Maumus STEAM Summer Camp Rules

Maumus Center STEAM Camp 2025 CAMP RULES

 

DROP-OFF & PICK-UP 

  • The camp time is 8 A.M. until 3 P.M. NO BEFORE CARE OR AFTER CARE WILL BE PROVIDED. Campers will not be allowed into the building until 8 A.M.
  • The final pick-up time is 3:00 P.M.
  • All campers must be checked IN and OUT by their parent/legal guardian or authorized persons designated on the child’s Registration Form. 
  • If an individual other than one noted on the registration form will pick up the camper, please send a note in advance listing the person’s name.  We will ask to see a photo ID of the person picking up the camper when they sign the camper out.
  • Campers are expected to remain at the camp for the entire day. Checkouts will only be allowed for emergency situations.

 

GENERAL GUIDELINES 

  • A safe, fun environment will be maintained at all times. In order to maintain this environment, campers are expected to follow all directions of the camp leaders. All activities/experiments will be conducted in an orderly manner and will require the full attention of all campers.
  • DRESS CODE: Campers need to dress comfortably.  Please remember that we will be conducting experiments and sometimes things to do spill.  We try our best to avoid spills onto clothing but sometimes it happens. Campers must wear closed toe shoes. Sometimes we will be going outside in the rocky area of the gardens. A light jacket is suggested-some rooms are colder than others. 
  • Behavior that may cause an accident, injury, or that may cause a disturbance/disruption within the camp environment will not be tolerated. On-going/continued discipline problems will result in the camper being removed from the activity and/or the camper’s removal from the Summer Camp Program. 
  • For the health of all campers and staff, we ask that children who are sick not attend camp. If a child gets sick at camp, staff will contact the parent/guardian and ask that the camper be picked up immediately. The child must be clear of the illness/fever for a complete 24 hours before returning to camp. 
  • As part of the camp experience, campers will participate in an interactive planetarium presentation followed by a Full Dome (360) Video.  The sounds in the video can be loud.  Please notify the camp staff if your child has problems with loud sounds, sudden movements on TV screens, or bright lights.  

FOR ANY AND ALL EMERGENCIES: 

  • 911 will be called, followed by a call to the camper’s parent/legal guardian. 
  • If your child requires daily medicine, please make sure it is taken before arriving at camp, or make arrangements with the Camp Director for you to visit the camp during the day to administer the medicine to your child. Medications are not administered by the staff at the camp.

LUNCH/SNACK:

  • Campers will have a 30-minute lunchtime. 
  • Lunch and a morning snack will be provided for campers daily.  
  • Please check out the daily menu to ensure that your child is comfortable eating the food being served.  You can find the lunch menu on the Maumus website. Campers may bring their own lunch; however, we do not have facilities to refrigerate or warm up any meals being sent with campers.

We would love to include photos of y0ur camper on our webpage and in the local papers.  Please make sure that you sign the photo release form for us by checking off the appropriate box if you agree to this.

The Maumus Center and/or the St.Bernard Parish School System will not be responsible for any lost or stolen items. We require that campers leave all cell phones, tablets, iPods/iPads, video games, toys, or other personal items at home, unless otherwise approved by the Camp Director. The camp day is full of activities, so these items are not necessary. A phone is always available for campers, should they need to contact a parent/guardian. 
Parents/guardians are required to initial  the registration form that they have read and reviewed and understand the information included on this sheet with their camper. REFUNDS WILL NOT BE GIVEN FOR ANY REASON.
