Augusta Heritage Center

Youth & Chaperone Policy

The Augusta Heritage Center is always interested in the idea of  “passing it on” to our youth.  However, a few basic rules apply for reasons of safety and for the benefit of all who attend Augusta workshops:

·    Students taking classes may not bring infants or children to class.

·    Parents/chaperones are responsible for their children outside of class.

·    Youth under 18 must name an adult chaperone who has agreed to be responsible for them during their week at Augusta.

·    Chaperones not registered as students must pay a non-refundable/non-transferrable $100 chaperone fee (Includes access to all group sessions and evening events).  Chaperones are not considered students and will remain outside classrooms.

·    If a young student is staying on-campus, the chaperone must also stay on-campus in the same dorm and pay housing and meal fees.

·    Older youth may enroll in adult classes if pre-approved by the Augusta Heritage Center and the Instructor - an adult level of participation is expected.

·    The minimum age for Folk Arts for Kids is 8 (must have finished 2nd grade).  The minimum age for Folk Arts Week is 7.
