How does pickup and dropoff work?

-Please send our Text Captain a text when you arrive at camp with your child’s name, as well as the make and model of your car and she will come pick your child up from the car for dropoff / walk your child to their car for pickup.   Children are expected to walk with the teacher from the parking lot to the studio.  Please do not let your children go near the train tracks. It is an active train line! Please, text upon arrival and pickup: (513) 814-8123. If someone not listed on your camp form will be picking up or dropping off your child(ren), please text this number and let us know.

What should my child bring with them to camp?

-Half day campers will need to pack a snack and drink for camp.  Eating Times are: 

10:30 for the 9-Noon Campers

Noon is Lunch for FULL DAY campers 

2:30 for the 1-4 PM Campers

Please make sure your child has breakfast or lunch and is fueled for camp!  We have a lot to imagine and create and want to optimize our time. If your child is attending full day, please pack a couple snacks, a lunch, and a drink.

What should my child wear?

-We cannot guarantee that paint will wash out of clothing. Please have your children dress in clothes that they feel free to create in! Suggestion: If your child has long hair, please put their hair back in a ponytail as we are sometimes painting on the floor with our hands, and it will be best to keep their hair out of their face.

What is your Behavior Policy?

-Behavior Policy-Specifically designed for Preschool campers, but true for all campers:
We are so excited to have your little one(s) joining us for Art Spark camp!  We realize that our campers may be experiencing their first summer camp with us and we hold that in high regard. Our little campers will learn all about art and creativity while at the same time grow to be more independent. We know this can be a lot for them and always strive to teach with patience and kindness.  We use a myriad of different art supplies with the children and as teachers we are sometimes handling hot glue guns, sharp scissors, box cutters, etc. We keep these away from the little ones, but if the camper refuses to listen they could get hurt. We try to maintain an extremely safe atmosphere and listening to the teacher is number one in promoting a secure environment. To help create this environment, we ask that you speak to your child(ren) before camp to encourage good listening, not putting found objects into their mouth, the importance of sharing, and staying with the teacher at all times. If your camper seems to be experiencing behavior issues, we will follow our 1, 2, 3 policy below:

Step 1: Take action within the camp to change the behavior.
Step 2: If the behavior doesn’t positively change, we will reach out to our camper’s parent or guardian to address the issue.
Step 3: If said behavior continues to persist, we will unfortunately have the student stop camp and refund the remaining time.
