SUMMER ARTS CAMP > REAL ART  |  REAL FUN!
June 10 - August 23, 2013

With school out, summer is a time of freedom, discovery and self-expression
for children. Make the most of it with Summer Arts Camp (SAC) at the Minnetonka
Center for the Arts. Artist-instructors teach art fundamentals in fun, age-appropriate
activities that encourage artistic exploration. Camps are available in all mediums:
ceramics, drawing, painting, fiber, photography, jewelry, glass and sculpture
(depending on age group). Half-day and full-day art experiences are possible.

CAMP DETAILS
Below are details about the Summer Arts Camp experience to help your child have the best possible experience.

Summer Arts Camp Schedule
Morning sessions: 9:30 a.m. to Noon
Lunch break: Noon to 1 p.m.
Afternoon sessions: 1 - 3:30 p.m.
Campers must be picked up promptly at the end of class. Late fees are charged at 15 minutes or more.

Lunch & Snack Breaks
All classes take a 15-minute supervised snack break half-way through class. Campers participating in
full-day classes take a one-hour, supervised lunch break. Please pack an appropriate snack and/or
lunch for your child or plan to purchase in the Art Center Café. The Art Center does not provide snacks
and lunches.

Please notify us at least three weeks in advance if your child has special dietary issues that may affect
the other campers and we will do our best to notify parents of the issue.
Please note: The Art Center is NOT a peanut-free facility.
 
Camp Attire
Summer Arts Camp classes use high-quality arts materials for all projects. Please dress your children in appropriate clothing as some pigments and materials may stain. The Art Center is not responsible for
clothing that is damaged in art classes. Children will play games outdoors during snack and lunch
breaks, weather permitting. Please dress your children in appropriate clothing and footwear for outdoor
play (closed-toe athletic shoes are best).

Art Project Pick-up
Campers are so proud of their completed artwork! Yet some can’t be taken home until later. Instructors
will provide pick-up information. Please pick up children’s projects on time. We strongly recommend that
you bring your child with you to help identify their project.
All camp projects that are not picked up by 5 p.m. on Friday, September 12th, will be recycled.

Artist-Instructors
Summer Arts Camp instructors are all college graduates who are either teaching artists or art educators.
Camp assistants and interns are college students currently enrolled in studio art or art education courses.
All classes have an assigned instructor and many have one or more assistants.

Before/After Daycare
Creative Kids Academy next door is available for before or after care, for parent convenience.
Call 952-679-1375 to make daycare arrangements. (Daycare fees not included in Summer Arts Camp registrations.)


REGISTRATION DETAILS
Age Groups & Class Sizes
In order to ensure a positive and successful camp experience, we ask that parents, guardians and
caregivers abide by the age restrictions when registering their children for classes. Children must have
reached the minimum age required by the date that the registered camp class begins. No exceptions
will be made and documentation of age may be required.

To ensure that each camper has a good learning experience, Summer Arts Camp classes are limited
to a maximum of 16 campers per class (maximum 12 campers in stone and wood carving classes and
some Group D classes). Each class has one adult instructor, one adult assistant and often times one
college student intern supervising the children, so every child gets the attention and support they deserve.

Registrations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Register early for the greatest selection.

Register by Phone or In Person
Registrations may also be made by phone by calling 952.473.7361, x. 16, and speaking with a Registrar.
All tuition fees must be paid in full when your register.

Tuition
Tuition fees range from $30 to $170 per class, depending on hours/week and type of art medium. Tuition
fees are listed by class for Art Center members and non-members. Memberships may be purchased at
time of registration and a 10% savings can be realized immediately.
Scholarships are available (see below).

Payment may be made online or by phone using Visa, Mastercard or American Express. If you’d like to pay
in cash or by check, you may register by mail or at the Art Center. Please visit a Registrar at the front desk.

Tuition Assistance
Scholarships based on financial need are available for campers. Funds are limited, so please apply at least
14 days prior to the class start date. Ask the Registrar for information, 952.473.7361, x. 16,
or download an application form


Cancellations
There will be a $15 administrative fee charged for all changes, transfers or cancellations, with the
exception of Group A classes only.

Campers who withdraw 29 or more days prior to the class start date will receive a 100 percent refund,
minus the administrative fee per class.

Campers who withdraw 15 to 28 days prior to the class start date will receive a 50 percent refund,
minus the administrative fee per class.

No refunds will be issued 0 to 14 days prior to the class start date.

Campers may transfer from one class to another up to 14 days prior to the class start date with a $15
administrative fee per class.

In the case of illness (physician’s note required), campers may transfer classes until the first day
of class, subject to availability, with a $15 administrative fee per class. No refunds will be issued after
the start of the class due to illness.

In the event the Art Center must cancel a session due to insufficient enrollment, a full refund will be issued.
If a session is cancelled, the Art Center will notify parents before the class is scheduled to start.

The Art Center reserves the right to cancel classes that do not meet the enrollment minimum
of 6 or more campers.


Late Pick-up Fees
Caregivers should drop off and pick up their children at the main entrance to the Art Center.
Please do not drop your child off more than 5 minutes before class time, unless it is at
Creative Kids Academy and arrangements have been made with them.

At the end of class, please pick up your child promptly. A $10 per 15-minute late fee per child will be
charged to parents when campers are not picked up on time after their Summer Arts Camp activities.
Late pick-up fees are due at pick up.
Cash, check, or credit card is accepted.

15 minutes late = $10
15 - 30 minutes late = $20
30 - 45 minutes late = $30
45 - 60 minutes late = $40
