BEHAVIOR POLICYIn order to make the experience of our programs a positive one for all students and staff, we have established a policy to manage behavior incidents that involve chronic disruption of classes and/or safety. We reserve the right to remove students who do not adhere to our behavior policy which is available online at smm.org/classes/policies.

LUNCH If your child is attending a full day camp or 2 half-day camps in the same week, lunch supervision is provided at no extra charge. Campers must bring a bag lunch with a drink. No refrigeration is available. Campers are not allowed to use the vending machines or museum restaurants.

SNACKSAll camps include a 15 minute snack/play break. Due to allergies and dietary restrictions, the Science Museum does not provide snacks to campers. Please send snacks in your child’s lunch bag if you so choose.

WHAT TO BRING AND WEARThe museum is not responsible for lost, missing, or damaged personal items.

• If attending camps or classes all day, bring a bag lunch and a drink.

• Wear close-toed shoes and comfortable clothing that can get messy.

• Shoes with wheels are prohibited at the museum and in museum programs.

• Please leave valuables like collectible cards and personal electronics at home.

• If your child has an inhaler or epi pen, please have a method for them to keep it on them at all times and note it on your registration form.
