ART CAMP POLICIES
EMERGENCY PERMISSION
I give permission to Fine Art Starts and Staff to make any emergency (ie: first aid, disaster evacuation) measures judged necessary for the care and protection of me and/or my child while participating in Fine Art Starts’ program. In cases of a serious medical emergency, I understand that I/my child will be transported at my expense to the closest hospital by the local emergency unit for treatment if the local emergency resource (police, rescue squad) deem it necessary. I agree to hold Fine Art Starts, its employees, contractors and volunteers harmless in the event of any medical and/or emergency situation. I release all liability from Fine Art Starts and I personally assume any and all risk associated with the program. I understand that in rare medical situations, Fine Art Starts and Staff may contact the local emergency resource before the parent, child’s physician and/or other adult acting on the parent’s behalf.
REFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY
-With more than 2 weeks written/emailed notice, all funds paid (minus the $50 Registration Fee per student/per camp) are refundable and/or transferrable to another workshop or summer camp this year, or towards school year classes, and good for one year from the date of cancellation.
-With only one-week written notice, half the amount paid is refundable to the original payment method (minus the $50 Registration Fee per camper/per camp), or the full amount transferable after the $50 registration fee.
Example of 1-week notice:
Option 1:
$400 paid divided by 2 = $200 minus the $50 registration fee = $150 returned to the original payment method.
Option 2:
$400 paid minus the $50 registration fee = $350 as credit on your account. 1-yr expiration date.
-No refunds, credits, or exceptions after Friday before camp begins since materials have been purchased, Instructor contracts secured and fees we incur related to the registration system and debit/credit card processing fees.
LATE PICK UP POLICY
There is a late fee of $5 for each 10-minutes students are picked up late after dismissal time. It will be automatically charged to your card on file. If you paid with cash or check, you will be reminded to bring payment the following class meeting time (the next day or the next week). Fine Art Starts understands traffic is beyond your control, our staff is paid until all kids are dismissed. If you are late to pick up your camper, charges will apply.
ARTWORK PICK-UP POLICY
All artwork must be picked-up no later than 3 weeks from your class or camp (with the exception of clay work, which is 8 weeks). Fine Art Starts will not be responsible or obligated to keep or store artwork left longer than 3 weeks (except for clay work at 3 weeks). Any work left for more than 3 wks/8 wks becomes property of Fine Art Starts.
WALKING FIELD TRIP PERMISSION
During the camp week, the Full Day campers will take a walking field trip to the Nordia House (about 3 blocks away). Please let us know if you do not want your camper to participate. Otherwise, accepting and agreeing to this waiver acknowledges the activity and grants permission for your camper to be included in this activity.
YOUNG CAMPER READINESS POLICY
If your child is headed to kindergarten this fall, has experienced preschool, is toileting independently, and able to follow directions safely, then they're likely ready for half-day camp (and possibly full day).
Our program requires that campers can follow directions, work both collaboratively and independently at times. We mix up the day between focused, seated instruction and breaks with movement. We are not a sports camp or a daycare program (though you can use the receipt for your FSA). We want our campers to want to be at ART Camp, making art! If their behavior demonstrates they're not ready for our program in a way that takes away from their own experience or the positive experience of others, we'll let you know right away and assess the situation on a case-by-case basis to determine if they may continue, or are not yet prepared for our program(s).
TRANSFER FEE
$5 fee will apply when our staff transfers a student to a different day/time. You're welcome and able to do this yourself on your Active account with no fees.
I AGREE
I have fully read, understand and agree to all Fine Art Starts’ policies, above. I certify that all my information is complete and true. (Checking the box on your paper registration or online registration program confirms you have read and agree to all of the above).
