FAQs

What is Destination Science's Cancellation Policy?

For Destination Science’s Cancellation Policy, click here. 

I can't remember my username or my password, how do I reset my account?

Click on the “login to your account” link on the top right hand corner of this page. Then, click the “forgot username or password” link. It will direct you to our account reset page.

I registered for a week of camp already, but I'd like to add more weeks! How do I sign up for more sessions?

Yay! Just login to your account then click on “find my camp” to search for the camp weeks you want to add. Once you find your desired camp, click register!

Can I sign up for the same theme multiple times?

Our Destination Science Curriculum Innovators created this year’s themes from the ground up! If you would like to attend more than one week, we recommend you sign up for different camp themes. Of course, we leave it up to you and your camper if you would like to sign up for the same camp theme more than once! 

I signed up for camp already and I would like to transfer locations or switch camp dates. How can I do this?

We’d be happy to transfer you and we’ll do so for free! To transfer you into a different week or camp location, send us an email at info@destinationscience.org with your request.

We are able to transfer you as long as the camp you want to switch into does not have a waitlist and is not a partnership camp.

A partnership camp is a Destination Science camp where Destination Science does not take registration. You can tell our partnerships apart on our website by taking a look at the price; if there’s no price, it’s a partnership! This will also be noted on the location’s “camp info”.

How are campers grouped?

Campers are broken up into different age groups. You will typically see Kinder-1st in our youngest group, 2nd-3rd in our middle group, and 4th-6th in our oldest group.

Our camper to adult camp counselor ratio is 10-14 campers to 1 adult camp counselor.

My child has a buddy going to the same camp, can they be in the same group?

They sure can! There’s a spot on your registration form where you can include your camper’s buddy’s first and last name. If you have already registered you can send an email with your request to info@destinationscience.org or give us a call at 888-909-2822.

Please take a look at our grouping methods to ensure your camper’s buddy is in the same age group.

What are the camp dates and camp hours?

Our regular camp hours are Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Occasionally a location has published slightly different hours. Visit our camp locations page to view all camp details!

If you are already registered you can login to your account portal and click on your account link to view your personal scheduled location(s) and week(s).

Do you offer extended care?

Extended care is available at the following locations: Santa Monica, Studio City, Encino, El Segundo, and La Cañada.

If I'm running late picking up my camper, what do I do?

We understand that unforeseen challenges come up! If you’re running late please give our office staff a call at 888-909-2822 so we can inform our Site Director.

Please be aware that we do have a late fee policy which entails that $1 is charged per minute late.

What is Destination Science’s Tax ID #?

33-094-3159

Do you provide lunch or snacks?

We ask parents to send their camper with a refillable water bottle, a boxed lunch and a morning snack!!

Do you have a lost and found?

We sure do! If your camper left an item at camp, please let our Site Director know as soon as possible or email info@destinationscience.org or call at 888-909-2822.

All of our lost items are removed from the camp location on the last day we are at the given site, so please let us know as soon as you realize that something is missing.

My child has special needs, how can I find out if Destination Science is a good fit?

We have had many campers with mild special needs join us for the summer. Please email info@destinationscience.org or call to discuss your child’s unique requirements at 888-909-2822. If your child requires an aide in school, then we ask that an aide join us for camp as well. Please download our Policy & Procedure Form for Aides at DS Camp and either e-mail or mail to our office before the start of camp.

DS Office Address: 953 N. Elm St., Orange, CA 92867

What does a typical day look like?

Here is our daily camp schedule! The science station activities depend on the theme of your camp and what our Destination Science Curriculum Innovators concocted!

Does my child have to be fluent in English to attend camp?

He or she must be able to understand basic directions and instructions given by camp staff. To ensure Destination Science is the right fit for your camper, please email info@destinationscience.org or give us a call at
888-909-2822

How do I alert camp staff about my child's allergies?

We ask all registered campers’ parents to fill out our Health History Form and to turn it into their camper’s teacher on the first day of camp. This form is mandatory and must be filled out prior to camp drop-off. You can access this form by logging to your account and viewing your camper’s information. It will be in a PDF format.

What is your drop-off and pick-up hours?

Drop-off: Campers may be signed in to camp as early as 8:50 a.m. 9:00 a.m.)

We ask all parents to walk their camper(s) to check-in with their teacher. Please sign in your camper(s) every day of camp!

If you will be dropping off your camper after 9 a.m., please call our office at 888-909-2822 so we can give our Site Director a heads up!

Pick-up: 3:00 p.m. – 3:10 p.m

To ensure the safety of your camper(s), please download, print, or screenshot your camper’s sign out pass and present it to their teacher at pick up everyday. Please sign out your camper on the roster after showing his or her teacher their sign out pass.

If you will be picking up your camper before 3 p.m., please call our office at 888-909-2822 so we can give our Site Director a heads up!

What is your sick camper policy?

If your camper is sick (and contagious) they must stay home. Please notify our office: email info@destinationscience.org or call 888-909-2822 and we’ll make arrangements for their safe return!

If your camper gets sick while at camp we will call or text you and request that you pick up your camper.

What if my camper gets hurt while at camp?

Our Destination Science team works hard to keep your camper safe! At every camp, at least 1 of our adult staff members are certified in First-Aid and CPR and are prepared to provide aid and support for your camper in the case of a minor injury. You will be notified at pick-up by your camper’s teacher or Site Director and given a Boo-Boo Report!

All head bumps are called-in to parents and monitored by our adult staff.

In the case of a more severe injury we will call 911 if needed. Parents or guardians will be notified immediately.

What is your protocol in the event of an emergency?

In the event of an emergency, our staff is prepared with an emergency plan in collaboration with their facility.
