Summer Clay Camps 2022

2022

Clay Camps

June 13 – August 19 | Ages 6 & up

Join Northern Clay Center for a fabulous and fun summertime clay adventure!

Campers will expand their imaginations while accomplishing LASTING FEATS OF CLAY. Whether working with sculpture, tiles, or wheel-thrown pottery, students will learn to work INDEPENDENTLY AND COLLABORATIVELY in a small class setting with plenty of individual instruction. Camps are offered in a variety of themes (birds or dinosaurs, serving platters or ice cream dishes, giant vases or tiny garden houses) and incorporate instruction for a variety of clay techniques— leaving PLENTY OF ROOM FOR EXPLORATION and decoration.

Half-day camps meet for three hours each day (from 9 am – 12 pm, or 1 – 4 pm) and include a short break for snacks provided by parents and caregivers. Half-day camps do not include lunch. Full-day camps meet for 7 hours each day (from 9 am – 4 pm unless otherwise noted) and include an hour-long supervised break for lunch and non-clay activities. Parents should provide snacks and lunches for full-day campers. Each camp is led by a teaching artist; on average one additional teaching assistant is present for each camp. New camps begin each Monday, June 13 through August 15.

As vaccinations for youth receive full FDA approval, NCC will require campers to provide proof of vaccination or an exemption with proof of a negative COVID-19 test leading up to their NCC activity on-site. Proof of full COVID-19 vaccination IS REQUIRED for campers attending the 5 Centers camps.

Clay camp requirements will continue to be adapted to meet the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and MDH (Minnesota Department of Health) public health recommendations at the time. Our safety measures will include lowered camp capacities to facilitate distancing, required face coverings, and thorough cleaning strategies. Please see our website for our latest safety protocols, vaccination requirements, and information.

Registration Information — Please Read Carefully Fee for half-day camps: $190 Fee for full-day camps: $350 NCC members receive 5% discount on all camps* *Unless otherwise noted, member rate applies only to children registered as members.

Registration begins 10 am, Tuesday, February 1, 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.

If you register your child for an age group they have not met, the registration will be canceled and we will contact you via email or phone to find an appropriate option. If you have questions regarding the age ranges for a camp, please call Northern Clay Center at 612.339.8007.

Logistical Information Drop-off / Pick-up: Check-in will take place in the Teaching Studios on the first day of camp. Please enter through the Teaching Studios door located on the west side of the building. Drop-offs and pick-ups will also take place through this entrance each day. 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 $25.00 fee for NCC to provide supervision during the lunch hour. This option is available only to children registered for both morning and afternoon camps during the same week. Caregivers must provide 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 their 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 and we will do our best to notify other parents of the issue. Campers may visit Merwyn Triangle Park on their snack breaks as a class with adult supervision.

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.

Camper Projects

18 —

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.

Please note: due to the nature of clay and the firing process, NCC cannot be responsible for any damage to work caused by poor construction or the firing or glazing processes.

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.

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 they made.

Projects left more than 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.

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 or visit NCC during business hours, Mon. – Fri., 10 am – 5 pm.

You may also send the registration form with your check or credit card number and expiration date for the full fee to: Northern Clay Center, ATTN: Clay Camp, 2424 Franklin Avenue East, Minneapolis, MN 55406. Make checks payable to Northern Clay Center.

NCC will send confirmation of registration two weeks prior to the start of camp. If there is insufficient enrollment, we will 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.

Other Information Scholarships: NCC has a small number of partial scholarships for children, awarded on a need basis. Please call 612.339.8007 x309 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.
