for a Mess: We’ll be using paints, glue, and other messy supplies, so please dress your child in clothes that can handle some splashes and spills.

· Lunch and Snacks: Please send a packed lunch that doesn’t require heating. We’ll provide snacks and water throughout the day.

· Arrival: Doors open at 9:50 AM. Late arrivals of more than 15 minutes can disrupt instruction, and we may not be able to catch your child up on the planned activities if they are late.

· Pick-Up: Camp ends promptly at 4 PM. If pick-up runs later than 4:15 PM, a late fee of $5 per minute will be applied. Please let us know if you anticipate being late, so we can assist with arrangements.

Cancellation Policy: Payment is due upon registration. You may cancel any time before four (4) weeks prior to the camp start date. Canceling within the four weeks prior to the camp start date will be forfeiting payment. If the camp session does not get enough participants camp will be canceled, and you may reschedule (if applicable) or get a full refund. 

• What age can attend art camp?

We have built a curriculum around kids aged 6-13, which is the recommended age for any child enrolled in art camp. If your child is older or younger than the recommended ages, please get in touch with us to see if your child would be eligible, some exceptions can be made. 

• How long is art camp, and which days?

Art camp is Tuesday through Thursday, from 10am-4pm. 

• Do I need to send my child lunch?

We will take a brief 30-minute break each day for snack time. We recommend sending your child with lunch or snack, and water to drink. We do not provide any food or drink during camp, and we don't allow students to leave the premises to purchase food from another store. We do have some snack foods, water, soda, and juice, if your child would prefer to bring money to purchase from our cafe. 

• Can I drop off my child early?

Yes, you may drop off your child 10-15 minutes before the start of Camp, as long as you notify and coordinate with the Camp Coordinator before the day of Camp.

• If my child leaves camp early, can I get a refund?

We do not offer refunds for missed days, whether for sickness, or any other unforeseen absence, and we cannot issue partial payment credits either. If you know that your child will miss one or more days and you still want to attend that week, you can elect to do the day rate of $65 per day instead. Please notify a camp counselor if you wish to do so.

               Can I have someone else pick up my child?

Yes, please let the Art staff know if someone other than yourself will be picking up your child from camp. We will also require the name and contact info of that additional pick-up person, in case of emergencies. 

• Do you provide instructions for art projects?

Yes! We have a dedicated Art Instructor to teach the kids how to work through the art projects, and provide assistance to those who need it. We have a variety of projects each day, some of which require step-by-step instructions, and some that are more independent. All projects encourage creativity!

• Are all the projects the same each week?

All of the projects are planned for each day of the week, and some build upon previous days, so it is recommended to attend each day of the week. The projects don't typically change for the next weeks, but if your child attends more than one week, we can supplement a few projects for them to change it up! We also provide a few new projects every year, so your child can sign up again if they enjoyed it in previous years!

• Can I enroll more than one child?

Absolutely, we would love to have your children join our camps, whether they are siblings, cousins or best friends! You can sign up more than one child at registration. Ask us about our special sibling discount code!

 Injuries and Illnesses 

Camp staff is trained in First Aid, CPR, EpiPen administration and in the appropriate handling of bodily fluids. If a child should become sick or injured during the course of the camp day, we will take appropriate measures to ensure their well-being and notify the family immediately. We may require an immediate pick-up of your child.
