QUESTIONS ASKED BY KIDS:
If I have friends at the Art Camp, will I be in the same group with them?
Camp is all about being with your friends, but also making NEW friends! If choose they same group as your friend, you will be in the group with them. However, if you applied late and your friend was already signed up in a group that is now full, you would not be placed in the same group as your friend unless a spot opens up. But we make every effort to do so.

If I bought a camp t-shirt or hat when will I get it?

How will I know where my workshops are?
Everyone comes together 10 minutes prior to the start of each workshop. You will get a name tag all 3 days of camp, with all your classes printed on it in the order you will be attending them. The "Little Cheese" will call out all workshops, one-by-one. If you did not hear your workshop called or you forget where to go, you can ask any counselor and they will tell you where you are supposed to be for each of your workshops. If you are a Art Camp 101 camper, you will be pre-assigned to the group and you will stay with your group, and your workshop assistant, throughout the day so you never have to worry about what workshop is next or where to go!

What happens during breaks between workshops?
There are two 25 minute breaks between workshops 1 & 2 and again between workshops 3 & 4. These allow the teachers to prepare for their next class and gives you time to have a quick snack if you brought one. The counselors will supervise you. If you forget where your cubby is (which is where you put your snack and belongings in) just ask them!

What if my child does not like a workshop?
On a space available basis and at the director's or assistant director's discretion, workshop changes can be made. While the Summer Art Academy strives to make Camp enjoyable for all campers, satisfaction with a workshop is subjective on the part of the child and the parent. Therefore, it is understood and agreed that the Summer Art Academy cannot and does not guarantee or warrant any campers' satisfaction with the workshops they have chosen. Art Camp 101 campers are not able to change workshops.

What if my child loses something at camp?
Please do not send anything to camp that is not replaceable and please put your child's name on everything! Our counselors do a very good job at trying to make sure nothing is left behind, but things do sometimes get left. If you return home and realize your child forgot something, please contact us as soon as possible so we can make every effort to get it to you. Items will be kept for one week in the Lost & Found when camp is over then donated to a local charity.

What if I need to reach my child at camp?
We want to work with you to make this experience a great one for your camper – we will call you if any of the following occur: Your child is very upset, your child is ill or injured and requires anything more than a Band-aid or a Tylenol, there is anything we would like to discuss with you (behavior issues, medication doses, etc.). In case of an emergency at home (when you have to talk to your child), please call the camp office and we can have them call you back, however this requires us to pull them out of a workshop or activity, and bring them to the office for the phone call. Please use this option only in the case of emergencies.

What is your Electronics Policy?
Cell phones and electronics (including game players, iPods, MP3's, cameras and e-readers) should be kept at home. Our program is designed to keep campers engaged, busy, and having fun making new friends. We recommend that your child powers down and takes what we’re certain is a well needed break from the world of electronics. These devices have a way of getting lost or broken at camp. The Art Camp cannot take responsibility for their loss or damage, nor does our insurance policy cover their replacement.
