Answers to Little Beakers - Orem Summer Camp FAQs

What is the cost of summer camp?

The starting cost of each 5-day summer camp session is $200 +tax per participant. Discounts for siblings and members are available. Discounts may not be combined. The sibling discount code is available during the enrollment process and Member discount codes can be found in the Member Welcome Letter.

Can I enroll in a partial camp?

Partial camp registration is not available. There are no refunds for missed days or partial camp attendance.

What if I need to cancel after I have enrolled?

If you need to cancel your camp enrollment, at least 14 days notice is required to be considered for a refund. Note: any refunds issued will be subject to a 50% cancellation fee. Cancellation requests received with notice of less than 14 days from the first day of camp will NOT be eligible for a refund in part or in whole. With the understanding that unexpected things do come up, there are two additional options: 1. Your full enrollment fee may be applied to a different camp session, on a space available basis or 2. Your full enrollment fee may be transferred to the enrollment of a different camper with manager approval. Please contact the lab to discuss these options.

What is the best age for campers at Little Beakers? 

Most Summer Camp themes at Little Beakers are perfect for children ages 5-13. Select “Middle Beakers” camp themes for are available for participants ages 9+. In all cases, participants must meet minimum age requirement on the first day of camp that they attend. In the event that a camper is enrolled in but does not meet the minimum age for a camp, parents will have 2 options: enrollment may be transferred to an age appropriate camp or enrollment will be cancelled by Little Beakers. Regular camp refund rules apply. In the event of a refund, a 10% admin fee will be applied to refunded amount.

How many participants will be in each camp class? 

Camp enrollment is currently capped at 12 or 20 participants per session (depending on the camp theme). Multiple classes may be offered during a particular camp session, depending on enrollment, with a max of 12 participants per class. Individual class rosters will be based on enrollment and determined by Little Beakers teaching staff each day of camp. Parent requests (eg. keep siblings together) will be taken into consideration.

Does Little Beakers provide a snack? What if my child has allergies?

A snack break is built into each day of camp. Little Beakers will provide campers with a juice pouch and offered a selection of healthy snacks to choose from. We strive to have options that take the most common allergens into consideration (gluten, nuts, dairy). Campers with special diet requirements should be prepared to bring an appropriate snack with them to camp each day.

Do we need to do anything before arriving at camp?

All campers must have a current General Participation Waiver on file before entering the lab. Waivers can be completed in advance on the Little Beakers - Sandy or Orem websites or at check-in on the first day of camp. Waivers are valid in our system for 12 months. Please check with the lab if you are not sure if a waiver that you have already completed is current.

What do we need to bring to camp?

Each participant should bring a water bottle clearly labeled with their name to camp with them each day. There are water coolers or water fountains on site if they forget their personal water bottle or need a refill. Please leave extra toys and materials at home. Little Beakers is not responsible for personal items that are damaged or lost. While there is no specific dress code and Little Beakers provides lab coats to be worn during the camp, keep in mind that science can be messy and campers should dress accordingly.
