Common questions about our camps

Do you have family references?

Certainly. Give us a call and we will gladly give you some names and numbers! Feel free to read some Testimonials.

How long have you been running camps?

This is our 6th year running day camps. We have nearly 80% return of families because our camps change each season, so kids don't get bored. Our prices are competative with other camps your child may have tried but keep in mind we have a lower staff ratio and have teacher directed activities and classroom structure all day.

Will my kids be doing real art? What is the overall experience of the staff? What is the camp atmosphere like? etc...

Absolutely will they be doing REAL ART! We are known for providing a challenging & creative atmosphere! We are not your run-of-the-mill camp. Your kids come home with projects they are proud of. We do everything from tie-dye, canvas painting, cartooning & ceramics to sewing, baking & macrame. We take your kids way back into the art & music world, teaching them about theory, composers, master artists and technique. We also show them the simple ways they can create art from things at home! All our art supplies are of the finest quality.

All our teachers have been teaching for a minimum of 5 years and we deeply care about children, music & art...and everything in between. We encourage independence, self-confidence and self praise. We encourage you to be a part of their experience when you pick them up. You will see a big smile on their face as they run to you to show you what they did!

What do they during extended camp?

Your child will have an opportunity to engage in any music class that is on-going at the studio. It depends on the day, but the music studio offers small group classes in voice, guitar, violin & piano for children on any given day.

We have also found that children engage themselves all on their own by doing skits they learned in drama, finishing up a craft or drawing they did that day, making greeting cards at our ever-popular greeting card station, or just getting crafty with the many supplies we have laying about.

Whatever the case, your child will be having fun and getting to know the other awesome kids that attend our camps. Our extended camp kids usually look forward to this part of the day because it's more relaxed with less children and class changes. We also have awesome kid-sized chess boards so they can teach us right brain art teachers a thing or two!
