Program & Refund Policies

Youth and Adult Class Policies

Our Daily Gnome Creative Arts Center (ODGCAC) reserves the right to use copies of artwork and photos taken during any camp, class, or workshop.

If we do not reach our minimum enrollment for a class, we will contact you at least one week before the class is scheduled to begin to postpone the start date or cancel the class.

Should ODGCAC cancel a program, all fees will be refunded.

If you need to cancel your class registration, you must contact our Registrar at (757) 819-7982 or dawn@ODGCAC.org to request a refund. There is no refund for cancellations less than 1 week (7 days) before the first day of class.

A $20 cancellation fee is applied to all class registration refunds.

ALLERGIES: Our camps are nut-free. Please do not pack any food with nuts or nut products in your child’s lunch or snack. Additionally, due to allergy concerns, children may not share food. This includes siblings.

Campers should bring a bottle of water, non-perishable lunch, and afternoon snack (if staying for After Care). No soda, energy drinks, candy, gum, or lollipops.

No toy weapons (such as cap guns, water guns, etc.), handheld video game devices, or iPods. If you send your child with a phone, it must be kept in his or her backpack during the camp day.

Any camper not picked up by 3:15 pm will be automatically transferred to aftercare, and the credit card on file will be charged the full aftercare price for that day.

Campers in aftercare must be picked up by no later than 5:00 pm. For late pickups after 5:00 pm there will be a charge of $1/minute to be paid in cash directly to the provider at the time of pickup.
