Summer Art Camp Update
Hello Camp Parents!
First, thank you for your patience. I know this has been a struggle for you with new homeschooling, e-learning, and working/ maintaining through this time. We have been conceptualizing what camp could look like for you and your children. I have reached out to parents for input and thoughts on what you may be interested in and comfortable with for the summer months. We understand there are childcare needs for those returning to work, financial concerns, technological worries, zoom burnout, as well as the ongoing health watch and protection. We have developed a plan that we would like you to consider.
June 1st - 19th ART AND HISTORY Camps:
If you have signed up for Lampworking - this is a 4 person middle/ high school camp. We will still be hosting these at SAA as scheduled. Students will be asked to follow the state guidelines on masks, washing hands and social distancing.
If you have signed up for Photography, Photoshop, or 3D Printed Game Pieces - You will be offered virtual online classes. You will need the software to participate in this class, we can provide links for 3d printing. Photoshop camp will need to have Photoshop on your home computer. If you have questions, please reach out to us.
If you are enrolled in any other camp during this time frame of June 1st - 19th, we are canceling these camps and offering a 100% refund. We are hoping to provide August replacement dates for these canceled camps, if state restrictions are lifted. You will be given first choice of these timeslots to re-enroll, if you wish.
ART KITS: TAKE-AND-MAKE
Alternatively, we will be providing art kits for each age group that may be purchased on our website throughout the summer. These kits will take projects from each of the camps and include all of the materials/ supplies, instructions, and how-to video links/ resource information. They will be sold at $10 - $15 per kit. ANYONE may purchase these kits throughout the summer, even if you did not register for a camp. These will be available for pick-up at the SAA campus (700 N. 4th Street). These are a great take-and-make option for the entire summer. They are like a Kiwi Subscription Box, only SAA's kits will be less expensive, originally designed and made locally. They will be available for purchase June 1st.
June 22nd - July 31st Camps:
If you have enrolled in a camp during the time frame of June 22nd - July 31st, we are hoping to continue with our programming as it had been scheduled. These camps will be hosted inside SAA following state and federal health regulations, camp sizes will remain small and spread out throughout the building. If regulations change by this time, we will offer the same refund options to you as we have to the campers enrolled in the first weeks of June. We will continually be in touch as we refine our reopening process.
CANCELLATION INFORMATION:
We understand your concerns in regard to attendance, and we want you to make the right decision for your circumstances. If you choose to not participate in a camp that is running, we will offer you 95% refund. If you decide that you would like to make your camp registration fee a donation instead of attending, we will send you a receipt letter as having made a fully tax-deductible donation. The stimulus plan passed allows donations of $300 or less to be reported on your taxes as a tax break, even if you do not itemize. That is good for you, and for us!
We hope these options work for you. We are available via email to answer any questions or concerns you may have. I hope you understand we are trying to give the best option and at the same time trying to be flexible to the new requirements of our services as they develop. We appreciate your support and hope you all are doing well!
SAA Members (Family/Dual Level +) can begin registering at 9 AM on March 2nd, 2020.
Non-Member Registration begins at 9AM on March 5th, 2020.
