Encore Creative Arts & Enrichment Camp is in its 5th year and was one of the few camps open and operating in 2020 and 2021 with a stated perfect safety record, and field trips are suspended for summer 2024. The camp’s mission states that it is focused on live, in-person camps where kids will use their minds and will interact and socialize. The leadership team includes Laura Hodge, David Kamatoy, and Chris Janikas, and instructors include school teachers, museum staff, certified counselors, and other professionals such as martial artists, photographers, chefs, music instructors, and artists, with staff experienced with first aid and security staff throughout the camp. Daily facility sanitization and hygiene reminders are part of camp operations, and the facility is described as gated with security.
Families are asked to send campers with a lunch each day in an insulated lunch box, along with two snacks, water, sunscreen, and hats, and to avoid sending food with nuts due to allergies. Attire is requested to be comfortable and based on the week’s activities, with the note that even classroom-style camps will include some outdoor activity.
