What kinds of activities will campers do?
Campers explore a variety of art projects, including acrylic painting, watercolor, colored pencils, charcoal, pastels, and clay, depending on the day. They learn how to use different media, practice drawing and shading, and experiment with techniques.

 

Will there be craft projects too?
Yes, we may include some small craft activities, but our main focus is on fine art skills such as drawing, sketching, and painting.

 

How many projects will they complete?

We usually complete two projects each day—one in the morning and one in the afternoon. However, larger projects might require an entire day to finish. 

 

Can I register for just a single day instead of the whole week?Yes! Single-day registration is available. Please note that this option applies only to our Spring Camp, Winter Camp, and School’s Out Camp. Single-day registration is not available for the Summer Camp.

 

Are the lessons suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. All lessons are step-by-step and adjusted for different ages and skill levels.

​

If my child attends multiple days, will the projects repeat?
No, each day has different projects, so campers always create something new.

​

Is there outdoor playtime?
No, camp is entirely indoors.

​

What should campers bring?
Please send a lunch, snacks, and a water bottle.

​

Do you provide smocks?
Yes, we supply smocks, but we recommend campers wear clothes that can get messy.

​

Are campers grouped by age?
Typically, yes. Depending on enrollment, we often split into two age-based groups.

 

What is the usual number of campers in a single group?
On average, there are 8–10 campers per group with dedicated instructors.

 

Do you offer extended care?
Yes! Extended care runs from 3:00 PM – 5:30 PM for $20/day or $100/week.

 

What do campers do during extended care?
This is a relaxed time when children can socialize, read, or work on additional art activities. We encourage them to bring books or quiet activities if they’d like.

​

Are devices allowed?
Yes, but only during lunch and extended care.

 

What happens if my child is on the waitlist?
You’ll first receive a waitlist confirmation email. If a spot opens, we’ll contact families in the order they joined the list.

 

What is your cancellation policy?

Because we send out invoices, we do not collect or store your payment information. As a result, when issuing a refund for a paid invoice, we can only process the refund through one of the following methods:

• Mailed check
   

• Venmo
   

• Zelle
   

• PayPal

Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance for a refund, minus a $15 processing fee per registration.
No refunds are given for cancellations made less than 24 hours before camp.
Missed days or weeks are non-refundable and cannot be made up.

What are the age requirements?
Camp is open to children ages 5–12, but we also welcome 4.5-year-olds (especially siblings) and children up to age 14.

​

Can you remind my child to take medication?
Yes. Please email us at tysonsartlearning@gmail.com to request an authorization form for medication reminders.

• Full Day (9:00 AM – 3:00 PM): $90/day
   

• Sibling Rate: $80/day
   

• Extended Care (3:00 – 5:30 PM): $20/day
   

Are allergies accommodated?
Yes. Please inform us of any allergies in advance, and we’ll do our best to provide a safe environment. (Note: this is a peanut-free camp.)

 

How do you handle discipline or behavior issues?

1. Poses a threat to the safety or welfare of any individual on site.
