The safety of our staff, students and their families remains our number one priority.
Our camps have been restructured to accomodate the current COVID-19 public health order.

UPDATES:
NEW IN-STUDIO PROTOCOLS:
- Summer Camps are to prioritize providing childcare for essential workers and allowable workers, as outlined in the current health order.
- Summer Camps are limited to a maximum of 12 students per 3 week session (until further notice is given in future public health orders).
- Drop off & pick up of students will be limited to either curbside or our front door. (Markers on the sidewalk in front of the art studio will provide 6 feet of social distancing if a line for drop off or pick up should form outside the front entrance.)
- Summer Camp hours will be limited to 9am-3pm. Extended Care hours are not being offered at this time.
- Field trips and Friday student art shows will be cancelled until further notice.
- The front gallery & gift shop will remain closed during camp hours except for curbside pick-ups and will not be open to the public until further notice.
- As always, if a camper, teacher or a member of their households is not feeling well, they will be instructed to stay home.
NEW IN-STUDIO PROTOCOLS:
- Children will be screened for signs of illness when arriving each day and throughout the day.
- Students will be required to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds before and after their lesson. (Frequent hand washing will be encouraged and required for both students and staff.)
- Hand sanitizer will be provided upon entering & leaving the studio.
- Children 13 years old and older and all adults are required to wear masks before entering the studio, and while in the studio or backyard. (Though campers 12 years old and younger are not required to wear masks inside the studio under the public health order, we encourage all those who want to wear their masks to do so.)
- Work areas will be sectioned to provide as much space as possibles between campers and 6 feet of social distance will be implemented to the extent possible.
- Weather permitting, campers will also be able to work in our backyard, and our backdoor will be left open as much as possible during camp hours for fresh air and ventilation.
- Tissue will be readily available when needed for campers.
- We will regularly disinfect the art studio, especially high touch surface areas, and we will do a deep clean between each week of camp.
- Our staff has received training on the guidelines outlined for childcare facilities in the local and state public health orders.
NOTE: At this time, camps are limited to 12 students per 3 week session. We will make more spots available when we are given word in upcoming public health orders that it is okay to do so.
