Augusta Heritage Center is always interested in “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.
- Participants may not bring infants or children to workshops in which they are not enrolled.
- Parents/chaperones are responsible for children when the children are not attending workshops.
- Participants under age 18 must name an adult chaperone who has agreed to be responsible for them during their week at Augusta.
- In order to stay in residence halls, chaperones not registered as participants must pay a non-refundable/non-transferrable $100 chaperone fee. This fee provides access to all afternoon cultural sessions and evening events. Chaperones are not considered participants and may not attend workshops. (Chaperones must complete, sign, and submit a Youth & Chaperone Form.)
- If a minor participant is staying on-campus, the chaperone must also stay on-campus in the same dorm and pay housing and meal fees.
- Children who have finished Kindergarten through 6th grade may enroll in Folk Arts for Kids.
- Older youth may enroll in adult workshops with a letter of recommendation from a teacher or mentor and if pre-approved by the Augusta Heritage Center and the workshop leader. An adult level of participation is expected.
- Minimum age requirements vary for craft workshops.
