Frequently Asked Questions: 

I don't live in Palo Alto. Can I still register for 

Enjoy! programs? 

Yes! Everyone is welcome to participate. Palo Alto 

residents and children enrolled in a PAUSD school 

receive priority registration dates as well as the resident 

discount rate as shown in the Enjoy! Palo Alto catalog. 

What happens if I am "waitlisted" for a course? 

If the course you are hoping to register for is full, you will 

be placed on the "waitlist." No payment is necessary 

when joining a waiting list. As space becomes available, 

waitlisted participants will be contacted via email and 

have 24 hours to enroll in the course. If we do not hear 

from you in that time, we will move onto the next person. 

How do I read the program listing? 

Why does my child have to be a certain age or 

grade level in order to register for some courses? 

In order to ensure the best experience possible for all 

participants, each Enjoy! course if tailored to specific 

ages or grade levels. Each course in the Enjoy! lists the 

age or grade level requirements. Registrants must meet 

these requirements prior to the first class meeting. 

Are there any other discounts available? 

The City of Palo Alto offers Palo Alto youth, adults, PAUSD 

students, adults aged 60+ years, and disabled residents 

the opportunity to apply for our Fee Reduction Program 

based on household income. Those who qualify receive a 

25% or a 50% discount on courses. This discount is valid 

for 1 year and capped at $150 for adults, or $300 for 

youth, adults aged 60+, and disabled residents. 

Reductions are only applicable to new registrations. For 

more info, please call us at 650.463.4949 

I'm a member of the Art Center Foundation. Does 

that qualify me for a discount? 

Yes! Select members of the Art Center Foundation qualify 

for one studio course per Foundation membership per 

year. Call 650.329.2366 for more information. 

When do I pay for courses?

Teen Ceramics Apprentices will volunteer for a minimum of two hours a week for the current camp session at the Art 

Center. Shifts will overlap with ceramics camps for all ages. Volunteer tasks include maintaining the ceramics studio, 

organizing supplies and work, working with the kiln, assisting with lesson planning, classroom management, and working 

closely with Art Center ceramics instructors. Ceramics Apprentices will have access to the ceramics studio during set hours 

for their own artmaking purposes during their apprenticeship. Candidates for this role must have two years of ceramics 

experience in Art Center classes or instructor approval and be at least 16 years of age.

based on availability). 

Placements are first come first serve. If for any reason we are unable to place you, your fee will be returned to you;

Art Center CIT/LCIT 

The Lead Counselor in Training (LCIT) program builds on 

your experience as an Art Center CIT and provides 

opportunities for you to help with CIT training, enjoy 

mentorship from college Kids and Teen Studio (KAT) 

interns, manage camper recreation, and take 

responsibility as the LCIT for a one week session of 

camp LCITs may sign up for more than 1 week of camp!. 

The morning LCIT shift is from 8:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. 

every day; this includes the morning camp, camper 

lunch, and the 12:30-12:45 p.m. transition to afternoon 

camps. The afternoon LCIT shift is from 11:15 a.m. to 

3:15 p.m. every day; this includes camper lunch, the 

12:30-12:45 p.m. transition to afternoon camps, and

of service per week. Instead of focusing on one camp, 

LCITs circulate amongst the different camps during their 

assignment and act as mentors to the CITs. 

LCITs are self-starters who demonstrate excellent 

communication skills, inclusive leadership, and strong 

classroom management skills. Applications will be 

reviewed by the Education Department and applicants 

will be notified by mid-April.
