Transformations

Camp Policies

By enrolling your camper in camp at MoMath, you agree to the following policies and grant the following permission to the Museum:

Camp Policies

  1.  Transformations begins at 9:00 am and ends at 3:00 pm daily, Monday through Friday.
    • Early drop-off is not offered.  Doors will open at 9:00 am.  Adult chaperones will wait with their campers until doors open.  All campers must be signed in by an adult chaperone, unless that camper has a Dismissal Release Waiver on file with MoMath.
    • Late pick-up options extend to 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm and will carry an additional fee.  These options must be purchased in advance.  Single-day extensions may be available (not guaranteed) with at least 24-hours advance notice via email to summercamp@momath.org and must be confirmed by the camp director.
    • A five-minute grace period will be granted at dismissal.  To minimize disruptions to the camp schedule, MoMath will assess late fees of $50 for every 30 minutes or portion thereof that an authorized adult is late to pick up a camper.  This amount is payable immediately in the Additions, the shop at MoMath, before departure.  Parents/guardians, please make sure your caregivers are fully aware of this policy and that they are provided with the means to provide prompt payment on your behalf as needed.
    • An adult must be at MoMath to pick up each camper every day.  Campers will not be permitted to leave the premises without an adult unless that camper has attended middle school and has submitted a signed camp dismissal release waiver.
    • MoMath does not typically provide lunch for campers.  Each camper is expected to bring their own lunch and an optional snack.  In the case of financial need, please contact MoMath.  Please note: Transformations is a nut-free environment; please do not bring lunch or snacks containing tree nuts or peanuts to camp.
    • Acceptable footwear for campers are closed-toe shoes.
  2. MoMath has a strict no-tipping policy.  If you wish to express gratitude to any of the staff who work with your camper, please consider making a donation to the museum in honor of that staffer.  All donations are tax-deductible.
  3. MoMath must have all relevant health and medical information for your camper.  Your signature below confirms that all such information has been provided.  Please note: MoMath does not have a nurse or other medical professional on the premises.
  4. Camp activities may take place outside of the Museum, including and beyond Madison Square Park.  Adequate and appropriate supervision will be provided for all offsite trips.  By enrolling your camper in Transformations, you give permission for your camper to participate in any and all offsite trips from the Museum.
  5. MoMath cannot provide refunds, credits, or make-up days for any reason
