It depends on the need. When registering, the parent needs to be transparent about the students special needs and then we work with the parent directly to see if we can accommodate.
Does Explore Camp registration include entrance to the Creation Museum?
No. Explore Camp registration does not include admission to the Creation Museum. You may purchase tickets online or on the day of the event at the ticketing booth.
How are the children grouped during Explore Camp? Can my children who are different ages stay together?
Children are all in the same classroom and grouped in teams by age, which allows us to academically challenge each group appropriately. However, there is often some overlap. While we cannot guarantee they will be together, we do our best to accommodate the request. In situations where there is a large age gap, the older child will be grouped with the younger child.
Can my child walk from the parking lot to the museum by themselves?
No. An adult is required to accompany all Explore campers to the classroom, sign them in, and sign them out at the end of the day.
