Where do I take my child?
Classroom assignments for each day of camp will be posted in the lobby of the Children's Education Area. A different topic is taught in each of the classrooms. Campers will change classrooms and topics every day of camp.
Safety procedures for arriving and leaving camp
For your child’s safety all campers MUST be escorted to and from their camp room by a parent or guardian and signed in and out EVERY DAY. While we realize that leaving your contact information each day may not always be convenient, in the event of an emergency we wish to have the most recent contact information for you.
May parents stay in the classroom?
If you feel that your child is unable to remain in camp without you, it may be best to wait a year before you send him/her to camp. Our week-long camps are supervised by education professionals and aim to promote independent learning and socialization.
What are the qualifications of your teachers and assistants?
All of our teachers are certified school teachers or science professionals. The majority of our assistant teachers are parents of campers. The children in our youth volunteer program are former campers and former participants.
How are campers supervised?
Campers are supervised at all times and are escorted on restroom breaks by WOW! Science Camp staff.
Who can I contact during the day if I need to leave an emergency message concerning my child?
Please call the Children's Ministry Desk at 281-297-5951 or and a staff member will deliver your message to the appropriate person.
What can I do to help WOW! Science Camp?
As you can imagine, it takes a lot of people to manage over 1000 children. We appreciate any help you can give us! Even if you can only spare 1-2 hours during the week, we would be very grateful! Please consider the options listed below, and indicate your preference on the reverse side of the registration form. Nursery care is not available during your volunteer hours.
Assistant Teachers: We encourage mothers, fathers, and grandparents to work as an assistant teacher during their child’s session. Your salary pays for the tuition of one child plus a little extra. Parents with young babies may want to wait to assist another year since perfect attendance at both the training session and camp dates is very important to the class. Nursery care for children of Assistant Teachers is not available.
Workroom Volunteers: There is much to be done in the teacher workroom during science camp! You may be making play dough, photocopying lab sheets, or helping prepare other projects for our campers. You may also assist with snack preparation, ordinary kitchen maintenance, or run a quick errand.
Snack Volunteers: If you would enjoy contributing a snack for your child’s classroom, please send 20 snack bags (individual servings) of pretzels or goldfish to his/her class on the first day of camp.
Camp Set-up & Take-down Volunteers: “All hands on deck” – We need moms and dads who can help with setting up our fantastic science-themed rooms. We have a short time to put together rooms that encourage children’s natural curiosity about science and learning, and we want to make the most of this opportunity!
