GENERAL INFO
The ArtsCenter offers one-week and two-week camp programs with half-day and full-day options. Mix and
match to fit your schedule and your campers interests. In all camps, instructors focus on skill development
and encourage discovery of creative voice. We favor process over product, and self-expression over
perfection. A low camper-instructor ratio provides a nurturing environment to explore the creative process.
ArtsCamp Staff Professional teaching artists lead all camps with the
assistance of a dedicated group of volunteer teen Counselors. Our staff
is made up of a year-round Youth Education Coordinator and two yearround Youth Education Assistants, along with a seasonal Camp Manager
and two Assistant Managers.
Family Sharing & Open Classroom The opportunity for campers to
share their work with family and friends is an important aspect of our
program. Camp staff will provide an exact schedule of Friday Family
Sharing / Open Classroom events during the first few days of each camp
session. While attendance is optional for family members, we encourage
you to attend. Both Family Sharing and Open Classroom events usually
occur during the last half-hour of camp on the final Friday of the session.
Extended Supervision For parents who require child supervision
beyond scheduled class time, we offer three extended supervision
periods per day. Supervision is available from 7:30 9 AM for $20
a week, and 4 5:30 PM for $20 a week. You may register during
the camp week for extended supervision, advance registration is not
available. Additionally, supervision is provided at no charge from noon 1 PM for campers in both full day and
half-day programs. No registration is required for lunchtime, but all campers participating must bring or buy
lunch, see below.
Lunch/Snacks Each child attending the supervised lunch period must bring a lunch or buy a boxed lunch.
The ArtsCenter offers boxed lunch through Amante Gourmet Pizza, which can be ordered daily or weekly.
Daily lunch orders must be placed by 9 AM. The boxed lunch fee is $30 per week, or $6 per day. Amante
lunches will vary daily, but will include items like pizza, sandwiches, fruit, and juice. Vegetarian options are
available. Snacks will be sold during break times, but children are encouraged to bring their own snacks.
Boxed lunch and snack purchases are available only for programs at The ArtsCenter.
