Learning shouldn’t end just because the school year is over! Edwardsville Children’s Museum hosts summer camps for kids of all ages that are designed for fun, built around a variety of themes, and tied to education to prevent the “summer slide.”
During summer camp, participants will have the chance to discover new talents, boost their independence, gain confidence, and create friendships with kids from across Madison County.
Make your child’s summer one to remember by enrolling them in an ECM camp today!
Due to overwhelming response, registration is now closed for those on assistance. Keep an eye on our social media pages for any other upcoming grant funded options. As always, admission to the museum during regular hours is still free with the presentation of your assistance card thanks to our Museums for All program.
ECM was awarded a grant that offers FREE summer camp for those that are receiving assistance with the presentation of their EBT card.
Registration Info: Registration ends 1 week before the program start date. Programs may cancel due to low enrollment.
*Refund policy: If you cancel your registration at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the program, we will refund your registration costs minus a 5% credit card processing fee. If you cancel less than 2 weeks prior, no refund or credit will be given. If we have to cancel a camp due to low enrollment, you will get all registration costs returned.
