COVID-19 Policies Overview

At Art Buzz Kids, your Child’s health and safety is our highest priority.  We have carefully reviewed the COVID-19 standards required by the CDC and NJ Department of Health to make sure we can provide a safe, fun and creative summer.  The following policies will be implemented for our 2020 Summer Camps:

• We are limiting our overall camp size to no more than 10 campers.
• Campers will not share art supplies and will have their receptacles to use throughout the week.  Whenever possible or necessary these materials will be sanitized intraday or nightly.
• Our tables and chairs will also be arranged so that we can also maintain social distancing within the studio.  
• We will have outside check-in and check-out procedures that include a no-contact temperature check each morning for all staff and campers.  
• Masks will be required to be worn throughout camp so we encourage you to send your child with a face mask.  Games and visuals will be used to role play with children in order to reinforce the importance of wearing a mask.
• If your child is experiencing any sickness or flu-like symptoms, please contact us to reschedule your child to a different week of camp.
