Details

Pack your bags! It’s time to travel around the world exploring art from many different cultures. We will be learning and taking inspiration from civilizations around the globe. We offer this camp every year because we believe in cultural awareness, and it is inspiring to see young minds learn about new people and places: each year we choose 4 new countries to explore through art and art history. In our last camp, we traveled to Greece, France, Peru, and Tanzania. This year, we are getting our passports stamped in Egypt, Japan, Chile with a focus on Easter Island, and Italy! If you have been to this camp before, you know that we also listen to music from our travel destinations! As we earn our passport stamps, we will bring our art projects to life using a variety of techniques and materials to create artwork in 2-D, 3-D and in mixed media!! We will even throw a slice of Italy in the mix at the end of the week for a pizza party. Don’t miss out on this creative and cultural vacation!

Please read our Covid-19 guidelines below. We will be monitoring the situation with Covid-19, but our current plan is to operate with our usual precautions. We have a thorough sanitation procedure in place, and we will do our best to protect all students. We feel confident that the students will have an enjoyable, didactic and creative experience even with the extra measures put in place to guarantee the safety of everyone. We ask for your full cooperation and transparency as we try to operate at limited capacity, according the to the CDC guidelines, to provide our students with this art enrichment. We will be limiting our collaborative activities and the students will not be sharing materials during class.

Pricing and Payment

We accept payment for summer camp registration on our website, in the studio, or by mailing a check after having registered your camper over the phone. Please note that payment in full is required to guarantee your seat.  Please be aware that your reservation is NOT confirmed until full payment is received.

First Day of Camp – Medical Information

ALL students must be accompanied by a guardian on the first day of camp for initial check-in.  We will check-in campers, accept outstanding payments, review pick-up policies and address any medical concerns.

Artissima Studio must be made aware of all pertinent medical concerns and/or allergies for the safety of the campers. This information will be kept confidential.

Break & Snack

There will be a short break during each day at camp. Campers may bring light snacks to eat during the break; no snacks will be provided.  Due to Covid-19, we will try to eat our snacks outside, picnic style on the lawn. The students must bring a water bottle since we are trying to keep everything very individual due to Covid-19. Campers will not be permitted to leave the premise to obtain food. Please do not pack snacks containing nuts in the case of food allergies.

Dress for a Mess

Due to Covid-19, we will not be providing aprons for the students. Please dress for a mess and/or bring your own apron because it is hard to prevent all messes as the kids excitedly dive into the materials.

COVID-19 Information:

The safety of our students and of the community at large is our number one priority. Therefore, we have instituted the following procedures for our in-person classes at Artissima:

-Parents/guardians of the student will sign a Covid-19 Declaration Form, Release & Questionnaire.

-As a part of the questionnaire, the student and his or her family unit (socially distanced circle at home) must be able to ensure that he or she does not have symptoms in the 14 days leading up to the class, has not tested positive to Covid-19, has not been exposed to anyone who has tested positive in the 14 days leading up to the class, is not waiting for a pending test, has not been out of the country in the last 30 days (before the class), has not been to a Covid-19 hot spot in the United States in the last 30 days (before the class). During the weeks of class, it is imperative that you contact us immediately if any of the declarations above change. This is all written up in the Declaration Form in greater detail.

-The instructors, in turn, will also monitor their symptoms, and they will abide by the aforementioned stipulations.

-By signing the Declaration Form, parents/guardians agree to take the temperature of the student before coming to class. The student’s arrival at class indicates that the student’s temperature is below 100.4 F.
