We recognize that every student is an individual, so we evaluate exceptions on a case-by-case basis. It should be noted that as a specialized art school, our sessions require a certain level of dedication and sustained creative focus which—while a lot of fun—may be somewhat demanding for younger students.

Because we do not have alternative activity spaces or non-art backup programs, we want to ensure every student can thrive in our focused, small-group setting. If your child is outside the 7-13 range but is exceptionally passionate about creativity, please reach out to us at Education@Upchuckle.com to discuss if the program would be a good fit.

Drop-off: Students are welcome to arrive during our social creative window from 3:45 PM – 4:00 PM. This time is designed for students to arrive at staggered times, settle in and have some creative warm-up time before our lesson time begins at 4:00 PM.

Pick-up: Our building locks the exterior doors to the public at 5:00 PM. Our sessions conclude promptly at 6:00 PM, at which time we pack up and make our way to the designated entrance as a group. We will wait together inside the locked doors for the designated person(s) to arrive; please be sure to meet us at the door at this time. As outlined in the Terms & Policies Agreement, late pickup fees come into effect at 6:09 PM.

Transportation: Although we can’t wait to grow to the point of having Upchuckle bus lines carting Students around Barrie, we are not currently able to provide transportation.

Yep! We love seeing families create together.

Just like our other Cartoon Camps, we offer a Sibling Discount: 10% off the 2nd seat when subscribing 2 children to the same month. This discount is automatically applied during the checkout process.

Due to our limited seating and the prep & admin work required for each monthly cohort, our refund policy for Monthly Passes and Multi-Month Bundles is as follows:

1. Individual Monthly Passes

• Cancellations 8+ calendar days before the first session: 50% of the pass is refundable.

• Cancellations 7 or less calendar days before the first session: The pass is non-refundable.

2. Multi-Month Bundles

• Cancellations 8+ calendar days before the first session of your next upcoming month: You will receive a refund equal to 50% of the full retail price of the next closest month and a 100% refund for any following months remaining in your bundle.

• Cancellations 7 or less calendar days before the first session of your next upcoming month: The upcoming month is non-refundable, but you will receive a 100% refund for any following months remaining in your bundle.

Notes:

• Sporadic refunds on any individual sessions or specific months within a bundle are not possible in any scenario.

• Additional payment processing fees may also apply to refund amounts.

Nope!

We are dedicated to each and every individual student and always want to ensure our specialized training remains available for those who have enrolled. If any given month has 2 or fewer students enrolled the lead instructor (Brad) will be the sole staff member present for each session, rather than our standard two instructors.

This is what allows us to continue the program for the month.

If this low enrollment policy is relevant for your child you will be notified on the Monday before the first Wednesday of the month once the enrollment cutoff has passed.

We do not offer refunds for low enrollment scenarios.

It’s always best to meet our enrollment cutoff dates but if there is time and we have seats available we will do what we can to include your child.

We will need to move quickly through the entire enrollment process which relies heavily on your response time and our availability. We are happy to help out in a pinch but to ensure we are able to prepare, any late registration must be treated as a one-time exception rather than a routine occurrence. It should be noted that same-day enrollment is likely not possible.

Due to our building and intertwined curriculum, partial or mid-month enrollment is not possible.

While our regular Cartoon Camps offer an Extended Hours Program, our After School Program currently does not currently offer this as an option.

Once you purchase admission through our website, there is one final step to officially secure your child’s seat at Cartoon Camp After School:

• Within 1 business day of your order we’ll email you a mandatory Student Information Form to help us ensure the health and safety of everyone at camp. Please watch your inbox (and spam folder) for this email from Education@Upchuckle.com—adding us to your contacts is a great idea!

• The form will arrive with a clear deadline for submission (usually about 3 days—sooner if we’re nearing the enrollment cutoff date). Because we have to manage our limited seating carefully, missing this deadline will result in cancellation of your order and be subject to our refund policies.

• Once we’ve reviewed your form we’ll reach out to either ask for clarification or confirm your child's seat is officially secured.

• 1–3 days before the first session of the month, we’ll send your Welcome Package with all the extra details your child will need to join us!
