Fees incurred to CCA from returned checks (NSF) are the responsibility of the parent/guardian. Cheltenham Center for the Arts' staff, faculty and counselors do not disburse or handle prescription or over-the-counter medication and are not trained to care for special needs children. Parent/guardians are required to complete our camp medical forms amd discuss any physical/behavioral concerns prior to the start of camp.
POOL TRIPS TBD, pending township updates!
Conklin Pool is a 5-minute bus ride away, and provides supervised free swim for our full-day campers each Wednesday afternoon. The pool is life-guarded and counselors are in each part of the pool to supervise. Pool trips during Sessions 1-4 only. No pool trip 7/3. Please remember to provide your child with a pool towel, bathing suit and sunscreen.
SNACK
The Center provides a snack for the five to six year old campers during the camp program and for all After Care campers.
LUNCH
Full day campers should bring their own lunch, clearly labeled, in a brown bag or lunch box. Lunches can be refrigerated. In good weather, lunch is eaten outside on the Art Center’s grounds.
DRESS
Campers should dress for the sometimes messy work of active art projects. Smocks and towels for the pool should be marked with your child's name. On scheduled swim days, please send bathing suits and towels. We will change at the Center before going to the pool.
EXHIBITIONS AND PERFORMANCES
There will be an exhibition reception and performance on the final Friday of each session from 2-3pm.

Students are taught the safe use of appropriate equipment under careful supervision. The Bernard H. Berger theater seats 100 and is used for some classes and for performances. The theater and studio spaces are all air-conditioned: the large gallery space which is occasionally used is not air conditioned. The Center is adjacent to the lovely Tookany Creek Park.
