Big News from Ashley and The Big Cheese!

Dear Art Camp Families,
David Wohlstadter (aka “The Big Cheese”) and I have some exciting news for you all! Please read the email below from David regarding Art Camp 2016! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at anytime.
Thank you so much. I promise to continue to provide a quality program that is creative, unique, positive and FUN for your kids! See you at camp!
Ashley Falsnes
Director, The Art Camp

Dear Art Camp Families,
I have some exciting news and wanted you to be among the first to know!  After 15 wonderful years of running the Summer Art Academy, 9 of those years at Ilan Ramon, I am transferring ownership of my summer camp program to Ashley who, as you know, has been running camp with me now for 9 years!

I know that our loyal camper community is in capable hands with Ashley.On the surface not much will change, camp will still be the same great program you have come to expect each summer and once camp does start I will still be around, after all the Big Cheese cannot just disappear!

Running a successful summer at camp has never been an issue for Ashley , as you know she runs a tight ship and I am positive she and her wonderful staff, many of whom you know, will continue to do so over the years ahead.

So as I look toward retiring from the camp business, please welcome Ashley as she steps into her new role as owner of the Art Camp and her bright future as a business owner. I am so excited for her.

Wen all can’t wait to see you again this summer at Art Camp!

David Wohlstadter
Founder, Summer Art Academy

Session 2 Week 2!!

Good Day Art Camp Families!

It’s week 2 already, which means we’re almost halfway done with the session. It’s crazy!! So many exciting things are happening this week!! Wednesday is HIPPIE DAY, where kids can dress up in their favorite hippie outfit from our favorite decade. On Thursday, it’s CRAZY DAY, where you can mix and match outfits, wear your hair in a weird way, hairspray it different colors, wear different color socks, or even come as your crazy self to camp. As always, we will have lots of games and really cool activities. The JCITs and CITs will have awesome activities for the children for either day or maybe even both!

But the most important thing is happening this upcoming weekend…IT’S THE SLEEPOVER!!!!! Our favorite time of the year! This session’s theme is Ashley, Morgan, and Olivia’s Ultimate Birthday Bash! When we took Ashley, Morgan, Olivia, and the Art Camp’s birthdays and added it together, we got 8 1 (August 1st)! Cool huh? The directors will have an activity to do with the kids that they’ve been dreaming to have at their birthday parties since they were kids, but could sadly never do. Food, desert, and breakfast in the morning is fully covered, and fun is always guaranteed. I know you’re wondering how you can sign your children up for the fun (and the weekend off). Well, if you follow this link, you can fill out the form and turn it in to Ashley, Morgan, or Olivia. But hurry up cause the spaces are LIMITED!!

P.S. If you’re already signed up for the sleepover (YES!), you still need to turn in a form, just not the payment.

Also, our wonderful Chef Shantai has a Hot Lunch Program. The lunches are nutritious and filling for children, but most of all, easy for you. There are vegetarian options if need be. The meal options change daily, but remain the same weekly. If you want to sign up for one day this week, a whole week, or even the rest of the session, click here and complete the form.

If you wanted to stay updated daily with pictures of your super cute kids or see what funny things we are doing at camp, follow our Instagram (@agouraartcamp). You can check our Facebook for updates as well!

Last but not least, the Directors, Teachers, and Counselors will like to thank you for all your wonderful support and cooperation throughout the summer!

Session 2 Week 1!!!!

Good Day Art Camp Families!

To the families new and old, the Art Camp Staff would like to welcome you to Session 2! We are so excited to start another four weeks filled with water bombs, sleepovers, prank week, yummy treats, and so much more. If you are a new family, don’t forget to attend our Open House this Sunday (7/19) from 9-1.

At camp, we want to ensure that we are having a blast every single second of the day. As much as the Directors would love to do that job, they unfortunately cannot. That’s where our wonderful counselors come in! Our counselors are trained well in the craftsmanship that is FUN; some of them have been at camp since we’ve been at Ilan Ramon (eight years) while others are joining us for the first time. Either way, they are all excited to spend their summer playing silly games, getting soaked, making a fool of themselves, but most importantly, ensuring that everyone is having a blast.

