guidelines 1. Arts Umbrella programs can be an intensive learning experience. As there is no play-activity component to Arts Umbrella programs, it can be challenging for very young artists to participate for an entire day. Please consider your child’s needs and comfort level before registering for a full day of classes. 2. For Spring Break Programs: Children aged 3–4 years must have experience being in a classroom setting without a parent/guardian present. 3. If you register your child for the same classes in Session 1 and Session 2, they may encounter the same activities. 4. Full day participants are responsible for their own, peanut-free lunches and snacks. Participants 13 years and older will not be supervised during lunch break. 5. For safety reasons, participants require a basic understanding of the English language. 6. Information in this brochure is considered correct at time of printing, and may be subject to change. Please refer to www.artsumbrella.com for the most up-to-date information.
