Camps
Meeting the CDC recommendations we have rearranged the studio for a natural social distance flow. We now have large tables to accommodate everyone. Each week each child will be provided with their own materials, tools and smocks use for the week. All children are required to wear a mask or face shield while in the studio. We will also be going for walks and have our lunch outside picnic style. Our camps are limited to 14 kids per week so that we can offer plenty of room at the tables. We have added an air filter in the studio to help keep the air clean.
If someone in your family is exposed to the covid 19 virus or exhibiting and ill symptoms in the days before camp pleass let us know and we can work our a credit or partial refund.
All of our teachers have been vaccinated. Due to CDC reccommendations teachers will no longer wear masks during camp.
