• • How can I get help registering for camp?

    • Parents are encouraged to register online. If you need assistance with registration, please e-mail programs@tcmupstate.org or come in person to TCMU and one of our Guest Services representatives will be happy to help! TCMU is not able to register for camp over the phone.

    • K5-2nd: Rising Kindergarten to rising 2nd graders 
    • 3rd-5th: Rising 3rd graders to rising 5th graders 

  • What will my camper do during camp?

    • Camp activities include a daily Lesson, STEAM Activity, and Free Play. Lessons and STEAM Activities are inspired by the novel Smack Dab in the Middle of Maybe by Jo Watson Hackl. Campers will also learn through play in a different exhibit each day during Free Play. The author will visit TCMU on Monday and Wednesday to lead the lessons on those days. Each camper will go home with a signed copy of Smack Dab!

  • How do I drop-off and pick-up my child? 

    • Drop Off: Campers will be dropped off in the bus lane on College St. in front of the main entrance to the museum. Please pull up along the right curb closest to the museum and a staff member will assist in getting your child out of the car. They will receive a name tag and be escorted to their teacher inside the building. Camp parents are not permitted to walk their child into the building. 
    • ​Pick Up: Camp parents will pick up their campers in the bus lane on College St. in the same fashion that they dropped off their camper earlier in the day. Provide your camper’s name to the staff member in the bus land, and your child will be escorted from the building and into your car.
