A. Lunch, snack, water and sunscreen. If your child is very young, consider sending a change of clothes in case of accidents.
Q. What should my child wear to camp?
A. Play clothes. Clothes that can get dirty! Performing arts campers need to wear clothing and shoes they can dance in.
Q. Does my child need to bring his/her own art supplies to camp?
A. SFArtsED artists supply the materials and art supplies for all sessions.

Q. My child has special medical needs.
A. Please call us to discuss your child’s needs prior to the start of camp. The more information we have in advance, the better. Make sure to fill out our emergency forms and attach any special instructions to our forms.
Q. What is your process for awarding scholarships?
A. Scholarships are merit based. We award performing arts scholarships to students who participate in special audition classes in schools where we have our Artist-in-Residence programs. We consult both with our school principals and Artists-in-Residence in awarding non-performing arts scholarships.
