Required Forms for Clubs & Camps

Classroom & Camp Guidelines:

My goal is to create a fun, safe, and creative space where every child can enjoy making art and feel successful. To support this, I ask that all students come ready to participate in a group setting, follow instructions, and respect the space, materials, and one another.

We use high-quality and thoughtfully prepared supplies, often in limited quantities, so they can be enjoyed throughout the year. Students are expected to use only the materials provided and treat them with care.

Please note:

• The book/gift shop is not to be used without supervision

• This is a shared building with other businesses; common areas (Sky Lounge) and restrooms are reserved for adult use and not intended for play.

• Our studio is fully equipped for your child’s needs, and outdoor areas will have clear defined boundaries for safety

A Good Fit for Everyone:

These classes/camps are designed as art instruction and creative exploration in an accepting expressive environment. This is NOT a childcare facility or one-on-one support (unless hired for private Art instruction). Students should desire engagement in the arts or learning to appreciate the arts and feel comfortable working independently within a group and be able to follow age-appropriate directions.

My core curriculum begins at 3rd grade (typically age 8–9). In some cases (such as Art Club or Camp), younger students may participate if they are able to meet the readiness expectations outlined below.

​

Behavior & Participation:

If a child has difficulty participating, is frequently disruptive, behaves unsafely, takes supplies without asking or is disrespectful to others or the space, I may need to end their participation early. While this is never an easy decision, it is necessary to maintain a positive experience for the group.

If important information about a child’s needs is not shared prior to registration, I reserve the right to cancel participation without a refund.

​

Individual Needs:

Every child is unique, and I’m happy to connect in advance to see if a program youre interested in is a good fit. I offer a brief (15-minute) meet-and-greet to help guide placement, and students are welcome to audit a club when appropriate.

While I provide guidance and support for creative challenges—such as using tools, fiber arts, fine motor skills, measuring, writing, and problem-solving—I am not able to offer one-on-one care during camps or classes.

Private sessions may be available for students who would benefit from more individualized support.

​

Student Readiness Checklist:

While there is always some flexibility, students are generally expected to be able to:

• Follow simple 2–3 step instructions

• Participate in a group setting with peers

• Take turns and share materials

• Stay engaged in an activity for a period of time (30-60min intervals)

• Handle small frustrations with support

• Respond to redirection and return to the activity

• Work with some independence without constant one-on-one help, redirecting, or being spoken to

• Treat others, themselves, and materials with kindness and respect

• ​

 Forms: please read closely as we reserve the right to cancel a students participation without refund 

To help me best support your child, all required forms must be completed at registration, including health information, emergency contacts, permission, hold harmless and relevant background details. Failure to do so will result in your students inability to participate.

​

Working Together:

Thank you for helping create a kind, respectful, and inspiring environment for all young artists. I put a lot of care into designing camps and classes that are engaging, supportive, and full of creativity.

With a shared foundation of respect, we can create something truly special together. I appreciate your partnership in making this a positive experience for everyone!
