There are no refunds once payment is issued to the Attleboro Arts Museum (this includes missed or sick days).  There is a minimum enrollment of 7 students per age group for sessions to run. In an effort to run all of our summer camps, age groups may merge if there is low enrollment.  If a camp or class has met the minimum enrollment to run and still has space available, you can register right up until the class starts.  However, the class will be cancelled if less than 7 students have registered by three days prior to the start date.
