Q: What sets our camps apart?

​

A: 

• School's Out is a drop in style camp / workshop that takes place during select national holidays and seasonal breaks based on public and private school calendars. These camps span anywhere from one or two days to a a week-long, immersive, artist-led experience.

• Our staff is entirely made up of local artists.

• Students will explore community, arts, nature and facilitation during their week at Camp Create.

• We lead by example and model behavior that builds community within camp.

• We are here to support the success, enrichment, and joy of each child. 

• We are discovery led, and encourage students to identify and reflect on their interactions with the world around them through the lens of lifelong artistry.

• We strive to see ourselves in each other, and to approach each day with genuine empathy and connection.

• We strive to utilize education as a collaborative art form, and are so excited for our cohort to learn, create, and discover right along with your camper!

 

Q: What age range do our camps cater to?

 

A: Our camps are designed for students in kindergarten through 5th grade. This age range ensures that students are comfortable with a full day of instruction and the classroom environment. If a parent is confident that their child can handle the full day and follow our expectations, they are welcome to join. However, if a child isn't able to abide by the expectations, they'll need to be picked up from camp.

 

Q: How do I find the Artscope cottage?

 

A: We recommend using "Artscope" as your GPS destination rather than "2929 Tower Grove Ave." Enter the park on Kingshighway between Arsenal and Magnolia, and follow the southernmost road up to our cottage. We are located at the corner of Arsenal and Center Cross Drive, across the street from the Turkish Pavilion.

 

Q: Is our cottage accessible for people with disabilities?

 

A: Unfortunately, due to the historic nature of our studio, our building is not wheelchair accessible. The bathroom can be accessed via a tight spiral staircase. Additionally, voices can reverberate loudly in our stone building, so those with auditory sensitivities might be more comfortable with noise-dampening devices.

 

Q: What is the refund policy for camp?

 

A: Refunds are only issued for cancellations made at least two weeks prior to the start of camp. There may be some flexibility in moving a camp date if enrollment is low, but this should be checked with the Executive Director.

 

Q: Are masks required at Camp Create?

 

A: Masks are recommended in close quarters, but not required as per current CDC recommendations.

 

Q: Does School's Out offer before or after care?

 

A: No, neither before nor after care is provided for our School Year School's Out programs.
