What to Bring • • • •
Optional: smock, apron, or old t-shirt for art activities. A towel and change of clothes for “Water Fun Thursdays” Please label, preferably with a permanent marker, all items sent to camp with your camper’s name. We will keep items in the lost and found in room 16, however we will not be held responsible for lost items. Media devices, toys, and books are allowed ONLY during the designated time permitted by the instructor. Spruill is not responsible for any items lost, stolen, or broken. Campers are not permitted to read, watch, or listen to inappropriate content during camp. NO PHONES allowed in camps for students ages 5-10.
Lunch & Snacks • Please send your camper with at least two snacks and a hearty lunch to ensure they are fueled for the day!
When you plan your child’s lunch, please keep in mind that there are no microwaves at camp. Following our commitment to the environment, we ask campers to bring food and drinks in reusable containers (lunchbox, water bottle, etc.) which are clearly labeled with their name. Leftover food will go back home. Choose an insulated lunch bag with an ice pack to keep lunches and snacks fresh all day. Freeze juice boxes or water bottles the night before- the drink stays cool and refreshing and the frozen container acts like an ice pack! Send a refillable water bottle and we will remind your child to drink and fill it up during the day. • Please note: Campers are NOT ALLOWED to share food under any circumstances. This is to keep our campers with food allergies safe.
What to Wear • •
Comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting messy. Closed toed shoes. NO FLIP FLOPS, SANDALS, OR SNEAKERS WITH WHEELS.
Lost & Found The lost and found can be located in room 16. Camp staff is available to assist. All items not picked up within one week from the end of the registered camp week will be discarded.
Grouping & Instructor Requests • •
Grouping requests are submitted with registration online. Friends must list one another and be within a one (1) year age range. We do not guarantee placement. We do not accommodate camper requests for specific instructors.
Special Needs As a community art center, unfortunately, we do not have the resources or support staff available to provide the necessary services to campers with special needs. Atlanta Parent Magazine has a listing of camps in the Atlanta area and beyond for children with special needs, for more information, please visit: https://www.atlantaparent.com/directory/wpbdp_category/special-needs-camps/ 5