Art Camp is not like any other day camp. We don’t go on field trips biweekly or do sports every block, but we do something that no other day camp does, we have SLEEPOVERS!!. That’s right, for just the price of $75 per child, you can enroll your son or daughter for the wonderful Session 2 sleepover. It’s filled with fun games, prizes, and so much more. This session’s sleepover is on August 1st, so save the date! (Registration forms to come)

Throughout the summer, Art Camp participates in fundraising money for Camp Del Corazon, a camp for children with heart disease or a history of heart disease. The money that we raise helps send children who cannot afford to go to camp. Last session, we were able to help raise $6,217, which is enough to send 6 children to camp. Our goal this session is to raise more, because the more kids we can send the merrier. Do YOU think we can raise more money?

On another note, our wonderful Chef Shantai has a Hot Lunch Program. The lunches are nutritious and filling for children, but most of all, easy for you. There are vegetarian options if need be. The meal options change daily, but remain the same weekly. If you want to sign up for one day this week, a whole week, or even the rest of the session, you can follow this link and complete the form.

If you wanted to stay updated daily with pictures of your super cute kids or see what funny things we are doing at camp, follow our Instagram (@agouraartcamp). You can check our Facebook for updates as well!

The first week of the session is always the craziest, but we can’t wait to experience it with a brand new group of kids

WEEK 4 UPDATES!

Good Day Art Camp Families!

We can’t believe it is already week 4! Where has the session gone?! So crazy how fast it went. This past weekend was THE AMAZING RACE SLEEPOVER. The kids had an amazing time doing scavenger hunts, playing different challenges, and sleeping at camp. We played mind-blowing games, and below, are just some of the pictures from the sleepover. Don’t forget you can already register for the Session 2 Sleepover!

As the session is coming to a close and we are sad to say goodbye to the campers that we have made memories with. That being said, we are super excited to see the wonderful performances that they have worked so hard to put together for the camp, and especially the parents. If you know that your child is in a performing class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, look at this schedule. If your child is in a performing class on Tuesday and Thursday, click here.

If you pay for you son or daughter to eat popsicle every time they’re at camp, you already know that all the profits go to Camp Del Corazon, a camp for children with heart disease or a history of heart disease. The money helps send children who cannot afford to go to camp. This session, we helped raise $6076! That’s enough to send 6 children to Camp Del Corazon, which is more than we’ve ever had in Art Camp history! Awesome!!!!!!!

Teen Camp LOVED buddy blocking with Da’vinCheese on Tuesday and Thursdays that we’re doing it again! Teen Camp helped their 101 buddies make ice cream from scratch. We combined Teen Camp’s science class with Da’vinCheese’s cooking class to create an awesome experience they both enjoyed. Everyone made a new friend!

The JCITs and CITs this session did an amazing job to help make camp super fun! They helped set up and even run the photo booths that we had on some of our spectacular costume days. On Fourth of July, they served yogurt with berries and they even helped all of camp make ice cream sundaes this week! Super yummy

If you had as much fun in Session 1 as we all did, it is still not too late to register for Session 2 101, upper, or even teen camp! We have completely new classes with some awesome new teachers, JCITs, CITs, and Counselors. We’re so ready to relive the fun from Session 1, on a whole new level. Pranks will be heightened, games will be more challenging, and classes will be just as intriguing. But, register quick before spots start to fill!!

Don’t forget to check out our Instagram (@agouraartcamp), which is updated hourly with awesome pictures of your wonderful kids. You can check our Facebook for updates as well!

Also, our wonderful Chef Shantai has a Hot Lunch Program. If you want to sign up for the rest of this week and next week, or even next session, you can follow this link and complete the form.

Last but not least, Ashley, Morgan, Olivia, and David would like to thank you, the parents, for all the hard work you guys have done throughout the session. Without your support and efforts, this session would not have been as amazing and wonderfully fun as it was. We really appreciate all you have done!

But the most important thing is happening this weekend…IT’S THE SLEEPOVER!!!!! Our favorite time of the year! This session’s theme is The Amazing Race. The kids will run from “country to country” solving awesome mysteries and doing really cool activities, all with our awesome sleepover staff. Food, dessert, and breakfast in the morning is fully covered, and fun is always guaranteed. We know you’re wondering how you can sign your children up for the fun (and the day off) this weekend.
