Registration Information — Please Read Carefully Fee for half-day camps: $185 Fee for full-day camps: $335 Fee for virtual camps: $175 NCC members receive 5% discount on all camps* *Unless otherwise noted, member rate applies only to children registered as members.

Register online or by phone beginning at 10 am on February 2, at www.northernclaycenter.org, or 612.339.8007.

Age and Ability Restrictions We work closely with instructors to develop optimal age ranges and ability levels for each class. At the time their camp begins, children must have reached the minimum age and ability level indicated. In order to ensure the success of our classes, we ask that you observe these restrictions when registering your children for camps. NCC makes NO exceptions to the ages or ability levels indicated in the descriptions.

When registering online, if you register your child for the wrong age group, the registration will be canceled and we will contact you via email or phone to secure your second choice. If you have questions regarding the age ranges for a camp, please call Northern Clay Center at 612.339.8007 to register.

Drop-off / Pick-up Check-in will take place at the Sales Gallery desk on day one. Please enter through the main entrance facing Franklin Avenue. All other drop-offs and pick-ups will take place through the Teaching Studios door located on the west side of our building. Please be punctual with all drop-offs and pick-ups; do not drop off campers more than 5 minutes before the start of their camp. NCC does not provide day care or supervision before or after camps. There is free parking on the west side of our building. A parent, guardian, or pre-approved adult must be present to pick up a camper at the end of each day. At no time will any camper be permitted to leave NCC without supervision.

Lunch Caregivers must provide supervision from noon to 1 pm for children registered in separate morning and afternoon camps or pay a $25 fee for NCC to provide supervision during the lunch hour. This option is available only to children registered for morning and afternoon camps during the same week. Caregivers must provide the campers with their lunch.

NCC will provide supervision during lunch for full-day classes at no additional cost.

Snack Break Campers take a short break every day, so please pack a snack for your child and label the bag with his/her name.

Caregivers need to supply lunches and snacks for children in full-day classes. Please note: NCC’s facility is NOT peanut free. Please notify us three weeks in advance if your child has special dietary issues that would affect the other campers. We will do our best to notify other parents of the issue.

What to Wear and Bring Kids may get messy, so make sure your child wears appropriate clothing and footwear (sneakers are best; no open-toed shoes.)

For all camps, kids must bring a reusable bag to hold finished projects. We recommend canvas or nylon, roughly the size of a grocery bag. For wheel classes, we suggest, but do not require, a one-quart bucket (such as a yogurt container) and an old towel.

Completed Projects Completed projects may be picked up one week after your camp ends; we will NOT call you when they are ready.

We strongly recommend that you bring your child with you to help identify what s/he made. Projects left more than 18 —

four weeks after the camp ends will be discarded. If you cannot pick up your child’s projects by this date, please make arrangements for someone else to pick them up.

Product Output Expectations Your children will be encouraged to create several pieces of clay art during class. You can anticipate your child having at least four completed works. Please make note: not all camps result in the same number of objects for campers to take home. Several camps are focused on ideas of production, while others are more experiential in nature, or require a longer investment of time and energy into more complicated wares and objects. Regardless of output, ALL of our camps aim to create a positive and memorable experience for your camper.

Instructors and Class Content Students can expect to make new work Monday through Thursday and spend Friday glazing. By the very nature of the material and the short duration of these camps, some projects will not be glaze fired, but “once-fired” instead, rendering them decorative in nature and not for use to consume food or beverages. Class periods will include time for cleanup, an integral part of the process. Class descriptions are subject to change depending on ability levels of participating students.

Other Information Please Note: Due to the very nature of clay and the firing process, NCC cannot be responsible for any damage to work caused by construction and glazing processes or firing.

Scholarships NCC has a small number of partial scholarships for children, awarded on a need basis. Please call 612.339.8007 for an application form. Applications can also be downloaded from our website at www.northernclaycenter.org.

Special Needs Signed interpretation is available for any camp. Please call the Center to request an interpreter at least three weeks in advance. NCC’s building is wheelchair accessible and is equipped with a wheelchair accessible potter’s wheel. The information in this brochure is available in large-print format upon request. To contact us via the Minnesota Relay Service, please call 1.800.627.3529.

Registration Information Tuition must be paid in full to hold your reservation. NCC will make absolutely no exceptions to age ranges indicated in camp descriptions.

To register: Register for your child’s class online or call NCC during business hours, 10 am - 5 pm, 7 days a week at 612.339.8007. Payment may be made by cash, check, and all major credit cards.

NCC will send confirmation of registration two weeks prior to the start of camp. If there is insufficient enrollment, we may cancel the camp, notify registered students and refund all payments. This cancellation may occur at the very last minute.

Refunds: 100% of tuition (less a $15 processing fee) will be refunded if a student elects to drop or transfer a class no later than one week (7 days) before the day of the first camp meeting. A $15 processing fee will be charged if a student transfers from one camp to another. No refunds or transfers will be given with less than one week’s notice.

Tuition is not prorated. There are no make-up sessions.
