2008 Chabot Space & Science Center Camp General Information and Policies

Chabot is pleased to offer a wide array of excellent camp opportunities. We look forward to working with you and your child(ren) in a wonderful summer experience!

Registration

Please register only one camper per form. For additional copies, you may photocopy the original form or print additional forms from our website. Be sure to designate alternate choice camps on your registration forms.

If your first choice camp is already filled, we will book you into your alternate choice camp -- as long as space is available there! Be sure to designate alternate choice camps on your registration forms. Early registration is encouraged because camp sizes are limited.

Waste Free Lunch

All campers should bring their lunch if they are enrolled in an AM and PM camp the same week or in a full day camp. Lunch and lunchtime activities are supervised. Campers are strongly encouraged to bring a waste free lunch. Details will be sent with your registration packet.

Extended Care

Before and after care programs are available at an additional cost. See registration form for details and pricing.
