Frequently Asked Questions:

Class Ages: Because projects are designed for the specific age groups identified, students must be the minimum age listed on the start date of camp.

Transportation: Families are responsible for arranging transportation of their students. Students should arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before the start of classes and picked-up no later than 15 minutes after camps end.

Art Show: Each week will culminate with an Art Show the final 20 minutes of camp, where we welcome friends and family to celebrate the work of students! Work that is ready to go home may be collected upon departure. Work that needs to be fired in a kiln will remain on site. The Paramount will send an email once the work is ready for pick-up (typically three or four weeks after the final day of camp)

Clothing: Please send your child in clothes that can get messy! Closed toed shoes (no sandals) help keep feet protected while in studio.

Lunch: If your student is registered for both morning and afternoon camps in a week, they are welcome to remain on site and eat lunch with our staff! Students should bring their own bag lunch; students will not be able to leave the facility to purchase lunch off site or have access to vending machines. Due to allergy concerns, we ask that no tree nut or peanut products be sent.

Electronics: We ask that devices, including phones or tablets, be turned to silent mode during camps. Ringtones and alerts can be distracting in the creative environment. The Paramount is not responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen devices. Should you need to contact your student please call the Visual Arts Office at (320) 257-3128.

Assistance Fund: The Paramount Center for the Arts’ Assistance Fund provides access to our educational arts programming for those who would not otherwise be able to participate due to financial limitations.

Accessibility: The Paramount welcomes comments and suggestions about how we might continue to improve our programs and services for visitors with disabilities and is committed to improve experiences for every patron. To offer feedback or make requests for a visit, please contact:
Director of Community Engagement, Aimee Miron

Cancellation Policy: Cancellations are eligible for a partial refund, less an administration fee of 15% of camp tuition, if the cancellation happens 15 or more calendar days prior to the camp start date. Unfortunately, refunds are not available for cancellations happening 14 days, or fewer, of the camp start date.

Camps run Monday through Thursday each week. Unfortunately, the Paramount is unable to pro-rate camps due to absences, with the exception of family or medical emergency.

COVID-19 Safety Precautions: We are excited to be in the Studios for in-person art camps! The Paramount Center for the Arts continues to follow recommendations of the CDC. Visit our Community Health First page to read about our current practices.

All registrants will be informed of any changes to our protocols as they occur.
