TEAC Open Studio Summer Camp Reg - Summer Camp Week 1
TEAC invites your child to join our Open Studio Summer Camp! What to expect: Just like our Open Studio program, your child will enter the “messy studio” dressed for a mess and ready to CREATE. Each day we begin with a structured, instructed, seasonal and/or master artist-focused 25-45 min project. This gives children time to settle in and meet other children. The rest of the day, children will have the creative license to begin to create whatever they dream with full use of both studios (most days). Clear your trunks! They will use many recycled materials, fabric, foam (oh the foam), paint and glue of course and tons of other supplies they are free to use with the assistance of our CITs, volunteers and Miss Keri.~ SUNSCREEN - There will be playground time as well as outdoor art so please apply sunscreen.~ SNACK & LUNCH - Pack a nut-free lunch/snack and refillable water bottle.All weeks are Mon-FriWeek 1: June 22-26Drop-ins Week 1: $88/per dayWeek 2: July 13-17Week 3: August 3-7Week 4: August 17-21Time: 10:00am - 2:00pmAges: 4+Fee: $348/per weekMax 18 campers Late Pick UpsThe Easton Arts Center Programs conclude at a specific time. We ask that parents make every effort to pick up their child/children on time. We do understand that sometimes circumstances arise and for this reason we will be instituting a 5 minute grace period. Any child/children that are picked up after that 5 minute grace period, are considered a “late pick up” and will be charged a fee of $5, then $1 a minute each additional minute until pickup.
