• More than 7 business days before the program’s start date: 100% refund of program price, minus a $50 cancellation fee.
• 7 business days or less before the program’s start date: 50% refund of program price.

We are "Nut Aware"

Science Venture is a "Nut Aware" facility. This means we kindly request families to refrain from sending campers with nut products in their bags. However, we cannot guarentee that nuts/peanuts will not be in our programs in your campers classroom. For this reason, please remind your camper not to share their food.

Anaphylaxis Prevention Strategy

*NEW FOR 2026: Please be aware that our Anaphylaxis Prevention Strategy will be integrated into our new registration site. This process applies to all EpiPen users. During camp season, camper bags containing EpiPens will be clearly marked with flagging tape.
