We are so excited to welcome our campers back to Art Camp this summer! Please take a moment to review the information below. These FAQs answer the questions parents and campers ask most often. If you have any additional questions or concerns that aren’t addressed here, please call us at 818-523-7576 and we will be happy to help!



COMMON CAMP QUESTIONS:
Are parents allowed on campus?
All drop off and pickup will be done "curbside". If you need to drop off your child late (or pick them up early), please arrange with the camp office and bring them inside campus (you can park and walk in OR we can bring your child out to the parking lot). Additional information about drop off & pickup will be sent out via email before camp. If you need to walk your child into camp, that's fine. We just ask that parents leave once their chid is situated so that we can open up the parking spot to other families. Once the circle time activities begin, it's mandatory that all parents leave so that kids can start their day!

Can I get a tour of campus?
Sorry, we do not offer tours. Since our campus is an Elememtary School during the year, we don't want to disrupt their learning with tours. We invite you to explore our website and social media pages to see photos and videos!

How do lunch and recess work? Do you offer Hot Lunch?  
For all of our break times, we will split up in half. Half the camp will eat, the other half will play. For example, at lunchtime, Groups 1-8 will eat first. Each group will have 1-2 group tables. While they are eating, Groups 9-17 are playing. Then, we will switch.
Please pack water bottle daily. You are welcome to pack snacks if you like. Art Camp offers free morning snacks (apple sauce) and free afternoon snacks (popsicles). For lunch, you are welcome to pack a lunch OR order a hot lunch. For hot lunch, we partner with BRIGHT BELLY LUNCHES. We will open up lunch ordering & menus in April.

Are there any restrictions?
No. But we ask that you, our camp families, be mindful of your activities and choices for the week before your session start date (and during your time at Art Camp). Please understand that in order for Art Camp to work, we have to work together. Please avoid large group gatherings, additional playdates, vacations etc. If your child is feeling sick, please do not send them to camp. Art Camp is a community and we all want your children to have the best summer ever so we kindly ask for your help in this.

What if my child does not like an activity?
While The Art Camp 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 Art Camp cannot and does not guarantee or warrant any campers' satisfaction with the workshops they have chosen. Campers are not able to change worshops or groups within the current camp week. If they want to make changes to future weeks, and we have room, we can accomodate that.

What if my child is attending camp alone?
Our camp counselors are AMAZING friendmakers and will help them adjust and enjoy their time at camp!

Are you open July 4th?

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.
