Frequently Asked Questions
What time does camp begin each day? What time does camp end?
The camp day runs 9 AM – 3 PM. After 3 PM campers have structured free time that consists of self-guided crafting, outdoor time and/or rest in our cool down area. Parent pick-up is between 4 PM and 5:30 PM. Please note this is different from our school year programs, and campers picked up after 5:30 PM will be charged a late fee. There is a 15-minute grace period.
What are your COVID policies this summer?
Masking will be optional and strictly at your camper’s comfort. That said, if a camper is showing any signs of COVID-like symptoms they will be sent home immediately.
Is lunch provided? How many snacks will my camper receive? Is there a kitchen on site?
We participate in a free food program (NDS) that does not feature options or flexibility in what we receive each day. If you have a picky eater or have specific dietary restrictions please pack your child’s lunch each day. We will have snacks and water available on site though we do not have a kitchen.
How many campers can enroll in a session? Does the camp sell out? My child wants to enroll in the same week as their friend, can we make that happen?
Our Young Artist Camp capacity is 50 students and our Sculpture Camp capacity is 20 students. Camp sessions do sell out and as such we are unable to hold spaces or move groups around to accommodate playdates. If you would like to ensure your camper is with friends we strongly recommend coordinating with them directly prior to registering.
How are the campers divided into groups? If my camper doesn’t like their group or the activity can they switch?
Campers are grouped based on age (i.e. 6-8 year olds, 9-11 year olds, 11+). Unlike our school year programming, kids are not able to transfer or switch into other activities. Our camp programming is project based, not class based with all projects being catered to their age group specifically.
Do you offer a sibling discount?
Yes. Discounts are applied automatically in the registration process. If you are having issues please contact Alana at programs@ucartsleague.org.
My child is 5 years old. Can I enroll them? My child can no longer attend the camp. Are any of the fees refundable or transferable?
No. In previous years we have accepted 5-year olds but after much conversation with our staff, counselors and our constituents in childcare we have decided to raise the age minimum to 6-years old. If you are looking for daycare or childcare for children under the age of 6 we recommend our friends at the Parent Infant Center, Salamander Arts, or Play Arts. Camp is not a drop-in style program and thus campers who miss a day here or there will not be eligible for refunds or credits.
Cancellations made before June 26th will receive a full refund. Any cancellations after that date will result in partial refunds.
I just registered online. Will I receive additional paperwork?
Yes. Camp families will receive a packet that includes all pertinent information regarding the daily schedule, staffing, policies and procedures the week before camp starts. Each Sunday families will receive an email detailing any new or important information for that particular week of camp. This year all parents and guardians will be invited to a camp open house to meet staff and talk through details. This will be hosted sometime in June.
Do I need to register for the entire week?
Yes. This is not a drop-in style program.
Is there a waitlist for sold out sessions?
Yes. Those on the waitlist will be notified if space opens up.
If you have further questions or would like any other clarifying information please email Alana Harris at programs@ucartsleague.org.
