ALL AGES - ALL ARTS - ALL SUMMER

HOW IT WORKS

Before and after care are available between 8am – 9am and 3:30 pm – 5:30pm.  The HCA Staff are on hand to greet all early comers.

The programs begin at 9am.  All students meet the morning instructors in the HCA Recital Hall where they get ready for their first two classes.  There is a morning snack time that follows these first activities. 

After break time, students enjoy two more classes before its lunchtime!  All students either eat together with their supervisors in the air conditioned Recital Hall for lunch or, on nice days (and with written permission granted at the beginning of the camp), the students and supervisors walk over to the local park area to eat their lunch and enjoy the outdoors.

Following lunch, students meet the next instructors and have a fun filled afternoon. 
At the end of the day, all students meet in the Recital Hall, where parents meet their child’s instructor and sign them out before leaving the building.

WHAT TO BRING TO CAMP

Please prepare your camper appropriately everyday for the weather, including proper dress and sun protection. While the students spend their time indoors, the camp rooms are appropriately air conditioned. Ensure that your child has a healthy, nut-free lunch, and two snacks.  Please pack extra drinks.
