QUESTIONS ASKED BY KIDS:
If I have friends at the Art Camp, will I be in the same group with them?
If you specified a best friend you wanted to be with, we will make every effort to put you with that friend. When you enroll, just select the same days and group number! 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.

What if my child does not like camp?
While the Summer Art Academy strives to make Camp enjoyable for all campers, satisfaction with camp is subjective on the part of the child and the parent.

Please do not send anything to camp that is not replaceable and please put your child's name on everything!

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 an ice pack, 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.
