Summer Camp Satellite Sites
The Miami Museum of Science will conduct some upper grade level classes at satellite sites to accommodate our growing numbers. Toddler through Grade 3 programs are held at the Museum unless otherwise noted. Many full-day programs for Grades 4 through 8 are held off-site at outdoor locations. These classes include: Adventures in the Atlantic, Blown Away, Environmental Explorers, Hook, Line, and Sinker, Life Between the Tides, Museum 101, South Florida Field Trips, Strike Zone, and Urban Trail Trekkers. All campers begin the day at the Museum; Transportation is provided to all off-site locations.
T-shirts are available for $10.00.
Sun Protection and Drinking Water
Many camp classes take place outdoors or involve outdoor activities. Pleaseremember to prepare campers with hats, insect repellent, drinking water and sunscreen to protect against the hot Florida sun.
Lunch
All-day classes have a lunch break, from 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Please send food that does not require refrigeration, and put camper’s name on lunch bag or box. Snack and beverage vending machines are available at the Museum. Each Friday morning campers may place an order for a slice of pizza at $2 a slice.
Campers attending classes at Southside Elementary or any off-site location must bring their lunch as these sites do not have food services.
Supervised lunch is only for campers staying all day. Please pick up your campers promptly at 11:45 a.m. if they are not scheduled for an afternoon class.
Rainy Days
In the event of rainy weather, students enrolled in outdoor classes at all sites will be engaged in indoor activities. We cannot give tuition refunds due to weather.
Fourth of July
Camp will be closed the week of Independence Day (June 29 to July 3, 2009).
Museum T-Shirt
Order your Museum T-shirt when you register. Our T-shirts are always popular and fun to wear. They’re printed on heavyweight cotton and priced at just $10 each.
Cancelled Classes, Class Changes & Withdrawals
We don’t like to cancel any classes; however, because each class is self-supporting, we must establish a minimum enrollment and cancel those classes that do not meet this minimum. If we must cancel your class, we will contact you to inform you of other classes available.
If a student withdraws before class begins, a Museum credit (but no refund) will be given, minus a $10 processing fee per class. This credit is good for one year from date of issue and may be applied to classes or Museum membership. If any billing adjustments are necessary, please submit your request in writing before July 31st, 2009. In case of rain, campers will participate in appropriate indoor-related, hands-on activities. Changing classes is permitted, if space allows; however, there is a $10 processing fee for each class change.
Tuition
All fees must be paid at time of registration via credit card (if online).
For Sibling Discount, pay full amount for registrant with highest total tuition, then deduct 15% from the tuition of each additional brother or sister. If you wish to take advantage of the sibling discount, you MUST do so at the time of your initial registration. PLEASE NOTE: Discount applies to tuition portion only, not to pre- and post-camp activities, transportation or T-shirts. Cousins, nieces, nephews or friends are ineligible.
