+ Do I need to pack a lunch?
Students that are staying for Full Day S.T.E.A.M. Camp(s) or 2 Half Day Sepcialty camps need to be provided with a packed lunch with a cold pack (if needed).

Snacks are provided during our morning and afternoon snack break, but parents are welcome to send additional snacks with their children.

All refunds carry a $25 cancellation fee. If you choose a transfer or credit towards future classes or camps, this fee is waived.

+ My child has already attended a camp. Can they do it again?
Absolutely! We pride ourselves on consistently creative and unique lesson plans, and we almost never repeat the same exact camp twice. We have almost 600 unique lesson plans to choose from across myriad STEAM topics. Even if we did, our projects are so open ended that children could complete the same project 10 times and end up with 10 different results, and would increase in confidence and ability each time. Futher, children tend to love the familiarity of having done a camp or lesson before, knowing that they have some special knowledge about the topic that they may be able to share. Children will always grown and learn as a part of a Full STEAM Ahead camp, even if they’re doing it for the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time.
