Medical Information/Health Policies

Please do not allow your child to participate if they have a fever or other contagious diseases. If your child becomes ill during camp, you will be notified and requested to pick them up as soon as possible. Museum staff cannot administer medication of any kind, unless arrangements are made prior to camp. The Museum asks for your assistance in identifying any health or behavioral concerns that would prevent your child from participating in certain activities.

Disciplinary Policy

The safety and enjoyment of our campers is very important to us. Because we believe in setting clear expectations and using common language, our behavior expectations and disciplinary policies reflect those used in Lincoln Public Schools. We require all campers to be safe, respectful and responsible. These behaviors are recognized and reinforced through PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention Support) a process through which positive behavior expectations are defined, taught, practiced and reinforced. If behavior expectations are not met by our campers, we follow the BIST philosophy (Behavior Intervention Support Team) through the use of a safe seat and thinking sheets. If a campers behavior is deemed unsafe they will be removed from camp and no refund will be issued.
