Art Farm Camp Opens for Encinitas School District Holiday

Hello Encinitas Parents! Welcome to the wonderful world of Carlsbad Art Farm.

Several of you have contacted Art Farm to see if we can run camps during the two-week school break starting next Monday. The answer is, Yes, we'd be delighted. The biggest problem at our end is that the Encinitas School District doesn't allow for profit businesses to reach parents through the school, so it's difficult for Art Farm to get the word out.

Our requirement to run camp is a minimum enrollment of 12 students. If you are interested, and know other parents who might be interested, we need to get people enrolled this week. For more information, contact Perrin Coman, director and owner of art farm, at: director@carlsbadartfarm.com or call 760-688-6147. Our website is currently being updated, but we recommend you visit to get an overview. Reviewing earlier posts at this blog from summer camp will provide great visuals of what camp looks like.

We can offer two one-week sessions at a special rate of $300 weekly. Discounts apply for multiple siblings. Students must currently be enrolled in second-grade or older. We recognize that these are hard financial times, so we can work with parents somewhat who can't afford full tuition. It's an honor system so please don't ask for a discount unless it really is a hardship.

Camp hours are 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. We can offer an extended day for for an additional fee. At Art Farm, we teach children how to draw and paint, make nature journals and animal soap (we have fun with many projects) in our outdoor studios on our private 10-acre woodland property in Carlsbad. We use live animal models and our beautiful habitat as sources of inspiration.
