5. Who are the AM Art Camp & the PM Afternoon Adventure instructors?

The AM Art Camp leader is ArtzHub Artist & Founder is me, Kim McCullough. :-) I have several camp assistants that I work with to provide your child with our signature ArtzHub experience. My camp assistants are older teens and adults - all of which have been part of ArtzHub for many years either as a student or the parent of a student! Additionally, we often have teen volunteers and tween mentors at camp as well as a group of campers ages 5-11 so each date is an amazing tapestry of creative kids working together in a supportive, screen free environment free from competition and judgment.

The PM Afternoon Adventure Camp Leader is CUMC’s Afterschool Director Tristan Bland and his assistant is Emily Hope. Family Pastor Lee Barnes oversees the Afterschool and TWD Camps and is often around to facilitate, as needed. They are all caring, skilled and friendly. Your child can expect to have fun and feel safe with the PM Camp staff. You can learn more about them on our TWD Camp Partners page.

6. Do you offer a Full Day Camp Discount?

Yes, you can sign up using the Full Day Camp sign up page to select individual dates, 9:00-5:00. Using this sign up option gives your our best deal!

7. Do you offer Extended Care?

Yes, we now offer Before Camp Care from 8:00-8:45 and After Camp Care from 5:15-6:00. These services are optional and may be added on to extend the camp day, as needed.

8. What kind of activities will they do?

Morning ArtzHub Art Camps - Art campers enjoy learning a variety of methods and techniques, step-by-step, with structured guidance that also encourages individual interpretation. We draw, paint, sculpt and craft our way through each week’s fun theme, creating works of art that will treasured for years to come. We have the whole week so there’s plenty of time for campers to finish their artwork at a relaxed pace. Check out the Happy Camper Gallery on the main TWD Camp page. Want more info? Contact Kim at 919-401-6001 or ArtzHubNC@gmail.com.

ArtzHub Camp Partner Camps - TBA

9. How can ages 5-11 be in one group?

The 5-11 age range is wide to allow siblings and friends to participate together. Most ArtzHub camps are visual in nature and each child is encouraged to participate at his/her own level. We all offer structured guidance that supports children as much as they need. More advanced participants are encouraged to flex their creative muscles to participate at a level that is satisfying to them.

10. Do you separate the groups by age?

ArtzHub camps take place in a large classroom so that campers can be divided into to two groups if enrollment exceeds our 12:1 ratio. If the campers are divided into two groups, generally we try to separate them by age (K-2 and 3-5) but kids that want to be together are welcome to stay together. Each group does an activity led by an instructor. After a mid-camp break, the groups switch and work with the other instructor, so that everyone does both activities during a camp day. We’re all in the same large classroom, even when there are two groups.

11. Can my 12-14 year old participate as a regular camper?

Yes. This would be an opportunity for him/her to display mentorship qualities in order to join us as a mentor or volunteer in the future.

12. What do mentors do?

Mentors are not responsible for discipline, but they do provide an extra set of eyes/ears during camp hours. Mentors must be ready, willing and able to help us maintain the safety of all campers, at all times. There are two levels of Mentors.

1st Summer Mentors, ages 12-14, are expected to enhance the overall experience of campers by modeling positive behavior, at all times, lending a hand as needed. They show awareness of what is happening around them and are eager to participate in making the camp run smoothly.
Returning Mentors, ages 13-14, do what 1st Summer Mentors do, but also help by handing out materials, letting us know if younger campers need help, offering to show a new camper where the bathroom is etc. They put other campers before themselves and proactively contribute to the camp, even if they do not finish their own projects.

13. What do volunteers do?

In addition to the responsibilities expected of our mentors, volunteers are proactive young adults that recognize what needs to be done. They show maturity, initiative and gumption by stepping in to help younger campers, if and when needed. They actively and mindfully contribute to the overall safety and success of the camp.

14. What kind of clothing is appropriate for camp?

Dress to mess! Weather appropriate clothing is always important. We spend some time each day outside on the playground so it is advisable for campers to come prepared with sunblock and insect repellent, as needed.

15. What is the camper/instructor ratio?

ArtzHub - 12:1 (twelve campers - 1 instructor)

CUMC - “Safer Sanctuary” policy - 5:2 (five campers - 2 unrelated adults)

16. What is the behavioral expectation?

For ALL ArtzHub camps, morning and afternoon, all rules are safety oriented. All behavioral expectations are respect oriented.

During any teaching time, we expect each individual to behave respectfully by taking directions, staying on task and accepting the guidance of the instructors and volunteers.

We expect each individual to refrain from behaviors that abuse property of the instructor or the host facility.

During any non-teaching time (playground, snack, bathroom or water fountain or during before or after care time) we expect each individual to respect the rules of the host facility as well as the rules of ArtzHub/Meadowlark Music.

In all situations, at all times, we require each individual to refrain from physical aggression or verbal bullying. It will not be tolerated.

Behavior that does not meet these basic standards will be brought to the attention of the parent and may result in dismissal with no credit, refund or make up day at the sole discretion of Kim/ ArtzHub, if unacceptable behavior continues.

17. Is this camp an appropriate form of therapy?

All ArtzHub camps are therapeutic in nature but we are not certified to address behaviors or conditions (diagnosed or un-diagnosed) that preclude a positive outcome.

18. What should my child bring to camp?

For both the morning and afternoon camps -

Water Bottle, Plenty Of Food (See #1 for snack/lunch times.)

Book For Quiet Times (Recommended Not Required)

Insect Repellent, Sunscreen (As Needed)

Please make sure EVERYTHING your child brings to camp is labeled with his/her name.

19. What should my child leave at home?

Electronics and toys should stay at home or at least remain in the car.

No phones or devices (Apple Watches, etc.) may be used at camp, unless required for a verified medical condition.

20. Do you allow food sharing?

No food sharing. Out of respect for special dietary requirements, food allergies and a desire to avoid contamination, we do not allow campers to share food. Even if your children do so at home, they may not share food at camp.

21. What if my child has a life-threatening food allergy?

If your child has a life-threatening food allergy, we will ban the food your child is allergic to at camp. Also, before camp, we will review with you the exact step-by-step procedures you want us to follow in the event of an emergency.

22. what if I have a question that is not answered here?

Contact Kim! :-)
