Please send your camper with the following:

If the weather allows, campers will spend time outside each day to play games or participate in STEAM activities. In the event of unsafe weather, campers will not go outside.  

STEAM STARZ reserves the right to remove a camper from any current or future program without refund if the camper's behavior is unsafe, aggressive, or significantly disruptive to the learning environment. 

Refunds for medical requests may be considered on a case-by case basis. 

Due to advance planning, staffing, facility reservations, and the purchase of program supplies, all registrations are final and refunds are not available once registration is complete.

Refunds will not be issued for missed days, illness, scheduling conflicts, personal preference, dismissal from a program, or dissatisfaction with a participant's individual experience.

If STEAM STARZ cancels a program, families will receive a full refund or the option to transfer their registration to another available program.

During camp students are given guidelines at the start of each day to help keep everyone safe, learning, and having fun.

We follow the STEAM STARZ guidelines:

• Be Kind to Others
• Be Safe in the Classroom
• Try New Skills
• Use Materials Appropriately
• Use Listening Ears 

STEAM STARZ reserves the right to dismiss any student from our camps due to excessive disruptive behavior, safety concerns, or violent actions. 

STEAM STARZ reserves the right to remove a camper from any current or future program without refund if the camper's behavior is unsafe, aggressive, or significantly disruptive to the learning environment. 

STEAM STARZ and community programs will not tolerate bullying in any program or activity, and staff will do all they reasonably can to create a safe space for participants, regardless of an individual's age, color, denomination, origin, race, religion, political beliefs, identity, appearance, socioeconomic status, and family status. 

If you are bringing any medication to camp with your child (including rescue inhalers and EpiPens), you must adhere to the following guidelines:

• Morning/evening dose of medications should be given before or after your child attends camp. Only medications with a dosage schedule that cannot be adjusted for camp hours should be administered during the day.
• ALL medications must be given to a Camp Instructor by an adult. Prescription medications must be in the child’s name and in its original bottle. Adult should advise whether the medication should be returned at the end of each day or stay at the Zoo for the duration of camp.
• A medication authorization form must be filled out completely for each medication to be administrated at camp.
• We will NOT administer medication without a completed form until we are able to reach a parent by phone.
• All medications must be in their original packaging and labeled with appropriate prescription, dosing and/or pharmaceutical information. Liquid medication must be accompanied with an appropriate measuring cup/syringe.
• We must have the child’s first and last name and exact time medication is to be given.
• We are unable to accept damaged/expired medications or loose medicine in unmarked packaging or give medication on an “as needed” basis.
