How it works: Campers will choose up to 4 classes per 2-week session; each class is at the same time every day for the entire two week session.

All campers will receive a lanyard/i.d. with their individual schedules printed, to help them find their classes. All classes are contained and supervised in one area of Vargas Elementary.

Dress for a mess: The best way to experience the arts is to get your hands dirty. Campers will receive two Arts Escape t-shirts to wear to camp.

What to bring: Sunscreen, a water bottle, snack, and a good attitude. If you’re staying for Arts Extension bring a lunch. Appropriate shoes are essential (no flip-flops, Crocs, or boots).
