Camp Policies
Camp Behavior: Please discuss respectful and cooperative behavior with your child. Our educators reserve the right to dismiss a student for reoccurring inappropriate or disruptive behavior. Behavior-related dismissals will not be refunded.
Arrival/Pick-Up: Children should arrive no earlier than 5 minutes before the program begins as there is no supervision before that time. Please be prompt in picking up your child after the program. There will be a charge of $5 per 5 minutes for each student that remains more than 10 minutes after a program. Please list all adults authorized for pick-up on your registration form. Non-authorized adults are not permitted to sign your children out of camp.
Media Consent: By entering the Museum facility and/or participating in a Museum activity or event, you consent and authorize without restriction or compensation to the possible use of your child's and/or accompanying group's image appearing in photograph, audio, video, or other formats which may be included in future media or marketing. If your child’s image cannot be utilized due to safety/privacy concerns, it is your responsibility to notify us prior to the start of camp.
Water, Snacks, and Lunch: Camp participants should bring a reusable water bottle. All participants must bring a lunch. Snacks are provided once for campers.
Restroom Independent: Camp participants must be able to initiate use of the restroom and use the toilet without assistance.
Independent Experience: Our camps are facilitated by trained educators and assistants. Your child will enjoy building confidence and building relationships with other campers. Chaperones are not able to attend, for the flow of our programs, and for the safety of our campers.

What if my child requires additional assistance?
Children of all abilities are encouraged to participate in our camps and classes. In order to ensure a fun and safe experience for your child, please inform us if your child has any special needs. The FLIP Museum does not provide 1:1 supervision for participants needing assistance with personal care; however, personal aides* are welcome to attend camp or classes upon completion of a background check. Fees for this check are the responsibility of the parent/guardian of the child. If you would like to inquire further please email our staff at info@flipmuseum.org.
The FLIP Museum reserves the right to refuse request of 1:1 supervision for participants.
