Art Camp - FAQ's - PDF File

Can I walk in to register day of class?
If a session is not full, we will take “walk-ups” on a first come first serve basis.  However, we suggest early registration as many sessions and camps are sold out.

What are my payment options and where can I register?
You may register online with a credit card at www.beauxartsmiami.org under art camp.

Are there any discounts?
There is a 10% discount for Museum Members or more than one sibling attending the same session.

When do I get my confirmation for class?
You will receive an e-mail confirmation as soon as you complete the online registration form and process full payment.

Refunds?
There will be a $25 cancellation fee 7 days prior to the first class and no refunds after such date.

We do not give a refund for no-shows or children who miss class for any reason.

Are there make-up classes?
We do not have make-up classes, partial enrollment discounts or scholarships.

Will my child be repeating projects if he/she is registered for more than one session?
We have children that attend several sessions during the summer.  The curriculum for each session is different so a student will not repeat the same project. 

What does my child do all day?

If you arrive early, please wait with your child until a Beaux Arts staff member arrives to take them to the classroom area.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.  Failure to follow drop off procedures may result in child’s removal from art camp without a refund.

What is the age breakdown?
Our camp is offered to 5-12 year olds, in the Pavilion, children are separated by age, but they are in the same room. Every session differs with the breakdown of ages.  5-7 year olds are grouped together and 8-12 year olds are grouped together.  There are two art instructors (Jennifer Giroux is the head) and art assistants.  The ratio of art instructors/assistants to children is 1 to 6.  Both art instructors are teachers; volunteers may be past students of the camp, high school or college art students.

Where are the bathrooms?
Bathroom facilities are inside the Pavilion.

Snack and Lunch questions?

• During camp we offer a snack and drink.  Campers need to bring their own lunch.
• This is a NUT FREE PROGRAM.  No lunches or snacks with nuts will be allowed in the classroom.
• There is no early or after care offered.

What do we do when a tropical storm or hurricane is approaching?

For any tropical storm/hurricane that is approaching please be advised that we follow the Miami-Dade School advisory during for the school session. If during the summer a storm is approaching then we will follow the Hurricane Advisory for all Miami-Dade residents. Our website and hotline will be updated to give further details.
