Humans aren’t the only gross ones - our arthropod friends can be pretty disgusting too! How much snot does your body make in a day? How exactly do flies eat hamburgers and is bread really made from yeast farts? All of this and more will be revealed at the Bright Night of Grossology. Although the event will last all night, guests who prefer their own bed are welcome to stay late and head home at their leisure. Select museum areas are available as sleeping quarters for families who want to experience a full night at the museum.

• Activities
Every day campers participate in a morning workout, play basketball, and ice skate. Some of our weekly activities include swimming, martial arts, hip hop dance, arts & crafts, hockey, ping pong, gymnastics, ballroom dancing, cheerleading, and skateboarding just to name a few.

• Age requirements
In order to attend Summer Sports Camp all campers must be at least 7 by the beginning of August.

• Drop Off/Pick Up
Our hours of activities are 9am until 4pm. However, we understand that most parents have busy schedules so we open our doors for drop off at 7:30am. Between 7:30 and 9am campers can play games, watch movies, color or just relax until our daily activities begin promptly at 9am. In the afternoon pick-up begins at 4pm and will last until 5:30 at which time all campers need to be picked up. If your child has not been picked up by 5:30 there will be a late charge of $1.00 per minute for every minute after 5:30. This must be paid at the time of pick up to the counselor on duty.

• Lunch/Snacks
For lunch, campers have the option to bring their lunch from home, or purchase a lunch from the snack bar. Campers may purchase only the items on the lunch list which includes chicken strips, popcorn chicken, hot dogs, hot pockets, corndogs, pizza, burritos, chips, French fries and much more. The lunch list does not include caffeinated sodas, candy and other foods that are high in sugar.

Healthy snacks will be provided every morning and afternoon. At 4:30 campers will have the opportunity to purchase a snack from the snack bar in addition to the snack they are provided. However, they are limited to spending $3.00 each day. Campers may also bring a snack from home, but we ask that snacks that are high in sugar be kept to a minimum.

For your convenience, we ask that you load a lunch/snack card with money that we will run each day. This way your child does not risk losing their lunch money. With the purchase of a lunch/snack card we are able to provide you with an accurate balance as well as a record of what your child purchases each day. Furthermore, if you wish to, you may place restrictions on what your child can purchase with their lunch/snack card.
