Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I know if my child(ren) is ready for summer camp? Summer camp is not school; however, we do have a few simple rules your child(ren) will need to be able to follow to fully enjoy our program. Campers should be able to use the restroom independently, sustain attention for 15-20 minutes, listen and not talk while the art teacher is speaking, keep their hands and feet to themselves, and be willing to explore creative experiences they may not have ever tried before. Most importantly, your child(ren) must want to be at summer art camp. We ask that parents do not sign their children up for summer art camp if they express that they do not want to go.
When does the camp day start and end? The Summer Camp hours at Studio 323 run from 9am to 4pm and our full-day campers are with us during these hours, including the lunch hour. Our half-day campers come in the morning from 9am-12pm or in the afternoon from 1pm-4pm.
What is Studio 323’s approach to art education? We believe in process over product and having fun with art! We provide materials and art prompts with plenty of guardrails to support the creative process. But when a camper says, “Can I do it this way?” We say YES! All instruction and support are provided according to individual camper need. Fun is the anticipated outcome!
What is the teacher to camper ratio? We will have at least two teachers and one assistant present at all times with a maximum of 15 campers.
What should my child(ren) wear to camp? Close-toed shoes are recommended and must remain on during camp. Sneakers with socks are best as we will do some walking outside each day. Comfortable clothing that can get dirty, stained, or paint splattered. We provide aprons, but it is best for young artists NOT to wear their best! Studio 323 will not be responsible for clothing that is stained during camp. If your child(ren) have sensory needs that prevent them from wearing the recommended clothing, please let us know prior to camp.
What should I pack for my child(ren) to bring to camp? And what should we not pack? Please send your child(ren) to camp with a refillable water bottle, sweater/jacket if they get chilly in air conditioning, a snack if there are allergy or preference concerns, lunch if they are joining us the full day. Studio 323 will provide one snack for each camper for the morning and afternoon sessions. PLEASE DO NOT SEND PERSONAL ITEMS (INCLUDING TOYS, ART MATERIALS, PHONES, EAR BUDS, ETC). If you are unsure if an item can be brought to camp, please err on the side of not bringing it. Email us if you have a question. STUDIO 323 IS A NUT-FREE FACILITY. PLEASE DO NOT PACK NUTS OR NUT BUTTERS.
