Summer Studio FAQs
Our summer camps run by the week. However, based on availability, we may be able to accommodate requests for single full day or partial week enrollment. Please email us with your request!
Our morning and full day students arrive at 9am and start off the day with sketching. Each morning we have at least one structured project and one free project, a mid-morning snack break, and recess in our backyard from 11:30am-12pm. At noon our morning students leave, afternoon students arrive, and full day students eat lunch. Each afternoon we have at least one structured project and one free project, a mid-afternoon snack break, and recess from 2:30-3pm. Our afternoon and full day students dismiss at 3pm.
We offer a wide variety of materials to our students, including plaster sculptures, acrylic and watercolor paints, colored and graphite pencils, illustration markers, charcoals, pastels, modeling clay, and some craft materials. Some of our projects are structured, where students are instructed to work with a specific material or subject, and others projects are free, where students can choose what to create. However, we always allow encourage students to incorporate their own interests and creativity into each project so that no two are the same!
Absolutely! Our teachers are very familiar with the various requirements and the summer is a great time for students to focus on art, receive one-on-one instruction, and get a jumpstart on the work before the school year begins.
We have plenty of students that register for multiple weeks of art camp! All of our projects, even structured projects, allow for individuality and student choice. So we will repeat general themes, like landscape paintings or animal drawings, but students will create something new each and every time!
We will supply all art materials, but you will need to pack any food and water for the day. We recommend that all students pack a nut-free snack each day, and full day students need to pack a nut-free lunch. We also recommend dressing your child in clothes that you don’t mind getting messy.
Email us if you'd like to reschedule or cancel your enrollment! Rescheduling is dependent on availability and can only be done for full weeks. Cancellations made at least two weeks in advance receive a 95% refund and cancellations made at least one week in advance receive a 75% refund.
