Camp Introduction
The Arts Camp at Center for the Arts Eagle Rock is available to children who are between the
ages of 6 (or have completed Kindergarten) and 12 years old. Physical, social, and emotional
maturity varies for each child, so campers will be grouped according to teacher/assistant
assignment. This allows us to provide activities suited to the entire group. Friend preferences will
be taken into account, but there are no guarantees that friend groups will be assigned together.
Group changes can be made at any time by teachers to better serve the group’s art experience.
Our three classes are Art, Pioneering, and Movement. In Art, campers will sculpt, paint, draw, and
collaborate, while learning about a variety of historical art movements and building skills and
artmaking techniques. In Pioneering, campers will participate in gardening, fort-building and its
histories, and cooking projects. In Movement, campers will collaborate to create, practice, and
present a performance piece using playwriting, costuming, theatre techniques, and interpretive
movement.
Registration Policies
Parents may enroll their child(ren) from the beginning of registration (April 1, 2015), until all

Check-in / Check-out
Your child’s safety is our top priority here at Center for the Arts Eagle Rock. Our policies
regarding drop off and pick up by a designated parent or caregiver whose name is on file are not
subject to change. If there are extenuating circumstances and an alternate is designated, please
communicate with the Director of Education to make necessary arrangements prior to the start
date of camp so that these arrangements can be documented in your child's camp file. To gain the full, enriching experience of our camp, it is important that campers arrive no later than
9:00 am daily. Campers may arrive as early as 8:30 am. The daily activities planned are
scheduled to take place in three parts. All of our curricula is cumulative, so it is imperative that the
camper be punctual. A late pick-up fee will be charged to parents who do not pick up their child
on time. The fees for late pick-up are as follows:
(5:31 - 5:40) 1-10 minutes late – $10.00 fee
(5:41 - 5:50) 11-20 minutes late - $20.00 fee
(5:51 - 6:00) 21-30 minutes late - $30.00 fee
All fees are due and payable before the child will be allowed back to Camp. Parents should drop
their children off at the front desk at the Center for the Arts Eagle Rock and check their child into
camp. To pick their child up, the parent, guardian or authorized person must present valid
identification before the child will be released. The authorized person must be on the camper
enrollment form, or the parent/guardian must write the authorized person’s information on the
sign-in form and notify the Camp Director via email ([email protected]).
The parent or guardian must walk into Center for the Arts Eagle Rock to pick-up their child. The
camp faculty is not authorized to escort any child to a parent waiting outside.

Camper Illnesses
In the event the camper becomes ill, the Director of Education will notify the parent or guardian
through a phone call. There are circumstances when the Director of Education and Camp
Teachers will not allow the camper to further attend camp for the week or the camper must be
picked up early from camp. No refund will be offered due to camper illness. These instances will
include: a camper who has two or more episodes of diarrhea, a camper who is running a fever of
100 degrees or more, a camper who has thrown up or the combination of any of the above
symptoms. If your child is suffering from any of these or other symptoms (such as pink eye or
other contagious illnesses), please call the camp to alert the staff and do not bring the child to
camp that day. For minor accidents/illnesses, the camp staff will provide appropriate basic first
aid (cleaning and bandaging of minor cuts/scratches) and provide the parent/guardian with a
copy of the accident/injury report form. If a camper is feeling slightly ill, Camp Teachers will
provide a rest area for the camper and monitor the camper until they feel like either rejoining
activities or calling their parent for early pickup.
Camper Emergencies
For camper emergencies, the Director of Education or Camp Teacher (only in the event that the
Director of Education is unavailable) will notify the parent or guardian of the situation. If the
parent/guardian is unavailable or cannot be reached, the Emergency Contact will be notified. If
the Emergency Contact is unavailable and/or if it is deemed appropriate by the Director of
Education and Executive Director, qualified medical professionals will be contacted, including but
not limited to your child’s primary care physician and/or emergency medical services. If a child is
transported by emergency medical services, the authorized emergency contact will be
immediately notified. In the event emergency medical treatment is necessary, the physician is
authorized to provide necessary medical care as needed unless otherwise indicated on the child’s
Health History Form.
If the parent or guardian has an emergency and needs to contact their child or a camp staff
member, the parent/guardian should contact the Director of Education at 323-226-1617 x 221 or
the General Info Line, 323-226-1617 x 223.
Camper Medication
If a camper is required to take any form of medication during the day, the Health History section
on the registration form should contain the information. Each teacher and teaching assistant will
have access to a copy of the registration form. The parent/guardian of the camper should
provide the Director of Education with the medication in a clearly labeled container with exact
directions for administration. Asthma inhalers and injectable medication must be provided by the
parent/guardian and will be under the direct supervision of the Camp Teachers. Campers will
self-administer inhalers, prescription medication, and apply sunscreen and bug spray when
needed unless the parent has made a prior arrangement with the Director of Education. For
safety reasons, campers may not maintain possession of their medication while in camp; the
Director of Education will hold the medication in the CFAER office.

Behavioral, Social, or Emotional Situations

with a camper. The methods this camp uses are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Speak individually with the camper(s) involved.
Mediate the situation between the camper(s) involved.
Remove the camper(s) from the activity for a short period of time (to cool off).
Camper(s) meet with the Director of Education to resolve conflict
All disciplinary action taken will be filled out in an Incident Report form. If any child accrues
more than three Incident Reports in the same week, the parent/guardian will notified. If the
issue persists during the week, under extreme conditions, the parent will be called to pick the
child up early from camp. We ask that the parent/guardian speak with the child to better
understand the cause of the issue as well as help the child come to a solution. If a child is
sent home early from camp there will be no refund of enrollment fees for the camper. If a child
threatens the safety or well being of other campers or staff, the child will not be allowed to
return to Art Camp.
