Camp Guidelines
Camp drop-off times are: Morning or full-day camps: 8:50 – 9:00 AM, Afternoon only camps: 12:50 – 1:00 PM
Please come on time for drop-off and pick-up. We jump right into the projects of the day and there is no time for a late child to catch up.
At KidzArt and Club Scientific camps, we may get messy, but we don’t mess around. These are creative and investigative “working camps”. Please dress your child in comfortable clothing and sneakers.
We recommend wearing our KidzArt/Club Scientific T-shirts each day to camp. We feel that wearing the t-shirts gives campers a sense of belonging, helps instructors in identifying students and will help them relate to each other. T-shirts can be ordered online.
Each full-day camper should bring two snacks, lunch, and a drink. Due to allergy concerns, no peanut products please.
Each half-day camper should bring one snack and a drink. Due to allergy concerns, no peanut products please.
Parents are amazed at what we accomplish in 5 days. At the end of the camp week, family and friends will enjoy an art/science show for all to see. Please bring a bag/box with you to take home all of the projects from the week!
There is no makeup option for missed camp days.
Each camp will be directed by a Certified KidzArt or Club Scientific Instructor, who is background checked (to meet or exceed the state mandate for teachers in Indiana). Camp instructors participate in detailed training on: curriculum expertise, classroom management, camper safety, camper-to-camper relationships and fostering self-esteem.
We are very protective of a quality experience for ALL our Campers! Inappropriate language will NOT be permitted. Fighting, teasing, bullying or any intimidation by anyone is strictly prohibited—and is cause for dismissal from camp. Good sportsmanship is always expected. Campers are expected to treat each other, the staff, and the facility with respect.
KidzArt and Club Scientific are NOT responsible for personal belongings brought to the camp. Please label all your child’s items such as lunch box, water bottle, backpack, etc.
