The last day is part of the product. A child leaving without their project or a musician finding their instrument damaged can undo a good week.
Create a project-return list. Record what goes home, what remains for processing, what is digital, and what belongs to the camp. Check labels before packing.
Use packaging suited to the object. Explain care and limitations honestly. Do not claim a decorative item is food-safe, waterproof, heat-safe, or suitable for a young sibling unless that claim is supported for the actual materials and process.
For delayed work, give a realistic collection window, contact route, and policy for uncollected items. Explain the possibility of firing or processing failure before booking. Do not promise that every ceramic piece will survive.
For digital work, test access using a customer-like account. State how long the link will remain available and how files will be deleted or archived under your policy.
Check borrowed equipment at issue and return with the participant or guardian where suitable. Use a fair, disclosed process for damage. Do not charge for normal wear as if it were deliberate harm.
Your task: Make the last-day checklist at the start of the week, not during pickup.
