We understand that things happen and plans change. But please understand that we often have to purchase dedicated supplies for classes in advance. And last minute cancellations may make a class fall below enrollment minimums. For this reason, we cannot simply give refunds for most classes. If there is a wait list and someone on the list can take your spot, you may receive a refund, minus a $5 administration fee.
For our single-day events, if you notify us 72 hours or more before registration closes for that class, you will receive a credit towards a future class, minus a $5 administration fee. Notifications received by the day before the event will receive an 50% credit, minus a $5 administration fee. Same-day cancellations or no-shows will not receive a refund or credit.
For multi-day classes, workshops, and camps, you must notify us 5 days before the start of the first day to receive a credit towards a future class, minus a $5 administration fee. If you notify us after this deadline but more than 72 hours before the start of the first class you may receive a 50% credit, minus the $5 administration fee. Within the 72-hour window and after classes have begun, no refunds will be issued. If there is a similar class being offered in which there is room, we may allow a transfer to the other class. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
-
Some art supplies contain allergens (e.g., honey, latex, eggs, gluten), and while we won’t be eating them, a student may come in contact with something on their skin or something airborne. If your child has any known allergies, please let us know on the registration form or immediately after registration via email.
If you or your child has any special needs or limitations (whether physical, developmental, emotional, or psychological), please let us know so our teachers can be made aware and try to accommodate them.
Our facility is on the second floor of an historic building. We also utilize the basement for some classes. These areas are not handicap accessible. Summertime classes are also sometimes held on our lawn.

Cost: $395.00
You may have heard of STEM programs - well, STEAM adds ART! In this camp, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math come together through the power of creativity! We’ll dive deep into the world of STEAM, blending its concepts into every activity and project. Incorporating multiple disciplines encourages students to see the connections between different subjects, fostering a more holistic approach to learning.
We’ll do science experiments, build basic circuits, construct with everyday materials, and design one-of-a-kind masterpieces while exploring the “why” behind the materials and techniques, with fun, engaging projects. Our activities spark curiosity and encourage self-expression. Campers will work solo on some projects, while other projects will be team-based to encourage collaboration, group problem solving, and building communication and interpersonal skills.
Between projects we will have unstructured time, when campers can run around to use some of their extra energy, play counselor-led games, do some quiet sketching, or take a little extra time needed to finish a project. We will spend some of our time outdoors (weather-permitting) for projects and free time.
We will have different projects for each STEAM camp this summer, so you may sign up for more than one!
All supplies are included, plus a camp T-shirt. We’ll be using this shirt as our smock every day.
Students must bring their own nut-free lunch and drink each day.
Registration required by July 7th for Session 1, and July 14th for Session 2. After this date contact us to inquire about late registration availability.
Instructors: Cynthia & Karen
Ages: 7-13 (going into Grades 2-8 in the fall)
