FAQs for In-Person Summer Art Camp

Parent Manual

A copy of the Parent Manual is available through our registration portal. During the registration process, parents are required to read the manaul and electronically sign an acknowledgement statement. Parents of registered campers will be sent a copy of the camp manual in an email a couple weeks before the start of camp. The Parent Manual includes camp guidelines and pertinent information regarding your child’s camp experience. We recommend all parents read this manual thoroughly.

Harwood Art Center is a nut-free campus.

Refund Policy

A non-refundable deposit of $100 per session is required upon registration. If you choose to pay the full tuition at the time of registration and later withdraw, you will receive a refund less the $100-per-session deposit. To receive a refund, withdrawals must be made at least two weeks prior to the start of your child’s session. There will be no reduction of fees due to absence, illness, withdrawals or suspension.

Please Note: Full payment of camp fees must be made no later than one week prior to the start of your child’s session. If full payment is not received by this date, your child will be automatically dis-enrolled and your deposit will be forfeited.

Lunch & Snacks

Students are required to bring their own sack lunch and snack (one for morning and one for afternoon) with them to camp. We are a nut free campus, so please don’t send nuts, nut butters or any snacks with nuts in them.

This year we are pleased to offer daily lunch options from the Harwood Cafe! Lunch is $5 per day. There is a different lunch offering each day. Once menus become available we will post them here and email copies to registered families. We will also have copies of the menu / order form available in the cafe.

Lunch must be ordered and paid for online. Parents can either purchase lunch on a daily basis, or purchase for the whole session.
