Registration Information and Fee Structure

Registration for the 2025 Summer Semester will begin April 4, 2025. Registration will remain open while space permits. For camps, registration will close the Friday prior to the beginning of the camp week.

The Carrollton Center for the Arts does not discriminate against any person with respect to race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, veteran status, political affiliation or disability.

Classes, camps, workshops and special events may be canceled if minimum participation is not reached. Participants enrolled in any instructional class, camp, workshop or special event that is canceled will receive a full refund or may transfer the registration fee to another program being offered during that semester of programming.

Participants who cancel their registration prior to the beginning of a program will receive reimbursement, minus a 20 percent handling fee. NO REFUND will be made after the first camp/class session.

No refunds can be made on theatre/concert tickets sold.

Hardships will be handled on an individual basis and MUST BE delivered in writing to the arts center manager. Please allow four weeks for reimbursement.

Lunch & Snacks - Full-day camps

Full-day camps: Campers will need to bring a sack lunch that does not need to be refrigerated. The center does have a vending machine. For all camps, the center will provide one snack during the camp day. If a child has a food allergy, we ask parents to send a snack for their child.

Instructional Fees

As a governmental agency, we use all our fees to develop our programs. Most fees we charge are used to cover our expenses, including hiring the best qualified instructors and paying operating costs. In order to cover costs, you will see class/workshop fees, show fees and admission fees for programs and performances. The Carrollton Center for the Arts strives to keep fees to a minimum.

Performance Fee

A performance fee will be assessed prior to shows performed by the youth programs. This fee will cover the costs of rehearsals outside of class, sets, props, lighting, legal rights to music/plays, costumes/uniforms, publicity, and other costs associated with production.

Admission Fees

An admission fee will be charged for public performances. Aside from admission fees adding value to any product created by the Carrollton Center for the Arts, admission fees are used to support the production staff, including those who work behind the scenes, in the sound/lighting booth, in the box office and who provide janitorial service after the performance.

Everyone is Welcome

Accessible seating for people with wheelchairs and a companion is available for all shows on a first–come, first–served basis. Be sure to mention your need for wheelchair accessible seating when you purchase your ticket.
