Campers must be signed in and out daily (ID may be required).

Parking is available in any open spot in front of the building for drop-off and pick-up. For everyone’s safety, please park your vehicle fully before letting your child out to walk into the studio. Please walk your camper inside for check-in.

At this time, we do not offer extended care outside of camp hours. During the time between camps, our staff is eating a quick lunch and setting up for the afternoon camp, at this time we cannot keep campers during the break.

Our camps work best for kids who are 5 years old at the camp start date AND currently enrolled in kindergarten (including homeschool). For summer children should be 5 years old at the start of the camp date AND entering kindergarten in the fall (including in a homeschool setting).

Our camps are drop-off programs (3.5 hours) in a busy, hands-on maker studio. It helps when kids are at a stage where their independence is growing. Here are a few “good signs” to keep in mind as you decide if camp is the right fit right now:

• They can separate from a caregiver and settle in with little or gentle support
  
  

• They can use the restroom independently (wiping, pulling up clothing, washing hands) and can tell a teacher they need to go before it becomes urgent
  
  

• They can follow simple directions and move with the group during transitions
  
  

• They can open and close snack/lunch containers with minimal help
  
  

• They’re ready to try basic tools and materials with guidance (scissors, glue, tape, hole punch, stapler, paint tools, low-temp hot glue gun and simple hand tools as appropriate)
  
  

• They can practice safe hands and respect personal space in a shared studio
  
  

• They can participate in a group (listening, taking turns, sharing materials)
  
  

• They can help with clean-up and care for shared supplies
  
  

If you’re unsure, we’re happy to help you think it through—every kid develops at their own pace, and we want camp to feel like a confident “yes” for your maker.

We love supporting lots of different learners. If your child may need accommodations (sensory support, extra transitions help, specialized seating, etc.), please add additional information to the section “Tell us about your maker” so we can plan together and set them up for success.

ArtWork is a hands-on maker space where creativity and curiosity are serious work. In our space makers will have:

• Dedicated making areas + classroom-style spaces

• Kid-safe tools and materials with clear routines

• A clean, calm setup that supports focus, confidence, and independence

• Accessibility matters to us—if your child has mobility or sensory needs, please reach out so we can plan well.

• 8:20–8:40(12:50-1:10) Drop-off + check-in
  Kids settle in with free-drawing, planning, and tinkering toys

• 8:40–9:00 ( 1:10-1:30) Project intro + demos

• 9:00–10:00 (1:30-2:30pm) Making time (skill-building + project work)

• 10:00-10:15 (2:30-2:45) Snack break

• 10:15–11:30 (2:45- 4:00) Making time (deep work + choices + collaboration)

• 11:30-11:50 (4:00–4:50) Clean-up + reflection

• 11:50-12:00 (4:50–5:00 ) Pick-up

To keep groups consistent and projects doable, we do not have drop-in options during summer camps. Camp registration is for the full four days. However, since camps run Monday through Thursday, Fridays will be open for drop in open make.

Campers should bring:

• A full water bottle

• Optional: Preferred Snack

• Clothing for mess

Allergy note: Please list allergies in Sawyer. If your child has severe allergies, email us so we can plan supports and safe routines.

We always say: dress for mess. Making is joyful—and sometimes messy.

• Clothes you don’t mind getting messy

• Closed-toe shoes are required to protect little toes in our maker studio—there may be dropped tools, splashes, and tiny pieces on the floor.
  

At ArtWork, we intentionally run multi-age maker groups, inspired by Montessori-style mixed-age communities. It creates a natural studio rhythm: younger makers learn by watching and trying, and older makers grow through leadership, patience, and helping others.

Why it works:

• Kids work at their own pace (projects have easy-entry + extra-challenge options)

• Peer learning happens naturally—modeling, mentoring, and encouragement

• It builds confidence, belonging, kindness, and collaboration in a real community setting

We want to offer makers the opportunity to learn from mistakes—and that includes practicing how to handle conflict. Our staff uses calm, clear expectations and quick coaching to help kids reset, use kind words, and solve problems respectfully.

Because safety comes first at ArtWork, aggressive, threatening, bullying, or unsafe behavior is not tolerated. If a camper’s actions put themselves or others at risk, we may call for early pick-up if needed, and/or dismissal from camp (without refund).

If your child has unique needs, diagnoses, or circumstances, please reach out. Our best camps happen when we partner with families—communication and collaboration are key.

Our Camper-to-staff ratio is 10:1, so kids get close supervision, plenty of support, and a safe, well-run maker studio.

Your child’s safety matters deeply to us.

• Staff are background-checked and trained

• Staff are CPR/First Aid certified (as applicable to your program)

• Staff are often teachers and/or have experience working with children

• Camp supervision is structured with clear routines and boundaries

• Staff are trained to avoid one-on-one situations with campers; if individual support is needed, it happens in an open, observable space with others nearby.

Yes—ArtWork does have limited funds available for financial assistance on a first come first serve instance. If cost is a barrier, please email our team at info@artworklbk.com

We know life happens—vacations, illnesses, and busy family schedules come up. If you miss a day, we’ll do our best to help your maker feel caught up or even send supplies home. Because camp tuition reserves your child’s spot and supplies for the full session, so we’re not able to offer make-up days, refunds, credits, or prorated rates for missed days.

• Tuition: $195–$220 per 4-day (Mon–Thurs) half-day session (morning or afternoon).

• Sibling discount: When registering siblings receive a 10% discount for the first sibling and 5% for additional siblings in the same household.

• Before April 30th:  Full refund minus a $30 administrative fee per session

On/after May 1: Tuition is non-refundable unless your spot is filled from the waitlist

We are happy to make camp changes depending on availability. 

• Before April 30th: Camp changes are free

• On/after May 1:  $20per session change fee

ArtWork aims to create a space to spark creativity and build new skills while giving children opportunities to take ownership and build confidence through hands-on builds.  Makers will bring home a variety of projects based on their camp’s theme and materials. 

No two makes are the same and will vary based on age and skill. Just remember we focus on the process over perfection. We want makers to leave proud that what they make is their own!
