FIRST DAY:  Sunday, June 24, 2012:  2:00pm - 3:30pm

Registration opens at 2:00pm at the Haskell and Adams Dorms at Castleton State College.  To get to the dorms just follow the signs from Main Street. 

Check out the registration procedure here.

FINAL DAY:  Sunday, July 8, 2012:  12:30pm - 5:00pm

Our Final Day! Please join us for the afternoon as we show off our processes and some of our products. You’ll get a chance to see what your student has been working on, as well as a greater understanding of how all of the different art forms work together! We will be done by 5:00pm. Students will already have packed up their things in the morning, so you’ll be able to grab the luggage and go after our program ends. It is extremely important to us that all students stay to the end to complete the experience. We know that many of you have a long way to go on that day, but we appreciate your understanding, and support of our community.
