FAQs
How many kids can attend each week? 22 - 30 per week.
I have a child younger than 5, can they still attend? Yes, if they attend with an older sibling no younger than 4.5 years old. But they must be well behaved and able to remain in their chair for 1 hour at a time. And, they must be potty trained :)
Do you accept kids older than 12? Yes, we do recommend having them bring a friend their age. Older kids really do enjoy our camp too.
How many kids per instructor? We have 1 instructor per 12 kids. (We do have a second staff member that will be assisting and present during the camp.)
Cancellation Policy Camp tuition is non-refundable but transferable, in case of illness only. Doctors note required.

Arrive early for best selection

Stay hydrated
Since activities can be energetic, bringing a water bottle helps keep your child refreshed throughout the day.
Encourage experimentation
Allow your child to try different art forms without focusing on perfection—this is about fun and learning.
