FAQS

Where are your art camps located?

Camp is held on the second floor of Iglesia Emanuel, a local North Durham church that partners with artists to provide studio + teaching space.

The address for Iglesia Emanuel is 2504 N Roxboro St., Durham 27704. It’s just 1/4 mile north of I-85 near Omie’s Coffee.

I am not affiliated with the church itself, but I am jazzed about all the great things they are doing in our community, including a weekly Food Pantry every Wednesday.

Are supplies provided for the Durham art camps that I sign up for?

Yes, all art supplies like paint, canvases, easels brushes, pens, etc. will be provided to participants who sign up for our mini camps. Campers are also welcome to bring their own supplies to customize their projects even more!

Not provided are aprons and smocks, so please bring clothes your child can get messy in (acrylic paint does not come out easily!) or your own apron/smock.

What’s your cancellation policy?

If you cancel registration 14 or more days prior to the start date, you will receive a full refund of the class cost.

No refund will be given for cancellations less than 14 calendar days before the start of any class. Refunds after that will be issued on a case-by-case basis.

What are your hours?

Drop off: 8:50am-9am for all camps.

Pick-up: 2:50-3pm for mini camps during the school year and 1-1:10pm for summer camps.

What’s your COVID policy?

COVID-19 is an ongoing public health crisis in the US, especially among more vulnerable populations like the immunocompromised and our seniors.

To keep everyone safe, masks are encouraged when inside the studio, and I cap my class size at 12. We also open the classroom windows as much as possible and take breaks outdoors, especially when the weather is gorgeous!

How should my child dress for camp?

Make sure your child wears clothes that you wouldn’t mind them getting messy in (acrylic paint is hard to wash out!), while making sure to also dress comfortably for warmer weather or cooler weather.

We do have air conditioning and central heating in our building, so wearing layers is helpful! Be sure to a pack a sweater and appropriate outdoor clothes for our outdoor breaks, as well as an extra mask.

Which age groups does your camp serve?

Mini Camps are for young artists from grades K-6 or ages 5-12. If you have older children (13+) who you would like to enroll as a volunteer counselor in my CIT program, please email me at studio@courtney-potter.com for more information!

Summer Camps serve a wide variety of ages from Grades K-6.

Do you provide lunch?

No, lunch is not provided. Please pack a lunch, water bottle, and snacks for the day for your camper.

Will my child be outside during camp?

While the majority of lessons will take place within the art classroom, we will be taking breaks and eating lunch outdoors, weather permitting.
