Summer Arts Camp classes use high-quality arts materials for all projects. As some pigments and materials may stain, please dress your children in appropriate clothing. The Art Center is not responsible for clothing that is damaged in art classes. Children will play games outdoors during snack and lunch breaks, weather permitting. Please dress your children in appropriate clothing and footwear for outdoor play (closed-toe athletic shoes are best). Campers are so proud of their completed artwork! Yet some ceramic and glass projects need firing and can’t be taken home until later. Instructors will provide specific pickup information. Please pickup children’s projects on time, typically three weeks after class end. We strongly recommend that you bring your child with you to help identify their project. All unclaimed items will be recycled after September 25. Summer Arts Camp classes are taught by working artists. Many have master’s degrees, all have quality teaching experience. Please find bios in the Summer Arts Camp catalog or online. Caregivers should accompany children to and pickup from their classrooms.
