Frequently Asked Questions
Elementary Camp FAQs
- How do classes work? We believe it is important for young students to be exposed to a variety of art forms and new experiences. Each day, students attend 4 classes. A typical schedule includes music, movement, visual arts, and theater. Students do not select their own classes at the elementary camp. Instead, SFAC assigns classes and creates groups based on age and grade level.
- What is the setting like? Located in Sitka, one of Alaska’s most picturesque communities, the Camp celebrates the natural beauty of both mountains and ocean. The camp is located on the Historic Sheldon Jackson Campus. Dormitory, cafeteria, gym, and classrooms are located on site. The campus is a short walk from downtown Sitka.
- Is housing available for families from out of town? Yes, more information is available here.
- Are scholarships available? Need-based scholarships are available. See this page for more information.
- What is the refund policy? The deposit is non-refundable. The tuition balance is due May 1. Tuition is non-refundable after the due date.
