Monday, January 27 – Early Registration Opens for ArtsCenter Friends (Family Level and above)Monday, February 10 – Camp Registration Opens for General Public

GENERAL INFOThe 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 camper’s 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 StaffProfessional 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 Director, along with a seasonal Manager and two Assistant Managers.

Family Sharing Events & Open ClassroomThe 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 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. In general, camps will offer either Open Classroom on Thursday or Family Sharing on the final Friday. Both are normally during the last half-hour of that day’s camp.

Extended SupervisionFor 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 – 1pm 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/SnacksEach 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 given to camp staff by 9 a.m. 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 purchase are available only for programs at The ArtsCenter.

Scholarships are limited, and early application is encouraged. We offer scholarships only to those who express significant financial need. Many scholarships are partial and require some financial participation from the family. Scholarship applications are available at The ArtsCenter’s Box Office and on our website (ArtsCenterLive.org).

The Play: Blackbeard the Pirate is a full-length, original musical production featuring a cast of colorful characters, including mermaids, pirates, beach bums, seaweed creatures, parrots and crocodiles, who explore the secrets of Blackbeard’s legendary treasure.
