Ages for the Summer Camps:

Our Summer Camp is designed this year for ages 5-13. We can consider younger or older students on a case by case basis. Please contact us at info@bretttapia.com to discuss with us and we'll see if any accomodations can be made.

Things to bring to the camp:

Artists should bring a packed lunch, a water bottle, and a jacket and a hat for outdoors. Also, clothes may get a little messy so dress them accordingly!

Outdoors / Playtime:

Yes! We make sure to get out, often lunching at the nearby St. Leo's church or the park, and regularly take hikes to the Rose Garden and also go to Dracena Quarry Park.

Cancellation and refund policy:

Cancellations and reschedules can be made up to 7 days before the camp start date. If cancellation is made less than 1 week before the start of camp we cannot offer a refund.

How do you incorporate learning with fun in the art projects?

We aim to keep a balance between many different facets of a program's exploration which can include Art history and slideshows, book research time, interaction with peers and peer art appreciation, outdoor time, brain growth activities, learning new skills and planning and executing artworks inspired by these amazing time periods and famous artists.
