The program is part of Muckenthaler Outreach Programming, which also includes scholarships to M.A.S.C. and other camps and classes, local history tours for elementary schools, free on-site family festivals each year, and multiple community arts partnerships such as Fullerton School District STEAM programs, ACT Anaheim Grant programs, and arts education with organizations including MUZEO, Anaheim Boys & Girls Club, and others. M.A.S.C. is one of several programs alongside S.M.ART (a summer arts camp for youth who are mild-moderate on the autism spectrum) and O.A.P (a free class program for adults 65 years and older in partnership with North Orange County Community College).

Many of the seasoned artists teaching in the program have over 30 years of experience teaching art to students of all ages and also teach at colleges and universities including California State University Fullerton (CSUF), Saddleback, Whittier College, and Otis. The Muckenthaler Education Department is led by Chief Education Officer Stephannie Beeman and includes lead artists Willie Tabata and Bridgette Antonelli, as well as 25 Teaching Artists. The broader leadership team includes Chief Executive Officer Farrell Hirsch, Chief Operations Officer Janette Pyun, Chief Programs Officer Adam England, Chief Education Officer Stephannie Beeman, Communications Director Callie Prendiville Johnson, Development Director Shereen Youssef, Lead Artist & Community Arts Liaison Marsha Judd, Lead Artist Willie Tabata, Receptionist Samantha Starkman, and Receptionist & Volunteer Coordinator Ann Milazzo.

The organization states that all arts programming is aligned with VAPA standards, is student centered with real world application, and uses Project Based Learning methods. It also states that it challenges students with SMART goals to prep and develop career or college bound portfolios and that it focuses on designing personalized experiences.

Camp sales end at 12:00 PM on the Friday before each camp week begins, there is no child care before or after camp, and there are no refunds, only week interchanges. If a camp session does not reach the minimum number of participants, that week is cancelled and tuition is refunded, and programs and classes are subject to change without notice. Families are asked to print and complete all required forms before the first day of camp and submit them by email or in person at drop-off, with the late fee credit card authorization form submitted in person for security reasons.

The program has been described in testimonials as “Heaven on earth” and “A perfect destination to experience the arts at their best” by Broadway World.
