CHARLESTON CENTER FAQs

What should I bring?

Many classes are phone-friendly! Check the top right corner of class images - you’ll see either a camera & phone or just a camera.
Some advanced courses require cameras, tripods, or other gear. Check your class listing for specifics we’ll always let you know in advance.

Can I host a party, field trip, or group session?

Yes! We love custom bookings. Reach out to schedule:

  • Birthday parties

  • Homeschool or school group field trips

  • Scout badge programs

  • Creative corporate events

We’ll build a customized hands-on photography experience for your group.

What if I miss a class?

We do not offer refunds for missed classes.
However, if your schedule allows, you may be able to join a different group to make up the lesson.

Just reach out and we’ll do our best to help!

What’s your refund or cancellation policy?

We’ll contact you 1 week in advance if your class has low enrollment to discuss rescheduling or offer a refund.

  1. All classes cancelled by us (due to low enrollment, weather, or teacher emergency) will be rescheduled or refunded in full.

  2. Weather cancellations follow the Charleston County School District schedule.

Are parents required to stay during kids’ classes?

Nope! You’re welcome to drop off and pick up, or stay and relax in the mall. For younger kids or learners with special needs, we’re happy to discuss what works best for your family.

Can you accommodate learners with special needs or medical conditions?

Yes! We are a welcoming and inclusive space for learners of all abilities, backgrounds, and identities. If your child (or you) has a disability, medical condition, or any other support need, please reach out. With a Master’s in Special Education, Erika designs our courses to be inclusive and engaging for diverse learners. Our hands-on, interactive approach keeps students actively involved, and we’re happy to provide accommodations.
