Summer Camp FAQ
how Long is a full day Camp

How long is the half day camp
9am - 12pm
Do half day campers need to pack a lunch?
No, only the full day campers need to pack a lunch but we will take a snack break around 10am for all campers.
What should my camper wear?
We recommend clothes you are fine getting paint on. Nothing is safe from paint in here, even the shoes will get paper mache on them. The school does have aprons. We also take breaks outside so light weight summer clothes are recommended and comfortable walking shoes.
What kind of snacks are provided?
We offer snacks like Goldfish, pretzels, Red Vines, Veggie Straws, animal crackers and popsicles on special occasions (more often for the July camps) and other treats!
Does my camper need painting experience for the july camps?
Prior painting experience is not required for this camp but we do encourage attending one of our regular oil painting classes to get associated with the materials. Students in the past have attended a single or multiple classes prior to the camp.
When is the final camp payment due?
Final payments are due on the FIRST DAY of camp.

Check or cash are preferred. Please make checks out to: Coco Artist Studio

Don't the July campers get hot being in the sun all day?
We do have some hot day but we always set up our home base in a shaded area. We have the students take mandatory water breaks to stay hydrated. Pack extra sunscreen, have frozen capris suns and popsicles in our camp cooler and partake in many water fights during the week! During camp sessions that are around Old Town kids are welcome to bring bathing suits and change of clothes if they would like to play in the fountains of Old Town Square or Oak Plaza during our lunch breaks.
REfund policy?
We require 2 weeks notice for cancellation of camp reservations. 10% administrative fee will be retained from your deposit.
What should the july campers bring to camp?
July camps can get hot and of course Colorado summer weather is unpredictable. Pack a hat or visor, sunscreen, water bottle and even a small personal umbrella. Those come in handy for sun and rain protection! Light and airy clothing preferred. We do not recommend jeans or any heavy clothing.
