Camp Policies:
- Please review camp descriptions and grade-level requirements carefully. Campers who do not meet grade-level requirements will have their registrations cancelled.
- A limited number of scholarships are available.
- Please disclose any physical limitations, allergies, learning, or behavioral issues on your registration form. This is helpful to our education staff to ensure that your child has a successful and safe week of camp!
- Camp registration includes camp instruction and activities daily and supervised breaks on the Lancaster Science Factory exhibit floor.
- Campers who are staying for a full day must come with a packed lunch. We are a nut-free facility.
- Registration for each camp is limited and will close when the maximum is reached or 5 days prior to the start of camp, whichever comes first.
- Campers may be dropped off no earlier than 15 minutes before the start of camp. They must be picked up no later than 15 minutes after the end of camp. The Lancaster Science Factory will charge a late pickup fee of $10 per camper for any pickups that occur later than 15 minutes after the end of camp.
- Photo ID is REQUIRED to pick up a camper. The person MUST appear on the approved pick-up list provided by the parent or guardian at registration.
- Cancellations (by the registrant) received less than two weeks prior to day one of camp will be subject to a refund of 1/2 of the total registration cost for that camp. Cancellations received prior to that shall receive a full refund. Camps canceled by the Lancaster Science Factory for ANY reason will be refunded fully.
