School Age Camps
From dinosaurs and detectives to superheroes and STEAM, we’ve got the perfect camp to capture your kid’s imagination!
About our camps
Explore & More’s school-age day camp programs are offered on select designated school holidays and school break weeks. Our programs are led by our professional Educators. We are licensed and regulated by New York State Office of Child & Family Services. Fun, hands-on experiences will spark creativity, imagination, and exploration as children participate in planned thematic academic activities and venture throughout the museum to play and learn in the exhibits.
Camps fill up quickly and spaces are limited, so reserve your child’s spot today! If a program is full, call us at 716-655-5131 ext. 3 or email education@exploreandmore.org to be added to a waitlist.
Explore & More Day Camps will follow all OCFS and CDC guidelines for safe play.
I understand, Explore & More requires the following:
- Provide a form for parents to fill out authorizing who is allowed to pick up your child. Please note all people picking up campers will need to show an ID.
- All campers should wear socks and sneakers, as well as play clothes daily.
- Your child will not be allowed to attend camp if they have COVID-19 symptoms, including a temperature above 100.4 degrees.
- Parents will drop off and pick up children at the First Floor Security Desk. Only those adults that are on the Authorized Pick Up Sheet and provide a picture ID will be allowed to pick up children.
- Museum staff will be implementing periodic hand washing throughout the day.
- We will not serve any food, including snacks. We will maintain a designated lunch time, allow for snack breaks, and facilitate hand washing and social distancing during all mealtimes. Please make sure to pack a lunch, snack, and water bottle for your camper (no refrigeration available).
- Only campers, staff, and volunteers will be permitted in classrooms.
- Museum staff will be sanitizing exhibits in between each group.
