Bring a beverage and a nut-free snack. Supervision between morning/afternoon camps over the lunch hour is not provided. A few things to remember when arriving for camp at the Family Learning Center: • Please enter at the Main Entrance (Door #1) and someone will be there to check your child into camp. If you arrive early and doors are locked (as the FLC is a secure building) please wait with your child in the entry way until camp time. • At the end of class, the students will meet parents at the Main Entrance for pick up. • Most times instructors must go directly to another location after class and are unable to stay late. Please make arrangements to have your child picked up at class end time. Abrakadoodle art education offers creative and fun art classes, camps and parties for children ages 2 - 12 years.
