Summer Art Camp FAQs
How early can I drop off my child in the morning?
Doors will open at 8:30am for morning session drop-offs.
Are supplies provided for the camps that I sign up for?
Unless otherwise stated in course descriptions, supplies will be provided to participants who sign up for our summer camp sessions.
Which age groups does your camp serve?
Artspace Summer Camp has a wide range of classes serving young artists from rising grades 1-12. We have four categories of grade ranges, grades 1st-3rd, 3rd-5th, 6th-8th, and 9th-12th.
What if my student falls in between two grade categories for your camp?
If your student falls in between two grade categories, they can be registered for camps in either grade category. For example, a current 3rd grader who will be in 4th grade in the fall may be registered for camps in grade levels 1st-3rd or 3rd-5th. The same is true for 5th graders going into 6th grade or 8th graders going into 9th grade. We ask parents to consider their student’s level of comfort in being among the youngest or oldest in their class prior to making a decision. This accommodation applies only to students in between grade levels among our grade categories. Any registrations made for students who are not in the correct grade category will be canceled. (i.e. a 1st grader who was registered into our 3rd-5th camp will be canceled.)
Does Artspace Summer Art Camp provide lunch?
Artspace, in partnership with a lunch vendor, will provide healthy + free lunches to all of our full day scholarship students during our summer camp programing. Non-scholarship students will have the option to order lunch from our vendor. Vegetarian options are available.
How should my child dress for camp?
Throughout the summer our students will be engaging in hands-on art activities which could lead to some messy outcomes. Make sure your child is dressed in clothing that one wouldn’t mind getting messy in, while making sure to also dress comfortably for warmer weather. We do have air conditioning in our building so perhaps packing a light sweater could be necessary for your child. For everyone’s safety, close-toed shoes are preferred.
Will my child be outside during camp?
Artspace is located at the epicenter of an educational, cultural and entertainment hub with multiple options within walking distance. Instructors may choose to make use of these resources as part of their curriculum. With sufficient time and communication, instructors will inform and obtain permission from parents if they choose to venture outside Artspace. For specific questions regarding this, please contact Danny Peña at dpena@artspace.org.
