Our specialty camps are designed to provide exposure and inspiration to a wide array of high-quality art materials, tools, techniques & processes, art movements & styles, while providing exciting exposure to famous artists throughout history. We believe in an all-encompassing approach to the visual arts and do our best to also include a very well-rounded approach. Come see what makes us special!
La Dee Da offers a variety of camps throughout the year for children ages 3 and up! All preschool age MUST be potty trained to attend our day camps.
Our summer programming offers a robust and specialty based curriculum for both boys and girls. Our weeklong camps are designed for children age 4 - 12 years old.
La Dee Da's DIY Art Kits are designed for children choosing to attend our programming from home. Please check often as our kits change frequently.
School Break Camps
At La Dee Da we offer a unique creative program that is like no other in town! Our curriculum is well researched and thought out, we use quality art supplies, hire qualified staff and offer smaller group settings. With a combination of arts & crafts, in-house field trips, movement, music, books and plenty of play time, there is something for everyone! Students work on multiple projects during the week, some of which are progressive in nature. For this reason, we do not offer single day camps over the summer period. Our curriculum has been designed to be an adjunct filler to traditional day camps that you might be planning to send your child to this summer. Sign up for one or multiple weeks!
Ages:
Ages 4 - 10 (must be potty trained)
Students are divided into 3 different groups based on age and development.
Single day school break camps are available throughout the school year.
Groups:
We have 3 age groups for our camps with limited spots available. We try to arrange age ranges that best support a curriculum and medium that is being taught. Our camp groups are run simultaneously but in separate groups/classrooms with dedicated instructors. Some camps and programs are taught in a Montessori-style with broader age-range groups, learning and sharing together creatively. Occasional age exceptions are made upon Parent Request. [i.e. placing siblings/friends together, or a slightly younger child in an older group] Please indicate on registration form and requests will be honored based on availability. We strive to provide the best possible educational, developmental and enjoyable experience for all the children in our programs.
School Break Camp Tuition:
Single Half Day Camps: 9:30 am - 1:30 pm ($75)
Single Full Day Camps: 9:30 am - 4:00 pm ($99)
Pre Care: 8:30 am - 9:30 am ($15)
Please see our web calendar for our camp offerings during the school year.
What To Bring:
Parents must provide a labeled non-perishable lunch, morning snack and water bottle (please remember La Dee Da is a peanut & nut free facility to ensure the safety of all our children). Afternoon snacks will be provided for children enrolled in our full day camp program. Students should wear play clothes that may get dirty and stained along with closed toed shoes. Our goal is for children to have fun and feel free, to be creative, messy and worry-free. Please apply sunscreen and bug spray daily.
Is this your first time at La Dee Da?
Please fill out an enrollment/registration form for each child visiting the studio. The registration form covers emergency contact information, a medical release, and a photo release. You only need to fill it out one time each calendar year and we will keep it on file.
Attendance & Cancellation
Although we are very flexible, we expect enrolled students to attend camp/classes on the day they register. We staff up and plan for projects based on enrolled students. We do not offer make-up days for absences. We do not refund tuition for absences. No show, no call, no communication equals no refunds or credits. We staff up and base our projects on enrollment. Your enrollment confirms a spot for your child which means we might not have been able to take another camper. If any special circumstances need to be addressed, please email [email protected]. All cancellation requests need to be made in writing to [email protected]. In case of illness, a partial credit may be issued if a written request is accompanied by a doctor's note. We greatly appreciate your business and we will work through reasonable adjustments if possible.

- In accepting your camp registration, La Dee Da reserves a place for your child and hires staff according to registrations and deposits paid. Therefore, NO refunds or credits will be given after April 30, 2024.
- Any cancellation requests made before April 1, 2024 will receive a full refund minus a $50 cancellation fee (per camp). Please keep in mind the $35 registration fee remains NON REFUNDABLE.
- Cancellation requests made between April 1, 2024 and April 30, 2024 will receive a 50% refund. Please keep in mind the $35 registration fee remains NON REFUNDABLE. La Dee Da is unable to provide refunds or credits after April 30, 2024 due to limited enrollment and expenses incurred.
- We understand situations arise and plans can change! La Dee Da will allow you to give your spot (less registration fee) to a friend or family member but will be unable to assist in finding replacement campers for your child’s spot unless there is an eligible waitlist in your child's camp group. Please provide notifications of enrollment changes including the name and age of the new camper via email to [email protected].
- We do not provide refunds for absences, late arrivals, or early withdrawals of campers.
- No deposits/tuition will be refunded on or after April 30th, 2024, but is available to be transferred based on availability with a transfer fee.
- If illness causes your child to miss 3 or more consecutive days in one week of camp, you can submit a doctor's note as proof of illness and therefore be eligible to receive a partial credit on your account for that specific week (minus registration fees and deposits).
- The refund & cancellation policy also applies towards fees paid for early and post camp care.
Behavior Guidelines:
Please read our behavior policy with your camper before camp.
We expect campers to act respectfully at all times when they are on our property or participating in our programs. Campers are to behave in a mature, responsible way and respect the rights and dignity of others and all La Dee Da property.
Actions will reflect the Four Core Values:
- Campers take Responsibility for their actions.
- Campers Respect themselves, each other, camp equipment and the environment.
- Honesty will be the basis for all relationships and interactions.
- Campers will be Caring in their relationships with others.
Campers should talk to a counselor or any camp staff member if they are uncomfortable with any experiences or need assistance while at camp.
Discipline Procedures:
When a camper does not follow the behavior guidelines, we will take the following action steps as behavior problems progress.
- Staff will redirect the camper to more appropriate behavior.
- If inappropriate behavior continues, the camper will be reminded of behavior guidelines and camp rules, and the camper will be asked to decide on action steps to correct his/her behavior.
- If a child’s behavior still does not meet expectations and is affecting the experience of other campers, he/she will be referred to the Camp Director.
- If inappropriate behavior continues, as a final action step the camper may be dismissed from camp.
Examples of unacceptable behavior:
- Refusing to follow behavior guidelines or camp rules
- Using profanity, vulgarity or obscenity
- Stealing or damaging property (personal or camp property)
- Refusal to participate in activities or cooperate with staff
- Disrupting a program
- Endangering the health and safety of children and/or staff
- Teasing, making fun or bullying of other campers or staff
Camper fees are non-refundable if a camper is sent home for disciplinary reasons. Physical violence or bullying toward another camper or staff member will result in immediate dismissal from the camp program.
