COMMUNITY NORMS AND BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS:

Art Camp 504 is a safe and welcoming environment where students are free to explore their creative passions. While we foster a fun atmosphere and build in recreational activities, we also expect students to be focused during workshop time, and kind and respectful to their peers and teachers. We reserve the right to remove students from the program if they engage in violent behavior (verbal or physical) or cause excessive disruption.

DOGS AT ART CAMP:

Our Art Camp pups are a big part of our community. Ziggy Stardust and Princess Supernova, Japanese Chins, will be at the Tigermen Den throughout the season, they are the Camp Director Sam’s dogs. We also have occasional visits from Pop Tart and Remy, also Japanese Chins. Sometimes Freddie will visit, she is the Tigermen Den owner’s dog and has been coming to camp for years. She is the sweetest pit bull and is a trained service dog. Mama visits when Mr. Fin is teaching, she is the grandmother of Art Camp 504 and likes to sit peacefully next to the kids.
