Scholarship Information
TAC is committed to making camps accessible regardless of financial circumstances. 25-100% scholarships are available.
Scholarship applications for summer camps are limited to two weeks of summer camp per student.
TAC has a limited amount of scholarship funds. The earlier you complete your application, the better chances you have of getting into the requested class.
You must apply and be approved for a scholarship before registering for camp. Assistance cannot be retroactively applied.
We set aside 20% of our overall enrollment spaces for students receiving scholarships. Scholarship applications are accepted on a rolling basis until all scholarship spots are filled.
You will need to submit one application form for each child for whom you're seeking assistance.
To request a scholarship application, please email Elizabeth Tucker at elizabeth@textileartsmadison.org.
Location
Summer Camps will be held at TAC’s facility at 1702 South Park Street. TAC has a large parking lot, is right on the Wingra Creek Bike Path (and has a bike rack), and is on the Madison Metro “B” route.
How do I communicate emergency contact information, allergy information, and the like?
Once registered, you will receive a Camper Information Form via email which will cover all of this type of important information.
How does pick-up and drop-off work?
With the exception of camps for high-school-age students (14+), camp participants are expected to be signed in and out of camp by an adult at the start and end of each camp day. If you would like your student to be able to sign themselves in and out, you can approve this on their Camper Information Form.
Can my child bring a snack?
Yes, students should bring a peanut/tree nut-free snack and a water bottle to camp each day.
How does “lunch hour” work?
Enrollment in “lunch hour” is required for students enrolled in morning and afternoon sessions any given week, and costs $25. Students must bring their own nut-free lunch and a water bottle.
What should my child wear to camp?
During summer camps we ask that the students wear clothing that can get messy and/or possibly stained.
