School Break Camp Policies

Schools out, camps are in at La Dee Da! We follow Fulton County’s school calendar and offer a variety of school break camps when public schools are out, throughout the academic year and over major holidays. Please check our online calendar to register for upcoming school break camps. Don’t see a camp being offered on your school’s day off? No problem, call us and we can set up a special camp day just for you and your friends (a minimum of 8 campers MUST be enrolled).

Ages:

Ages 4 – 10 (must be potty trained); In some instances, we may allow children ages 3+ to attend. Please call prior to registration.
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 organize our classrooms based on age ranges that best support a curriculum and medium that is being taught. Our camp groups are run simultaneously but in separate classrooms with dedicated instructors and support staff. Some camps and programs are taught in a Montessori-style with broader age-ranges. Thereby, learning and sharing together creatively. Occasional age exceptions are made upon Parent Request. [i.e. placing siblings/friends together, or a slightly older child in a younger group] Please indicate on registration form and requests will be honored based on availability. All friend requests need to be made PRIOR to camp. We will not be able to accommodate group requests on the day of camp. We strive to provide the best possible experience for all children attending our programs.

School Break Camp Tuition:

Single Half-Day Camps: 9:30 am – 1:30 pm ($80)
Single Full-Day Camps: 9:30 am – 4:00 pm ($125)
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. To ensure the safety of all our children, we are a peanut & nut-free facility. 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. We cannot be responsible for lost or damaged items at camp. Our goal is for children to have fun and feel free to be creative, messy and worry-free. We do go outside for recess and art breaks. Please apply sunscreen and bug spray daily and dress according to weather.

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. Please update all information annually.

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.  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 Registration Policies

We are a SPECIALTY arts & crafts camp. At La Dee Da, we offer a unique creative program that is like no other in town! Our curriculum is well-researched and carefully curated. We use quality art supplies, hire qualified staff and provide a warm and welcoming environment for all ages. With a combination of arts & crafts, in-house field trips, movement, music, books and plenty of playtime, 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 sleep-away camps that you might choose for your child. Sign up for one or multiple weeks! Early sign-up discounts are offered.

Camp will be available beginning the Week of May 27th.

Cancelation for Summer 2025: We are a small family-owned community art studio and appreciate the support of our patrons over the last 12 years. However, as we continue to grow and sustain ourselves in a constantly changing economy, we are unable to provide any refunds for canceled camps outside of our cancelation window. Please make sure you read carefully and understand that there are NO FULL REFUNDS being issued after April 1, 2025. However, we do acknowledge that individual situations can arise. This needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis and a partial credit may be issued at the discretion of the studio director.

Summer Registration Fees

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.

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.
