VIBRANT KIDS STUDIO POLICY & TERMS AGREEMENT
WHAT TO EXPECT FOR CAMPS or ART SESSIONS per week
for MINI MAKERS ART SESSIONS artists will be guided with each art project and will have the help and assistance they need to complete their art piece. A wide variety of art mediums are used to create different types and techniques of art.
1. MINI MAKERS ART CLASSES are every FRIDAY AT 4:00-5:30 PM (1.5 hours) drop off and pick up.
2. CREATE & PLAY MINI CAMP MONDAYS are every MONDAY for 4 hour sessions during the summer. These art days are a one day mini camp where artist will be creating and exploring new art techniques and crafts they will take home. This is where the magic happens! Each Monday has a new theme or craft. Please see website for variety of CREATE AND PLAY options!
3. SUMMER CAMP:
Our Summer Art Camps are a great way to explore many different art mediums and techniques, using quality materials. Every camper will create their own artwork, with step-by-step instruction. Nothing is ever pre-drawn, so kids are truly learning different art methods, color mixing and blending, as well as improving observational drawing and painting skills.
Our hands-on exploration Summer Camps focus on one AMAZING theme per camp week while including cool projects for kids to explore and develop new skills. Each camp week will offer a variety of unique art projects and workshops that will build your little artists’ skills and new found talents.
Summer Camp Projects Include: Painting, Pastels, Watercolor, Drawing, Collage Making, Printmaking, Sculptures, Clay, Ceramics, Woodwork, Leather Work, Handling Basic Tools, Sewing, Paper Mache, STEM projects, Games & lots more!
After each fun filled week of learning and creating, campers will have a chance to display their new art for their family to observe. After the gallery students will take home their finished piece of fine art or craft that they will be proud to display!
- Camps are for ages 6-12. Different projects and themes each week.
Every week there will be a new camp theme. During each week your camper/s will be rotating through a variety of Art and Craft projects.

WHO CAN TAKE ART SUMMER CAMP?
Kids over the age of 6 up to 12 years old with artistic interests are happily welcomed! From absolute beginner to advanced, everyone is welcome, and everyone can grow their skills and love for art! Please do not register your child if they are not actually 6 yet. This is a firm age requirement.
HOW DO I REGISTER?
For camps and workshops, add to cart and follow the prompts to fill out registration forms and submit payment. Easy peasy! If you are having problems with an online payment, please reach out to the studio by phone call or email. We can process a payment by sending a personal invoice to your email or do an over the phone card transaction.
WHAT DOES MY STUDENT NEED TO BRING?
Nothing but a can do attitude! All supplies are provided, with the rare exception of some more elaborate projects. For Summer Camps your student/artist will need to bring a snack for snack time and a water bottle. The studio will provide extra water if needed to quench campers thirst.
BEHAVIOR POLICY
The number one rule at the studio is respect. Respect each other, the teacher, the materials and the studio. If student behavior steps over the line, a phone call or email will be made to the family. Disruptive and disrespectful behavior affects the learning of other students. If more than one discussion needs to be held, disruptive students will be asked to discontinue classes at the family’s expense (no refunds). A student that poses a threat to other students, the studio, or the teacher will be asked to leave immediately.
WHAT IF WE MISS A CLASS/WORKSHOP OR CAMP DAY?
Missed class days: Bummer...there are no refunds or prorated tuition for missed weekly camp days. We cannot offer a make-up day for those who are enrolled in our Summer Camp program.
Missed camp days: cannot be made up, and will not be prorated or refunded.
WHAT IF THE CLASS/WORKSHOP/CAMP IS CANCELLED?
If the instructor has to cancel a class due to illness or in the event of inclement weather, a make up class will be offered, or you may receive credit for a future class.
Workshops and camps that are cancelled will be refunded in full, or credit will be given.
CAN I DROP MY CHILD OFF EARLY OR PICK UP LATE?
There is a 10 minute "grace" period before and after class times. This window allows plenty of time for students to come in and get situated before class or clean up after. Please note the start and end times for classes/camps and avoid early drop off and late pick up without prior permission. Things happen, and exceptions can be made on occasion. If there is an ongoing early/late problem, you will be billed $1 per minute outside of the grace period window.
CAN MY STUDENT COME LATE OR LEAVE EARLY?
Vibrant Kids Studio classes are structured with guided lessons as well as work time. If a student arrives late or leaves early for a class, they may have trouble catching up or finishing that day's project. This can be distressing to most students, and disruptive to the class. Please try to minimize late arrivals and early departures when possible.
CAN I MEET THE INSTRUCTOR AND VISIT THE STUDIO BEFORE REGISTERING?
Absolutely! Just make an appointment as the studio is at a private residence. Appointments can be made on teaching days before or after class time. No weekend appointments.
CAN I STAY TO WATCH?
For the comfort of all of the students, and because of space limitations, all classes are drop off only. When parents linger, many students including those that aren't yours, become self conscious. If your child does not do well in a drop off setting, it may be best to wait until they are older. If your child requires an assistant for special needs, please discuss in advance of registration.
MY CHILD DOESN’T MEET THE AGE REQUIREMENT, BUT THEY ARE ADVANCED. CAN I SIGN UP ANYWAY?
No. There is a set age requirement for a multitude of reasons, including social and emotional readiness, just like there is for school or other activities. To be fair to all students and families that have been waiting to join until the required age, we cannot make any exceptions. If it becomes evident during any class, camp or workshop that a student was registered before the required age for that program, their enrollment will be terminated on the spot with no refund.
BY REGISTERING FOR A CLASS/CAMP AT THE STUDIO, YOU AGREE TO:
If your student was too sick to attend school, they are too sick to come to class. They must be fever free without the use of medication for 24 hrs before attending class.
Keep your student home if they have tested positive for Covid-19 or any other potential sickness.
Please notify the studio as soon as possible of your students absence.
• Bring your student to class no more than 5 to 10 minutes early (final cleaning/prepping will be happening before that time and the door will be locked).
