Q: Are Jr. Explorers divided into teams?
A: No. Jr. Explorers complete the day’s activities with their accompanying adult. This a great way to spend time together as a family!

A: No. However, for the best experience during the program, we suggest no more than three children per adult.

Q: Can I bring children under the minimum age?
A: No. As accompanying adults will be participating in the program with their child, we are not able to accommodate children who are not attendees.

Q: I would love to bring a group of students from my co-op class. If I attend as a teacher, does a parent still need to accompany each child?
A: Yes, a parent will need to accompany each child. Explore Jr. is designed for the parent and child to enjoy together and offers opportunity for parents to reinforce what they learned together in everyday moments.

Q: How is Explore Camp structured
A: Each day is topic specific and consists of three interactive sessions. Each session includes a hands-on lab, project, activity, or scavenger hunt to assist the children in applying or reviewing what they have learned.

Q: Registration on the website is closed. Can you put me on the waiting list? Will you open additional seats for a sold-out Explore Jr. Camp?
A: As we receive so few cancellations, we have not found a need to create a waiting list. Due to classroom size, we are unable to open additional seats for Explore Jr. Camp.
