We will switch the groups at lunchtime. Both groups will eat together.
What time can I pick up my child and where?
The pick-up will be in front of St Paul’s Cathedral at 4 pm. You will need to sign the “pick-up” sheet before leaving.
What to bring?
Please, provide lunch and snacks for every day of camp. There is no food available for purchase at the camp location.
Wear comfortable shoes, and bring sunscreen, a water bottle, and a hat for walking around the park..
For the Photography class: bring any cameras (DSLR, point, and shoot, or phone cameras),. The old iPad or old phone is perfectly fine for taking pictures at the Park.
Ceramics: Due to the short time for firing and glazing ceramics pieces, we will work with both “real” ceramic clay and “self-drying” clay in order to complete all projects by the end of the week. You can check our projects on our website.. Please, bring an extra T-shirt, or an apron for art-making. Clay is easily washable, but some paints are not.
Dance: We plan dance class twice a week and a possible performance for parents at the end of our camp with the awards for extra achievement on Friday at 3:45 pm
Museums visit: We will visit some of Balboa Park museums and Spanish village art center.
Playgrounds: We are using the playgrounds for photography class where kids find their inspiration for the photography assignments. Those are open and possible to visit.
Food: Most museum stores are open, if you allow your child to purchase a snack, let us know. You need to provide pocket money to your child. There will be awards at the end of the camp and we will ask you for permission to offer ice cream, a small snack, or drinks, all individually pre-packed to your child.
