Can my child bring a cell phone or game device?
We ask that parents NOT pack cell phones and other electronic devices. Cell phones, games, and other devices that are visible and used during camp activities or times other than appropriate call times may be confiscated until the end of the day. Anyone bringing a device must understand this policy and keep the item in backpacks or locked in the Education department.

• Rocket launches are held Friday mornings starting at 9:30 am, depending on weather conditions, on the upper parking lot below the Museum. Rocket trajectories are unpredictable, so there is no guarantee that the cadet’s rocket can be recovered. Parking is at your own risk.
• Graduation will be held immediately following rocket launch activities on the first floor of the Museum. Cookies and punch will be served. Rocketeers will receive graduation certificates and retrieve all of their projects from their instructor and/or assistants.

NOTE: We reserve the right to cancel a session date if participation numbers are inadequate. You may select an alternative date or you may request a full refund of tuition paid should this occur.
