GENERAL INFOThe ArtsCenter offers one-week and two-week camp programs with half-day and full-day options, as well as early arrival and late departure service. You can mix and match among these programs to fit your schedule and your child’s interests. Our camps focus on skill develop-ment and encourage campers to explore and discover their own cre-ative voice. This year we’ve added more KidsCamp themes, doubled the number of ArtsFocus camps, and expanded our Little Campers program for rising K-1st graders. There’s something exciting for every camper this summer! ArtsCamp StaffArtsCamp Staff is made up of a year-round Coordinator, along with a seasonal Manager and two Assistant Managers. ArtsCamp Instruc-tors are professional artists, who are assisted by a dedicated group of volunteer teen Counselors.

Family Sharing EventsThe opportunity for campers to share their finished work with family members is an important aspect of our camps. Camp staff will provide an exact schedule of Family Sharing events during the first few days of each camp session. While attendance is optional for family members, we hope you will plan to attend. In general, each camp will schedule Family Sharing during the last hour of the final day of the session.

Lunch/SnacksEach child attending the supervised lunch period must bring a lunch or buy a boxed lunch. The ArtsCenter offers an Amante boxed lunch, but pre-registration is required. The boxed lunch fee is $30 per week, or $6 per day. Parents may purchase lunch on a daily basis during the camp week. 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.

Extended SupervisionFor parents who require child supervision beyond scheduled class time we offer three extended supervision pe-riods per day. Supervision is available from 8 – 9 am for $10 a week, and 4 – 5:30 pm for $20 a week. These spots are limited and subject to availability. Additionally, supervision is provided at no charge from noon – 1 pm for campers in both full day and half-day programs.
