Rising Kindergarten
Camp at the High will be accepting a new group of campers—rising kindergartners! Our smaller-sized classes are only a half-day long and are perfect for introducing first-time campers to art camp at the High. Campers will get to use different materials in sensory-based art-making activities and explore the galleries with game-based activities.
Campers are required to be five years old at the time of their camp, potty trained, and prepared for a full day. Half day options are available for this group!
Registration opens in January!

During Beforecare, campers may bring their (nut free) breakfast with them. Campers will also be able to choose from playing board games, small art projects, or free time.
Reminder: Any campers not registered for beforecare will be asked to wait until 8:30 a.m. when general check-in begins.

Reminder: You must pick up your camper at the end of the camp day no later than 4 p.m. to ensure we can staff the aftercare program. Picking up your camper late will result in a late fee of $20 per 10 minutes, unless you have signed up for aftercare.
