Camp Themes

Each camp offers exciting activities specific to the age/grade group and camp theme.  Within a camp theme, activities may repeat during the summer.  Campers are encouraged to attend different themes.

Camp activities change from year to year!  While we may repeat some favorite activities, a 1st grader who enjoys Gadgets and Gizmos Camp this summer can enroll again as a 2nd grader and have a new camp experience.

Age/Grade Groups

Our camps are designed to be developmentally appropriate for each age group to ensure that children get the most out of their camp experience. For this reason we do not combine camp groups or place campers in groups outside of their age/grade.  If you feel your camper has extenuating circumstances and wish for an exception to be made, please contact the Director of Education, Carl Oosterman, at (650) 340-7590.

Pre- and Post-Camp

Pre-camp care is available for half-day and full-day camps from 8:30-9:00am.  Post-camp care is available for full-day camps from 4:00-5:00pm. Pre- and post-camp care are included at no additional charge.

Registering for Camp

Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.  You can register for camp online (the quickest method), by fax, or by mail.  Online registrations will receive priority.  Complete registration includes the Registration, Medical Information & Release Form and full payment.

Confirmation of your registration will be sent immediately with online registrations, and within 5 business days if registering by fax or mail.

Campers with Special Needs

Our educational philosophy and program design have proven successful with campers that have special needs, such as ADD, mild autism, and varied learning disabilities.  This success comes from early planning and communication with the camper’s parent/guardian and camp staff.  Helping us understand the needs of your camper assists us in creating an experience that is optimal for your child and all campers.  If a camper requires an aide, this must be set up in advance.  Call us at 650-340-7598 or email us at scheduler(at)coyoteptmuseum.org.  We are unable to provide personal aides, but welcome collaborating with an aide provided by the camper’s family.

Waiting Lists

Many of our camp sessions fill up quickly, and early registration is suggested. Full camps will have a waiting list with a limited number of spaces.  If a space becomes available, we will contact those on the waiting list in order of their placement.  You will be contacted ONLY if a space becomes available for you, and you will have 48 hours to confirm and pay for that space.

Refunds/Cancellations

Cancellation with a partial refund can be made up to 24 days prior to the start of camp. There is a $75/camper cancellation fee assessed to all refunds.  Refunds may take up to 3 weeks to process.  NO REFUNDS will be issued for cancellations on or after the “No Refund Date” listed below:

A full refund will be given if Coyote Point Museum cancels a camp. 

Session Closed

In order to better prepare for camp sessions, we will close registration 14 days prior to the start of the session, or when full.

Emergency Information and Release Form

Part of your registration includes the completion of the Medical Information & Release Form.  This is important because it alerts staff to any special needs your camper may have, instructs us on who can pick up the camper, and who to contact in the event of an emergency.  Each camper MUST include this information with registration and payment.  Camper’s registration will be delayed until information is complete.  This form is included as part of both the online registration process and the downloadable registration form.

Changes/Transfers

If you need to change your camp session and/or transfer to another, you can do so (provided space is available) up to 21 days prior to the start of the session in which you are currently enrolled and 14 days prior to the start of the new session.  There is a $75/camper change fee assessed for each change.  If the museum requests the change, no fee will be charged.

Memberships

When you join Coyote Point Museum you'll receive a reduced rate on camp.

You do not need to be a member to participate in Camp Coyote.  To receive the member rate for camp, you must have a current family-level membership or above when you register for camp and during the dates of your camp session(s). You can pay for your membership on the registration form.  For membership rates, click here.
