Summer Camps
Sweetwater Center for the Arts offers weekly, half-day and full-day summer camps for ages 3-17 in the visual, performing, culinary and literary arts. Every week is a new adventure as children and teens explore various themes and art forms. Summer camps run from June 14-August 13, 2010. On the first day of camp, please go to the upstairs lobby for camp check-in.
All campers must have a Permission Form/Medical Waiver on file before they may participate in camp activities. These forms will be mailed to campers prior to the camp start date.
If you register your child for one morning camp and one afternoon camp in the same week, you may sign up for the supervised lunch ($10/day; lunch is not included) at the time of registration. Camp participants (ages 4-15) who are not accompanied by an adult and wish to stay in the building between camps must sign up for the supervised lunch. Supervision is provided by a Sweetwater instructor or staff member.
Supervised lunch registration must be made at least two business days prior to the camp start date in order for arrangements to be made. Please contact the Education Director for questions regarding the supervised lunches.
Due to food allergies, Sweetwater does not provide snacks or lunch. Snack breaks will be taken during both morning and afternoon camps, so parents should provide a snack, drink or lunch for their children. Snacks and drinks may also be purchased in the Sweetwater office.
