So lets have a wonderful summer together, creating memories and works of art to treasure.

Are there refunds on camp?
We do not offer refunds on summer camp. Summer camp purchases, MUST be used by the end of the summer. Classes cannot be used towards anything other than what they are purchased for. Example, you cannot apply summer camps towards art lessons or gifts. One of our main reasons for not offering refunds is: We are a small business! We are an art business. Art supplies are ordered in advance for every student. We train and staff our camps, and invest a lot of money into being licensed, having a Dr on call should we need one and making sure every child has the best possible camp experience.
