What are the age/grade requirements of your camps?
Our current camp offerings are for rising grades PK-7th. Please note that children entering PK3 in the fall are not eligible to attend, as our PreK & Kindergarten camps are designed for 4 and 5 year olds (Must be 4 before the summer camp season).
Club SciKidz carefully considers the grade range for each course as we receive feedback from our instructors, parents, and campers. Our policy is to allow you to take a course for the rising grade level your child will reach when they start the following school year.
Example: If you see a course for grades 1-3 and your child is currently in second grade and will be a third grader by the fall, you can register your child for that course.
Posted in: Camp Pricing, Hours & Information
Can you make an exception to your age requirements?
Since we have taken into account many considerations in matching our age groups and camp themes, we generally like to adhere to those requirements. Please remember that an age group contains not only a certain intellectual and skill set, but also a certain level of social maturity. These requirements allow Club SciKidz to meet the needs of each camper.
Please be aware of our refund policy. Transferring after the week of camp has started, to a different camp due to age appropriateness or skill level, must take place within that same week of camp and is contingent on available room in the newly desired camp. There is also a $10 transfer fee for all camp transfers.
