Student Support
Seaside Camps are designed for students entering Kindergarten through 6th grade in Fall 2026. Campers must be at least 5 years old by September 1, 2026 and able to use bathroom facilities independently. If a bathroom accident occurs, parents or guardians will be contacted and asked to come to the studio to assist their child.
Seaside Arts Center is an inclusive and supportive environment. We are happy to make reasonable instructional accommodations for students with diverse learning needs when possible. However, Seaside is not able to provide one-on-one support or individualized supervision. If your child requires the assistance of a one-on-one aide or paraprofessional, please contact us prior to enrollment so we can discuss appropriate support options and determine the best fit for your camper.

- Camp fees are refundable until May 15, 2026, minus a $25 cancellation fee for each camp and registrant.
