Art Portfolio Program Daily Schedule

Here is a typical day for Art Portfolio Program students ...

Descriptions:

Meals: A hot buffet meal is served for breakfast, lunch and dinner and a variety of healthy options are available. Campers in a unit sit together with their counselors in the dining room during meals.

 

Long activity periods: During long activity periods, art portfolio students attend art classes. Campers receive their individual schedule at breakfast on the first Monday of the session.

 

Rest hour/free swim and gym: Younger units go the pool or gym at 12:00 and have rest hour in the gym at 1:00. Older units have rest hour after lunch and the pool is open for them at 1:00. The oldest units (age 15-16) have special privileges during this time, such as computer time, movie watching, and optional extended rest hour.

 

Short activity period: Students choose an elective activity such as dance, theatre, tennis, creative writing, pool games, etc.

 

Canteen: Our camp store is open during this time for campers to purchase camp merchandise, get quarters for laundry, buy a snack candy, or replace necessary toiletry items. All purchases are deducted from a special canteen account established by the camper’s parent before the session begins.

 

Unit activity: Students choose an elective activity such as dance, theatre, tennis, creative writing, pool games, etc. Art portfolio students may use this time to work on projects in the art studio as time allows.

 

Evening program: Most evening programs are large group activities designed for the entire camp’s participation. Examples are campfire, field games, talent show, “Miss Allegheny” pageant, dance parties, scavenger hunt, international night, and game show night.

 

Bedtime: All campers are expected to be in their units in the dorm by 9:30 p.m. Specific bedtimes vary, depending on the age of the girls in the unit and their level of fatigue. By 10:30, most lights are out and hallways are quiet, (and often much earlier for younger campers).
