Classroom Antics programs are created for ages 7 – 14. When a child’s age is close to the age requirements for a camp, we then look to grade. For example, programs that have an age requirement of 7 years old, we require campers have completed 1st grade prior to camp.

Summer camps are half-day format, either from 9 am – 12 pm or 1 pm – 4 pm. If you register your child for both a morning and an afternoon program, send them with lunch, two snacks, and water, each day. Instructors stay on-site with the children, and there is no additional charge for that hour, it is just a convenience we offer to our full-day campers. Do not plan on refrigeration or a microwave at camp. Most of the time they are not available to us.

Students can be can dropped-off up to 15 minutes before a summer program and picked-up up to 15 minutes after a summer program. We do not offer extended care.

We have a sign-in/sign out procedure for parents each day. As long as the same person who’s dropping off the student is the same person picking them up, there is nothing you need to do. However, if there is a different person dropping off vs. picking up, then please let the instructor know when the camper arrives.

No. Campers are to bring a snack for each camp they attend, as we take a 10-15 minute break half-way through each morning and afternoon session. Snack-time is supervised by their teacher.

Classroom Antics programs are created for ages 7 – 14. Children within this age range that have high functioning special needs are welcome. Call us at 800-595-3776 X1 to evaluate if our instructors can provide the proper environment for your child and the other children in the class.

Our camp instructors are almost entirely professional educators from local schools. Some educators have long-term substitution or student-teaching experience. All of our camp instructors have an educational background or degree in teaching. They are also knowledgeable and interested in STEM. In addition, they have experience in educating kids and believe in our mission to empower every child to find their own passions and purpose.

Our camp managers are veteran Classroom Antics teachers and available to step in to help teach camp. Camps have a lead instructor and all camp locations are monitored by a camp manager. All staff goes through training and background checked before teaching or managing to ensure the safest environment possible.

Classes are held in local community buildings, schools, recreation centers, youth centers, churches, temples, libraries and banquet halls that are close to home.

No, there is not any religious content in our programs. Churches, synagogues, and other religious buildings have convenient classroom space and have been great partners to our STEAM programs, but we do not deliver any religious messages in our programs.

No. Classroom Antics provides all computer and tech equipment for the entire camp. Students do not need to bring their own computer, as each child will have equipment provided to them for use during the camp.

When possible, campers are permitted to take home the digital products they create on a complimentary USB flash drive. When camp software is free to the public, it will be provided on the USB and also from our post-camp links.  Campers will not be able to take home the computers, webcams, robotics or other equipment. Pictures of campers and classroom projects are shared on the Classroom Antics App. Only families registered for that camp have access to the pictures. You can download photos you want to keep.

Programs are non-refundable unless Cancellation Insurance is purchased during registration.

Gift credit can be used by any camper within one year of the date credit was given.

Parents may alter their child’s program registration in any way within 24 hours of original registration, regardless if Cancellation Insurance is purchased or not during registration. This includes adding or removing any optional add-ons, or withdrawing from a program entirely and receiving a full refund. This policy may be invoked once per year per family. **For additional protection, Cancellation Insurance may be purchased during registration, giving parents the ability to cancel a program for any reason before the start of a program and receive 100% of their program fee as a refund.

Cancellation Insurance is an optional add-on that may be purchased during registration that allows you to cancel a program, for any reason, up to the start date of a program, and receive 100% of your program fee back, less any discounts that were applied during check-out. It is important to note that Cancellation Insurance may only be exercised BEFORE a program begins. Even with Cancellation Insurance, program fees are non-refundable after a program begins.

Program discounts may also be transferred, even if the promotion used expired before the time of the transfer. Transfers are only available on programs that have not yet started.

If Cancellation Insurance was included in the original program’s registration, it will automatically be transferred to the new program’s registration. Cancellation Insurance may not be added during a transfer if it wasn’t purchased on the original program registration. If a difference in price exists between the two programs, payment will be collected during the transfer. If the new program fee is less, a Classroom Antics gift credit will be issued in the amount of the difference. The gift credit is kept on file at Classroom Antics and will expire 24 months from the date of the issue. The gift credit may be used towards a future Classroom Antics program.

Gift credits are processed as a refund if Cancellation Insurance was purchased on the original program’s registration.

Full payment is required during registration.

Our registration system detects sold-out programs and creates a WAITLIST for parents to register. This is a free waitlist. We recommend that if you want a particular program and can attend a similar Classroom Antics program close by, sign-up for the nearby program and then WAITLIST for your preferred program. Classroom Antics can transfer you to the closer program IF it becomes available and you notify us of your desire to transfer before it becomes filled.

If your computer settings prevent browser pop up windows by third party cookies, then you will not be able to complete payment securely. So, payment is prevented. You can correct this by checking your browser settings to disable the pop-up blocker. Sometimes you can “Allow” the pop-up in that moment, and it will work. Otherwise, how you change your pop-up settings will vary depending on the browser you use. What is the easiest solution? Call 800-595-3776 X 1. We will gladly help you get registered by phone.
