Answers to Common Questions
"What other programs do you offer?"
- We only offer summer day camps. We do not offer birthday parties, after school programs, or field trips.
"How do half days work?" NOTE: *We are NOT currently offering half days*
- For half days, students may be picked up at either end of lunchtime: at 12 pm or 1 pm.
- Contact us to request a "half-day" registration. "Half-days" are 70% of the cost for a "full" day.
- Only 5 half-day spots are available for each week.
- Half-day students still participate in our morning experiments, games, and activities but do not participate in art or our art project or "fun activity" (which can range from guest speakers to trivia to hands-on experiments).
"Tell me about extended care?" NOTE: *We are NOT currently offering extended care*
- Extended care is available from 8-9 am, and 3-4 pm. The cost is $8/hour (ex: $40/wk for one hour per day).
- Students can read, or engage in free play with other students.
"By when should I purchase extended care?"
- Extended care should be purchased at least one week in advance. Late requests are allowed, but not guaranteed.
- If you would like to purchase only specific days, please make a special request by contacting us via email.
— Such purchases will be at the rate of $12 per hour, per child.
"How long should I expect to wait for a response?"

Camp Rules & Information
Please review this checklist in order to prepare for camp:
√ Camp runs 9 am - 3 pm. Extended care is not currently available.
√ Campers must be walked in/out by their parent or guardian each day. There is a mandatory sign-in/sign-out sheet.
√ Campers must bring a cold lunch, water bottle, and a book each day (for quiet reading).
√ We spend time outdoors each day. We do not provide sunscreen, but we encourage you to pack it if you wish.
√ We provide 1 snack daily (Note: we ask that students with food allergies provide their own snacks for safety).
√ Camp shirts are required daily. One shirt is included with your first week purchased, and additional shirts are $10 (must order in advance).
Molecules - Leadership Program*
For students ages 11-13, we offer a leadership program! These students still get to participate in the same camp activities as younger students in addition to working on leadership skills.
* Note: Molecules are not our assistant teachers. We hire adults for all teaching positions.
√ Molecules may be asked to help set up experiments, act as role models for small groups of younger students, and may even request to help teachers demonstrate activities.
√ Molecules receive a 10% discount off the weekly price.
√ Molecules may find that some camp weeks are "easy" for their ability level. Most older students do enjoy the program, but you should make your own decisions based on each week's age recommendations and your child's interests. If your child doesn't enjoy helping teachers and classmates, they may prefer our more challenging weeks.
