and include a short break for a snack. Full-day camps meet for 7 hours each day

(from 9 am – 4 pm, unless otherwise noted) and include an hour-long supervised

break for lunch. Parents should provide snacks and lunches. One teaching artist

and one teaching assistant lead each camp. New camps begin each week,

June 16 through August 18.

Fee for half-day camps: $170 (NCC members $160)*Fee for full-day camps: $305 (NCC members $285)**Unless otherwise noted, member rate applies only to children registered as members.

Please notify us 3 weeks in advance if your child has special dietary issues that would af-fect the other campers and we will do our best to notify other parents of the issue.

What to Wear and Bring Kids may get messy, so make sure your child wears appropriate clothing and footwear (sneakers are best; no open-toed shoes.) For all camps, kids must bring a reusable tote to hold finished projects. We recommend canvas or nylon, roughly the size of a grocery bag. For wheel classes, we suggest, but do not require: a one-quart bucket (such as a yogurt container) and an old towel.

Completed Projects Completed projects may be picked up one week after your camp ends; we will NOT call you when they are ready. We strongly recommend that you bring your child with you to help identify what s/he made. Projects left more than 4 weeks after the camp ends will be discarded. If you cannot pick up your child’s projects by this date, please make arrangements for someone else to pick them up.
