PA Day Camp | Half Day | 9-12pm
- Camps run from 9 am-12pm.
- Ages 5-12. Must be 5 on the day camp begins.
- Drop off only. Students must be able to walk into the class by themselves, no credits or refunds.
- Please bring 1 nut-free snack & a water bottle. Food and beverages are not included.
- drop-off → you can arrive up to 10 minutes before camp starts.
- pick-up → please come anytime in the last 10 minutes before camp ends.
- different pick-up person? → let the instructor know at drop-off if someone else will be picking up your child.
- older kids walking home? → please also let us know at drop-off if your child has permission to leave on their own.
✨ thanks for helping us start and end the day on time — it keeps the whole studio running like a well-oiled paintbrush.
- cancellations → we do not offer refunds at any time. if you need to cancel, we can issue a 30-day credit (to be used on future camps or classes) if you let us know at least 2 weeks before camp. less than 2 weeks’ notice = no credit.
- late pick-up → please be on time. late pick-ups may result in a fee ($25/20 min/child)
- food rules → we ask families to send nut-free snacks and lunches, and remind kids there’s no sharing food (siblings are the only exception). please double check what you pack before sending.
- drop-off only → parents don’t stay during camp — kids get the most out of it when they’re fully on their own.
- finished artwork → most clay pieces take about 3 weeks to be glazed or fired. Please come back to pick them up. We'll hold them for 60 days.
✨ these guidelines keep the camp fun, safe, and smooth for everyone.
We want camp to be fun, safe, and inspiring for every kid. here’s what we expect (and celebrate!) each day:
🌟 What we love to see
- curious questions
- kindness + teamwork
- respect for classmates, staff, and art materials
- following safety rules so everyone stays happy + paint-covered (in a good way)
🚫 What doesn’t fly
- ignoring instructors
- hands on other kids (keep them on your own art!)
- aggressive, disruptive, or rude behaviour
⚠️ if expectations aren’t met, we’ll call you to pick up your child right away. no credit or refund will be provided.
✨ bottom line: when kids show curiosity, kindness, and creativity, everyone wins (and earns more badges 🎉).
Why parents love our camps
- kids come home happy + tired → you know they had a good day when they can’t stop talking about what they made (and then fall asleep early 🙌).
- indoor + supervised → no chasing sunscreen, no bug spray, no worries. our studios are fully indoors and led by trained instructors who love working with kids.
- every child is seen → from daily badge ceremonies to our weekly end-of-day gallery show on Fridays, your child will always be recognized and celebrated.
- flexible scheduling → half days, full days and full week camp… pick what works best for your family.
- real art, real materials → we use professional supplies and techniques, so kids feel like actual artists (because they are).

A day at camp
Every day is a little different, but here’s the general vibe.
Badge of honour
Every day at camp, kids earn a special badge that celebrates something they brought to the studio that day. Here's an example of some badges.
What to bring
*no outdoor gear needed — camp is 100% indoors (no sunscreen, hats, or bug spray required)
Friday Gallery Time
Parents, you’re invited! Each Friday, come inside for a quick peek at what your child created. kids love showing off their masterpieces — and you’ll love seeing all that messy magic.
✨ heads up: most artwork needs to be finished, glazed, or fired before it’s ready to take home. pieces will be ready about 3 weeks later. we’ll send you a pick-up reminder so nothing gets left behind.
FAQs
(aka questions we hear all the time)They make art. real art. we’re talking paint, clay, prints, drawings… plus a dash of art history so they can casually drop “impressionism” at the dinner table.
Nope. we’re the art people, not the snack people. please send them with fuel from home. no nuts please!
- water bottle
- snacks (nut free!)
- lunch (full day kids only)
- clothes for art
Yes, but only for half days. Full days are reserved for the 6+ crowd—unless they have an older sibling enrolled with them and can handle the long days.
Nope. this is a drop-off-only zone. trust us—kids have way more fun (and freedom) when you’re not watching from the corner.
Let’s just say: clothes and shoes will never be the same again. we use acrylic paint, and it does not come out of clothes. think of it as wearable art.
We do not offer a later option beyond 4 pm.
