Schedule For The Day (Tentative)

*Subject to change based on camper’s needs*

MORNING:

We’ll start our day off by kickstarting creativity and fun with imaginative drawing exercises! From animals to crazy characters, we'll explore various techniques to boost ideas & creativity.

LUNCH:

PIZZA PARTY!!!

AFTERNOON:

After their fill of cheese, pizza dough and fun, your child will discover the art of visual storytelling! They’ll explore what goes into creating believable performance-driven expressions in characters and learn to communicate their own stories through artwork.

Regardless of our planned schedule, we're always here to support our students growth, understanding and passion. We’re excited to field any questions our students may have about art, animation, production, or the secrets behind creating captivating films and TV shows.

So don't ever hesitate to bring your curiosity to Cartoon Camp! :)

Some Student Feedback

Brad is an excellent instructor who really cares about his students. He is very kind and supportive, as well as a joy to be around! Even on a busy schedule he makes time to help out and hear out anyone who needs him. I would highly recommend learning from him, it will definitely be a quality education!
— Melodie Litwin
OMG where to begin. Brad is my favorite instructor, period. And I’m not even his student anymore! I cannot stress how much of a blessing it was to have crossed paths with him. He’s taught me so many masterfully genius artistic concepts that I continue to use to this very day. He’s taught me to be professional without forgetting to be silly, the two can coexist and SHOULD coexist. He’s a great role model, full of humility, care and understanding.

FAQ

Q: What about everything else I need to know, like pickup policies, refunds, sick days etc.?

A: All information is clearly outlined or linked to in our Registration Form . The forms are very thorough, but if you still can’t find the information you’d like, never hesitate to reach out & ask questions. We’ll always get back to you ASAP!

Q: When I submit a Registration Form, what happens next?

A: Once a form is completed and submitted to us (which must be filled out by the parent or legal guardian of the child if 15 years old or younger):

  1. Our billing department will send you an invoice in the amount for the total days or weeks you’ve registered for.

  2. Once payment is received in full (via e-transfer), you will be sent a receipt and complete Welcome Package which includes all relevant documents, information & schedules for you records. (Please note: Registration is not complete and a spot will not be held until full payment is received).

  3. Your child is all set to have a great time & learning to push their creativity to the next level!

Q: My child is outside the age range of Cartoon Camp, but I know they’d do well, participate & have a great time. Are there any exceptions?

A: Let’s setup a meeting (virtual or in-person) & determine if your child would benefit from Cartoon Camp together. It is important to note that Cartoon Camp is about creative learning conducted by an industry professional, passionate about teaching anyone who wishes to learn. Cartoon Camp is not a daycare. Campers must have a desire to be creative in order to benefit and have a great time.

Q: The schedule of Cartoon Camp conflicts with our plans, but my child would love to attend. Are there any options?

A: Absolutely. We hold Cartoon Camp multiple times a year (Summer, P.A. Days, March Break etc.) so if there are scheduling conflicts this time, hopefully they can attend our next one! We also offer a wide variety of flexible independent learning options you can learn more about on our Upchuckle Education page. This is also a fantastic option for those outside of the region, as we provide both in-person or online options (additional equipment and/or software may be required for online learning).

Q: How many campers do you permit for each week?

A: It’s important to us that each Camper gets the focus and attention they deserve, so we generally cap our weeks at a maximum of 10 campers. (Spots will fill up quickly! Be sure to register early!)

Have your own question? We’d love to hear from you!
