Camp Policies:
Space is limited and advance payment is required for all camps. Days campers miss are not transferable to another date and no partial refund is given for absence. In the event of extreme circumstances that prevent your child from attending camp you may submit a request to withdraw. Camp fees from days attended will be withheld in additions to a $25 handling fee.

We are committed to providing a safe and supervised environment for all campers. We keep parents informed of all situations and do our best to work out difficulties if they arise. If a camper continues to have difficulty adapting to the camp program, we reserve the right to cancel that individual’s camp session.

The Louisville Science Center reserves the right to cancel sessions due to insufficient enrollment, in which case a full refund will be issued.
