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. Our program is a mix of both product and process art. We provide a lot of structure and education with our programming.

Cancelation for Summer 2025: We are a small family owned community art studio. 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.  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. All credits must be used within the issued time frame.

Summer 2025 Registration Policies

Changing Weeks

Registration fee allows for a one-time date change prior to April 30, 2025. Changes after this date will incur a $35 per child/week fee. All changes are based on camp availability and must be approved by the camp director. We request that families notify us of date changes as soon as possible as space is limited and sessions fill up quickly.

Refund & Cancellation Policy:

La Dee Da will honor cancellation deposit refund requests as follows:

  1. 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, 2025.

Cancellation requests made between April 1, 2025 and April 30, 2025 will receive a 50% refund, minus $35 registration fees.  La Dee Da is unable to provide refunds or credits after April 30, 2025 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. 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.
  3. No deposits/tuition will be refunded on or after April 30th, 2025, but is available to be transferred based on availability and may incur change fees.
  4. 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).
  5. The refund & cancellation policy also applies towards fees paid for early and post camp care.
  6. Campers under the age of 5 are not eligible for our full day camp program.

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.

  • Campers take Responsibility for their actions.

  • 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.

  1. Staff will redirect the camper to more appropriate behavior.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. If inappropriate behavior continues, as a final action step the camper may be dismissed from camp.
