Online and paper registration is no longer available. Summer Art Camp 2018 is no longer accepting Registrations as of August 1st 2018.
Note: In order to attend Summer Art Camp, campers must be registered and payment received by the Tuesday before the week of camp they are attending. Lyn will confirm registrations via email. This is to prevent confusion with check in on Monday mornings at the Barn. If you registered, but your registration wasn’t confirmed, or you are unsure, please feel free to contact Lyn the week before your camper starts lyn@dairybran.org.
Sponsorships
A limited amount of sponsorships are available on a first come, first serve basis. Each sponsorship pays for one child to attend one session either AM or PM week long session of camp. Each camper is limited to two sponsorships. More sponsorships may be allotted at the discretion of the Education Director. We trust our community to be honest about their own financial needs. We do not ask families to provide person information regarding their income, so we trust that only people who feel they truly need a sponsorship will request one. A good option for many families is to use the sponsorships to double their money, as in, they pay for one session, and match another session with a sponsorship. To get more information or to request a sponsorship before registering, please contact the Education Director lyn@dairybarn.org or call 740-592-4981 and ask to speak with Lyn. All sponsorship information will be kept confidential. Why Sponsor a Child for Art Camp? If you would like to contribute to our sponsorship pool, CLICK HERE.

Frequently Asked Questions & Basic Information:
What is Summer Art Camp?
Since 1996, The Dairy Barn has held summer youth programming. Over the years, we have grown these programs into what is now a true gem of The Athens community. Our Education and Camp Director Lyn Stanton oversee’s every detail of the camp with the help of a fabulous team of wonderful local teachers and the assistance of A Camp Coordinator. Our teachers are local artists and teachers and they work very hard to create fun and unique lessons and activities for our kids. At Summer Art Camp, campers learn drawing, painting, ceramics, fabric arts, sculpture, and much more. Plus we employ lots of other disciplines like science, math and history into the curriculum over the summer for a comprehensive and extensive learning experience.
Who can come to Art Camp?
Campers who have completed a year of kindergarten through campers going into 7th grade are eligible to attend our camp. We divide our campers by age groups and they rotate through different classes over the camp day.
Do I need to be a member?
Summer Art Camp is available to all community families, however, a family level membership does come with a discounted price of tuition. For some families who choose to sign up for several sessions of camp, the membership often pays for itself! You can become a member, or renew your membership right on our website. CLICK HERE
How does the schedule work?
There are 8 weeks of Summer Art Camp programming over the course of the summer. The weeks don’t always run consecutively, so please pay careful attention to the schedule. Each week of camp has an AM session, and a PM session, and each session has a theme. Campers can sign up for just mornings, just afternoons, or full days. We offer a lunch time and a recess time for our all day campers, and our half day campers are always welcome to join us for these to give parents a little more time for pick-up/drop off. Campers bring their own bagged lunches, but the barn provides a light snack once in the morning and once in the afternoon daily. For a full day’s schedule, check out the parent camper hand book. (You’ll find the link below).
How much does Art Camp cost?
After a one time registration fee of $25.00, Each session of camp either AM or PM is $80 for our family level members, and $95.00 for our non-members. For example, if you are a member and you were to sign your camper up for the first week both morning and afternoon, and the third week just the mornings, the total would be $265.00
Registration Cancellations
If a camper is registered and paid for a camp, and then the registration is cancelled, The Dairy Barn will not refund the cost of tuition. We will however issue a credit voucher to the camp family for any other camps, classes, or workshops to be redeemed within one year of issue. In certain emergency or extenuating circumstances, a refund will be issued only at the discretion of the Education Director.
