FAQ

1) What ages or grades are your camps designed for?

Our summer camps are designed for rising grades 5–8. Each camp page includes any additional age or skill notes if needed.

2) Does my child need prior experience?

No. Most camps are designed so beginners can join successfully. Students with prior experience can often extend or personalize their projects.

3) What will my child actually make or learn?

Each camp is built around real hands-on work and a finished outcome. Depending on the course, students may build a video game, design and print 3D models, construct a robot, cook dishes, build a woodworking project, or complete hands-on chemistry activities.

4) Do students take home what they make?

Usually, yes. Most camps include take-home projects, digital files, or finished creations. Specific take-home items are listed in each course description.

5) What should my child bring each day?

Please send your child with:

• a water bottle

• a packed NUT-free lunch

• a snack

• a jacket or light layer

• clothing suitable for active, hands-on work

6) What should students wear?

Comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes are recommended for all camps. Closed-toe shoes are especially important for camps involving tools, cooking, robotics, or chemistry activities.

7) Are materials included?

Yes, unless a separate materials fee is listed for that camp. Any materials fee applies only to the specific course where it is listed.

8) How much supervision is there?

Students are supervised directly at all times by a minimum of 2 instructors, with more staff on site. Class sizes are capped at 16. Safety expectations are taught before students begin using tools, equipment, or materials.

9) Can my child join a friend in the same camp?

Yes, as long as both students are registered for the same camp. Friend requests should be made before camp begins. We will do our best, though exact group placement cannot always be guaranteed.

10) What if my child misses a day?

Because many camps build toward a final project over several days, missed time can be hard to fully replace. We do not offer prorating, refunds, or makeup sessions for missed days, though in rare cases involving serious illness or family emergency, accommodations may be considered at our discretion.

11) What is your cancellation or refund policy?

Refund amounts depend on when the cancellation is made. Cancellations 30 or more days before camp receive a full refund minus a cancellation fee; cancellations made closer to the start date may receive only a partial refund. Please see our Enrollment & Payment page for full details.
