QUESTIONS ASKED BY KIDS:
If I have friends at Camp, will I be in the same group with them?
If your mom or dad specified a best friend you wanted to be in a group with, we will make every effort to put you with that friend. However, if you applied late and your friend already signed up in a group that is now full, you would not be placed in the same group as your friend. However, if another group is still open we could move you both to that group.

How will I know where to go?
Each of our groups come together 10 minutes prior to the start of the first workshop in the morning. You will stay with your group and your counselor throughout the day so you never have to worry about what workshop is next or where to go! Your counselor is in charge of that.

What happens if I have to go to the bathroom during a workshop?
You can go to the bathroom or get a drink of water whenever you need to, just ask your counselor to take you. Don't worry about where the bathrooms or water fountains are because your counselor knows that. When you are done, your counselor will take you back to your workshop.

What happens during breaks between workshops?
There are two 20 minute breaks between workshops 1 & 2 and again between workshops 3 & 4. These allow the teachers to prepare for the next group and gives you time to have a quick snack if you brought one. Your counselor will supervise you. If you forget where your cubby is (which is where you put your snack & belongings) just ask them!

What happens during lunch?
Lunch is 1 hour long and happens between the second and third workshop of the day. For the first 20-25 minutes, everyone will eat lunch. You also get a cold juice. Then, once you are finished with lunch, you can just relax and talk with friends, play on the grass field, the large playstructure, the swings, visit our game table, play foosball, play basketball, visit the lanyard tent, participate in freeze dance in the auditorium, join in on the fun daily camp activities the JCIT/CIT's coordinate, or just hang out with your counselor!

Why does the Art Camp sell Ice Cream and how should I pay for it?
At art camp, we offer campers a daily selection of ice cream and popsicles! All Ice Cream is sold for $2.00 dollars each and ALL of the proceeds go to Camp Del Corazon. Camp Del Corazon is a charity that sends kids with heart disease to camp on Catalina Island for one week. We hope you will support these efforts. Last year we raised enough money through ice cream sales to send 20 kids to camp! You can either send $2.00 cash with your child, or prepay for the session when you register online for camp (if you know that you want your child to receive ice cream daily). All of our popsicles are nut-free, and gum-free. There are even some that are dairy-free. This is completely optional!

What if my child is not feeling well at camp?
If your child gets hurt or just does not feel well, we will call the numbers we have for you until we reach you. You can then speak to your child and decide if you would like to come to get them. If there is no answer on your phones, we will leave a message.

What if my plans change or we miss a day, can I get a refund?

A session is defined as one of the four following blocks: Session One: MWF, Session One: TTH, Session Two: MWF, or Session Two: T,TH. After June 1st, there are no refunds, no exceptions.

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?
Upper Campers and Art Camp 101 campers are NOT allowed to bring any type of electronic items to camp. Should they bring one of these items to camp, they will be kept in the camp office until camp is over.
Teen Campers in the Teen Camp Program are given a little more freedom, and are allowed to bring their phones and able to use it during the breaks and lunch but NOT during class times. We run a Musical Theatre Class MWF and most the rehearsal videos are uploaded on our Camp Youtube Channel where Teen Campers are allowed to view their rehearsals and practice for their play during their breaks. The Art Camp IS NOT responsible for ANY lost or stolen electronic items of any kind. The Art Camp cannot take responsibility for their loss or damage, nor does our insurance policy cover their replacement. Teen Campers bring their phones at their own risk.
