Frequently Asked Questions About Science Camps in Sandy
Camp Registration & Logistics
What ages can attend Little Beakers science camps in Sandy?
Little Beakers Sandy camps accommodate a range of ages. Contact the Sandy location for age recommendations for specific camp themes.
How do I register my child for science camps at the Sandy location?
Registration is available online at littlebeakers.com or by calling 1-833-KIDS-LAB. Summer camps fill quickly, so we recommend registering 2-3 months in advance, especially for popular themes like paleontology, marine biology, and robotics.
What are your camp hours and drop-off/pick-up procedures at Sandy?
Camp hours vary by session. Drop-off begins 10-15 minutes before start time, and pick-up must occur promptly at end time. Parents/guardians must sign children in and out daily for safety.
What should my child bring to camp each day?
Campers should bring a water bottle and comfortable clothes that can get messy. Little Beakers considers common allergens when selecting snack items. If your camper has dietary restrictions, please send appropriate options for snack time. Little Beakers provides snacks, juice, lab coats, safety glasses, all experiment materials, and take-home project supplies. We recommend closed-toe shoes for laboratory safety.
Scheduling & Availability
When do summer camps run at the Sandy location?
Summer camps run approximately June 1 through August 22nd at Little Beakers Sandy. A complete summer schedule with available dates, themes, and remaining spots is available on the Sandy website. Popular themes like Paleontology and Marine Biology fill 4-6 weeks in advance.
Do you offer camps during school breaks besides summer?
Yes! Little Beakers Sandy offers Spring Break camps (5-day programs in March/April), Thanksgiving camps (3-4 days), Christmas break camps (3-5 days), and New Year’s camps (3-5 days). Holiday camps often feature seasonal themes.
What happens if my child is sick and misses a camp day?
If your child misses a camp day due to illness, contact the Sandy location to discuss make-up options. Depending on enrollment and space availability, we may accommodate make-up attendance during a future session of the same theme. However, make-ups are not guaranteed for full camps. We cannot offer refunds for individual missed days.
Can siblings attend camp together even if they're different ages?
Yes! Most camp themes accommodate mixed ages (typically 5-13) in the same session, allowing siblings to attend together. Staff adapts instruction and experiment complexity to suit different developmental levels. Some specialized camps may have age minimums (typically 10+), but most themes work well for elementary and middle school siblings together.
Camp Curriculum & Activities
How are Little Beakers Sandy camps different from other summer camps?
Little Beakers provides authentic laboratory science camps in a permanent Sandy facility with professional equipment. Every camper conducts real experiments using scientific methodology, lab coats, and safety glasses. The curriculum features 3-5 hands-on projects daily with most becoming take-home keepsakes. 19 specialized themes span shark dissections, solar robotics, forensic investigations, and more.
Can my child attend the same camp theme multiple times?
While campers are welcome to repeat favorite themes, most families prefer exploring different themes across multiple weeks. With 19 different camp options spanning marine biology, paleontology, robotics, astronomy, forensics, and more, most children want to experience new topics each week.
What scientific concepts do campers actually learn?
Each themed camp covers 35+ experiments spanning multiple scientific disciplines. Marine Biology camps teach anatomy and microscopy techniques. Robotics camps cover circuits, electricity, and engineering design. Paleontology camps explore geology and fossil formation. All camps incorporate chemistry, physics, and hands-on scientific methodology appropriate to the theme and age group.
Are the dissection camps appropriate for all children?
Dissection camps are led by trained scientists who guide students through proper scientific dissection with appropriate context and respect for specimens. We recommend ages 8+ for most dissection camps, though mature younger children may participate with parent approval. Parents concerned about appropriateness should contact the Sandy location to discuss specific camp content before enrolling.
