How old does my child need to be to enroll in a camp?
LUX camps are offered for kids ages 5-8, youth ages 9-12, and teen ages 13-16. These are more of a guideline than a requirement. For example, if you have a mature 12 year old who would prefer to be in an ages 13-16 camp, that is okay. We do expect that all campers have completed kindergarten as having basic classroom skills is important for a successful camp experience. The one requirement we always stick to is that your child must be at least 9 years old to learn the pottery wheel, age 10 is even better as the person throwing must be physically large enough to push the clay around.
What does my student need to bring or wear to camp?
*2021 COVID-19 Update: Masks are required by all staff and students. The LUX provides all sanitizing materials, handsoap, and hand sanitizer. If students would like to bring their own hand sanitizer, that is perfectly fine with us. We like our campers to wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you won't be too upset if they get stained. Students get very immersed in the art making process and sometimes messy! Many art supplies can stain clothes. We also ask that students bring a plain t-shirt to screen print a camp shirt and a reusable water bottle with their name on it. We do have water fountains but they are not in each classroom. Those enrolled in lunch care also need to bring their lunch in a container with their name on it. Lunches will be stored in a refrigerator.
How do I register for camps?
The best way to enroll in camps is to visit LUXcenter.org/camps. You can also call 402-466-8692 or stop by the LUX to register. Full payment is required at registration.
How much do camps cost?
LUX offers a variety of options and you can build the camp day for your child that fits your schedule. We offer 9am-noon camps, 2-5pm camps, and 8-9am care as well as noon-2pm care. You can sign up morning care, a morning camp, lunch care, and an afternoon camp, or any combination that fits your needs. Camp and additional care are all priced separately. Purchasing a $100 LUX Family Membership will get you a 20% discounts on camp price and lasts for 12 months. If you are registering for multiple camps it pays for itself pretty quickly.
Paint + Draw/Art Sampler/STEAM/Theatre/T-Shirt Print camps cost $125 or $100 for LUX members. Clay Handbuilding/ Pottery Wheel/ Metal Arts camps cost $150 or $120 for LUX Members. 8-9am care costs $20 for the week and noon-2pm lunch care costs $40 for the week. LUX does not have a multi-child discount and does not prorate camps if your child has to miss a day.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule my child’s camp?
If you need to cancel or switch camps, please notify the LUX as soon as possible. Notifying us of cancellations two weeks prior to the start date will result in a full refund, minus a 5% credit card/handling fee. Notifying us of cancellations less than two weeks prior to the start date will result in a LUX credit for the full amount of the original payment. This credit can be use on any other LUX class or workshop in the next 6 months. If you do not cancel by the start date of the class, no refunds will be made. When you register, your spot is held for you and such short notice makes it impossible to fill that spot as camp registration is closed one week before camps starts to provide our artist instructors with accurate class enrollment. Please understand our cancelation policy helps us enforce the highest standards.
