Join SPECTRUM OF SCIENCE with zip, zing and bling this summer!!!

FAQ:

1. Will you guarantee that friends/siblings be enrolled in the same camp? Yes, Spectrum of Science will guarantee children will be placed in the same group. As a small nonprofit, we believe in children being placed together!!

2. Why does the same topic have a different cost at different sites? The price difference is the fee the different facilities charge Spectrum of Science. Spectrum of Science charges less than $10/hour for outstanding hands on science where every child gets to build, test, experiment with his/her own supplies as well as take home his/her own project.

3. Can the discount be shared by siblings? Yes, the discounts are calculated by family and as long as 1 check or 1 credit charge is used, the discount is good for all children!!

4. Are all ages together? Yes, at most sites children are divided when there are enough students to create more than 1 group. Spectrum of Science teaches using the 1 room school house philosophy where we discuss the topic as a group and then get our hands on. Extension activities and challenge activities are then introduced to any child that has completed the initial build or test. This way no child is stressed just to get done and no child is bored waiting for others. We stress small groups (average 12 kids) and lots of teacher support. All camps will have at least 2 staff. No HUGE camps here!!

5. Do you offer overnight camps? No, except when we do a custom camp and then we will work with you to create a camp that fits your needs, times, dates, location and topics.

6. What is a custom camp? A custom camp is where we work with you to create a camp specific to your needs and interest. You select the topic, location, date and time and Spectrum of Science will bring everything to you (and you save the facility fee).

7. What is your refund policy? Cancellation Policy: If you need to cancel, you must notify us in writing (email is ok) at least two weeks in advance and we will attempt to fill your slot from our waiting list. If we are able to fill your slot, we will refund the program cost minus a $25 cancellation fee. If we are unable to fill the slot, we cannot refund any portion of the program fee. No refund will be given if cancelled less than 8 days before the start of a camp.

8. Will the children eat any of the experiments? No, due to food allergies and dislikes, Spectrum of Science does not eat any of our experiments.

9. What should my child bring to camp? Backpack or bag, snack (NO NUTS PLEASE) a drink and EXCITEMENT!!
