Art Camp FAQ's


Registrations: All required registration forms must be completed and turned in before beginning camp. Our youngest campers must be 5 years of age on or before their first day of camp.


Special requests: Please specify on your registration form if you would like your child in the same classroom as their friend. We will do our best to honor all requests. Note: A request for an older child to be with a younger child will be honored only with the older child in the younger group.


What to Wear: Dress for mess. Dress comfortably (jeans, sneakers, t-shirts). "Roller" or "Heely" shoes are not allowed at art camp.


Snacks and Lunch: Two 15 minute breaks are taken in the 5-12 year old program; one in the morning and one in the afternoon and a snack can be brought from home or purchased at our snack cart if desired. Snacks off the cart are available for 75 cents each. The 9-12 year olds have 30 minutes for lunch from 11:45am-12:15pm. The 5-8 year olds have 30 minutes for lunch from 12:15pm-12:45pm. Weather permitting, all campers eat outside at picnic tables in our fenced-in clay porch area. All campers should bring a lunch from home. Please note: Lunches are not refrigerated. Please include a freeze pack in your camper's lunch, if needed.


Transfers, Cancellations, & Refunds


Transfers: Campers may transfer to another week provided space is available. Transfers must be made before the 1st day of camp.


Cancellations: The Arts Center reserves the right to cancel any session which does not meet minimum enrollment, in which case a full refund will be given.


Refunds: Withdrawal from any class, workshop, or camp must take place one week (7 days) prior to the start date of the program. A full tuition refund will be issued less a 15% administrative fee.

A 50% credit will be issued toward a future class, workshop, camp, or gift shop purchase for withdrawals taking place during the week preceding the start of a program. Credit is valid up to one year.

Once a program has begun, no refunds will be issued.


The Arts Center is a not-for-profit arts organization, and we welcome students of all creeds and ethnic origins. Scholarship funds may be available. Please contact Katie Screven in the Education Department at (727) 822-7872, ext. 29.


If you are registering your child over the phone, be sure to make special requests at the time that you register.
