Keep camp fees reasonable while providing high quality art experience and to provide scholarships for those in financial need. Your contributions help keep camp accessible for all.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The Museum is dedicated to making art accessible to all children in our community. To meet this goal the Museum provides scholarships to those in need. Although we would like to assist everyone, scholarships are limited, and early applications are encouraged.
IMPORTANT CAMP INFORMATION
Camp Location: Hughes Fine Arts Center, Room 111
Drop Off Time: 8:45 – 9:00 am
Pick Up Time: 3:00 – 3:15 pm
Parking is located in the Hughes Fine Arts Center lot
Lunches and Snacks:
Each camper must bring their lunch.
Please note there is no access to refrigeration or heating appliances. Campers cannot be allowed to use vending machines. Snacks will be provided by the Museum once a day, e.g., a juice box and serving-size bag of chips.
We appreciate that some parents offer to supply snacks for the day. If you wish to do this, please let us know a day in advance.
Suggestions to Pack:
Ask your camper(s) to wear appropriate clothes that can get stained. After all, this is an art-making camp and we’ll be getting messy.
Each camper is assigned a locker. You may wish to consider packing a sweater or light jacket (air conditioning in the building can get cool), comfortable shoes for standing, walking, and playing outside, hat or sunglasses, and sunscreen. Please mark all items. Leftover items are donated at the end of each camp.
Receptions:
On Fridays at 2:00 pm the campers design and hold a brief reception and art show for parents, friends, and family. Park in the same area that you drop them off in the morning. The campers are proud of their week’s work. We encourage you to show your support by attending the reception. This is also a time for you to meet the teaching artist, Museum staff, and all the other campers and families that make camps possible. Please prepare to take home the artwork at 3:00 pm, after the reception. You will want to bring your camera.
Thank you to our Reception Sponsor
for providing a pizza party at the end of every week!
