Family policies

We ask your written permission before we share any photo of your child, on this site, in newsletters or on social media, and you can change your answer at any time. We never put a child's name with a photo, and the photos on this site are examples until we replace them with our own.

Closed-toe shoes, a hat and a light jacket, since the lab is kept cool. Clothes that can take glue, paint and grass are best. We supply every kit, tool and board.

An adult on your list signs your camper in and out at the lab door every day and shows photo ID until we know them. If someone new is coming, tell us in writing before that day.

Please keep your camper home with a fever, and until they feel well again. If a camper feels ill at camp, we call you, and a counselor stays with them until you arrive.

Campers bring a lunch and a snack from home, and we keep water bottles filled. Tell us about allergies at registration; we ask what we need privately and plan the lunch room around it.

Camp is closed for the Juneteenth holiday. When heat, wind or lightning changes the day, we move the work or the launch and text families before camp starts.

Phones and watches stay at home. Campers use camp laptops and boards for the work, and you can always reach your camper through the camp phone.
