You've got questions, we've got answers, Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about our school year camps. If you have any question not covered on this list, feel free to contact us via the email and phone number listed below. 

​1. How does a half-day and a full-day camp work?
A half-day camp is either a morning camp running from 9am-12pm, or an afternoon camp running from 1-4pm. Each half-day camp focuses on one subject, such as Drawing & Painting, or Cartoon & Comics, and includes one 20 minute snack/outside break.
 
A full-day of camp would be the combination of two half-day morning and afternoon camps so campers would do one medium in the morning and a different medium in the afternoon and includes two 20-minute snack/outside breaks along with a lunch hour.
 
The exception to this is our All-day Pottery camps, which run from 9am-4pm. Pottery camps will have the same number of breaks as a full-day camp schedule.
 
2. Do you serve lunch?
No, we do not serve food, nor do we have any food at our facilities. If you child is staying for the lunch period (12pm-1pm), please pack a nut-free lunch for your child or he or she will be very sad and hungry!

3. What do campers do at lunch?
Along with eating their packed lunch, campers can participate in watching a classic children’s movie, socializing, or playing one of the table-top games during the lunch hour.

4. Do campers go outside at all? 
Yes, weather and temperature permitting we take a 20 minute mid-morning break in our 9am - 12pm camps, and a 20 minute mid-afternoon break in our 1pm - 4pm camps to go to a nearby park, eat packed snacks, and run out some energy. A full-day camp includes both breaks, morning and afternoon.

5. Where is the park?
We take the campers on a 5-minute walk to Confluence Park. The park has a play-scape, picnic tables, water fountains, and restroom facilities.

6. Do I need to pack a snack?
Yes. Please! (We find campers can get a little grumpy without their snacks.) If your child is attending a half-day camp, we will have one snack break; if attending a full-day, we will have two snack breaks. Please pack accordingly or your little one will be very sad watching the others eating snacks without them.

7. Can I bring my child early?  / Can I pick up my child late?
You are welcome to drop your child off up to 10 minutes early and to pick up your child up to 10 minutes late. We do not offer Early Arrival or Extended Stay options for our school year camps. 

8. Do campers need to wear their Museo Purple Shirt every day?
Yes! Campers will receive a purple Museo shirt on the first day of camp and will wear their shirt over their first-day-of-camp clothes. Campers are required to wear their purple Museo shirt on the other days of the week as well to make sure that they don’t get their own clothes dirty and to be easily recognized and highly visible when we go to the park.

9. How does the Facebook Buddy Discount work?
You can save up to $50 per camp with our Facebook Buddy Discount. Check out the details and our step-by-step guide with screen shots.

10. What type of shoes should my child wear to camp?
Tennis shoes/shoes that can be played in at the park. Preferably no sandals and please no flip flops!

11. Can I stay and watch?
We do ask that parents refrain from spending time in the classroom, as we have limited space available and find having parents in the classroom often disrupts the focus of the class. However, parents are welcome to peak into the classroom and to hang out in our lobby within earshot and close proximity for as long as you feel is necessary for your child to feel comfortable.

12. Can someone else pick up my child for me?
Yes, but if that person is not on your family's account information, we need written permission from you before it happens. But don't fret! This is simple and can be done online in seconds! Fill out our Permission to Pick Up Form here, or find it under our "Student Resources" tab at the top of our website.

13. When do campers get to take their artwork home?
With the exception of the Pottery camps that have items created with ceramic clay that needs to dry and then be fired in a kiln, campers will be able to take all their artwork and creations home on the last day of camp.

For Pottery camps, it will take about 3 weeks to properly go through the process of drying the clay and then firing the items. We will send out a follow-up email letting you know when your items are finished and ready for pick-up at our studio. 


We hope these have been helpful! Have more questions that weren't answered here? Feel free to email us at MuseoArtAcademy@live.com or give us a call at 425-391-0244.
