Yes, if additional time is needed to pay your program fees, we can work with you to establish a payment plan. Please contact us at programs@thehandworkstudio.com for more information. Please note, full payment is still due at least 1-week before the first day of your child(ren)'s registered program.
We want your child (and future camper!) to have the best week at THS, but to make sure please make sure they come with the following:
- A Labeled Water Bottle
- Sunscreen
To make sure all campers can enjoy all activities at camp, we ask that they wear comfortable, weather-appropriate, clothing that is ok to get a little messy in.
Layers are always a good idea (just remember to label all your items)! Our indoor space is air conditioned and we will be outside at times too.
We also ask campers to wear closed-toe shoes/sandals to protect their feet.
We ask you to refrain from bringing any additional items from home, such as stuffed
animals, toys, electronics, things that hold special meaning, etc.
Due to the nature of camp, items may get lost or broken. However, in special circumstances, such as our Glamorize Your Doll program campers will be able to bring in their dolls from home.
The Handwork Studio is not responsible for these additional
items.
The address to Haverford College is 370 Lancaster Ave, Haverford, PA 19041. You can check out their campus map HERE. As we get closer to the start of camp, a welcome email will be sent with specific instructions to where we are located on campus with our pick-up and drop-off instructions.
We ask campers to refrain from using cellphones while at camp. Children who are seen calling, texting, or using cell phones while in our care will be asked to put their phones away. We want campers to be actively engaged in the programs that we offer instead of being on a device. We do understand that cell phones have an important time and place. If you need to communicate with your child, please call our camp offices and Christina, our amazing administrator will be able to relay any messages as needed.
Yes. Before Care is $50 (per child) for the week and is offered from 8am-9am. After Care is $100 (per child) for the week and is offered from 3pm-5pm.
