Camp FAQS
What does my child need to bring?
A packed lunch, two snacks, and clothes that they can get messy in!
Do I need to register for the entire week?
Yes, MOSI camps are only offered on a per week basis. For camps that run more than one week you have the option of signing up for one week or multiple weeks.
How old does my child need to be for camp?
MOSI offers camps to children kindergarten through eighth grade. Camps are divided by age level. Students who have not yet started kindergarten are not old enough for camp.
Can someone else pick up my child?
You can designate other adults to pickup your child on your camp registration form. ANY adult picking up a child needs to have a photo ID for staff to compare against your approved list of adults.
What does a typical day look like for campers?
While ever camp's schedule is slightly different, but in general students have a full day of themed science activities broken up by a morning snack time, lunch, recess, and an afternoon snack time. Occasionally during the week, counselors may take their group to enjoy MOSI's exhibits as well.
