    2. Check-in will be in the studio where your child will be given a lanyard nametag each day and checked in by their teacher or camp class intern. Teen campers may head to their studio on their own. Ages 4-12 must be accompanied by their adult.
    3. Please allow extra time on Mondays as it is a new camp week and everyone is finding their way.

    1. Camp pick-up for our 4-12 year olds is in their assigned studio at noon or 4pm sharp.
