Cade Museum 2020 Summer Camp FAQ’s
We appreciate that these are unusual times, so we are providing important information to create the most successful camp experience for you and your child. One week before camp, we will also provide a comprehensive camp package, with added camp information, plus any required forms.
Q: Where are camps being held?
A: Camps will be held in the Cade Annex Studio and Cade Garage at 904 South Main Street (across the street from the Cade Museum). Campers will also enjoy the Cade Museum and Depot Park.
Q: What time does camp begin and end?
A: Early drop-off begins at 8:00 am, and camp activities start at 9:00 am. Camp activities end at 5:00 pm, and late pick-up must be completed by 5:30 pm.
Q: Will I pack lunch for my child?
A: Yes. You will provide lunch, snacks, and drinks for your child. Siblings attending separate camps will not eat lunch at the same time, so each child’s food should be packed separately. Water will be available for your child throughout the day.
Q: Can my child bring personal items and electronics to camp?
A: To ensure every child’s safety, campers are not allowed to bring any toys, electronics, or other personal items to camp.
Q: What should my child wear to camp?
A: Campers should wear comfortable, close-toed shoes and clothing.
Q: Will my child be required to wear a face mask at camp?
A: The Cade Museum continues to monitor all safety requirements mandated by Federal, state, and local officials. Currently, face masks are mandated for all children, six years of age or older, so campers would be required to wear masks. As officials update safety protocols, we will continue to evaluate our camp procedures accordingly.
Q: How big will the groups of children be at camp?
A: The size of camps will vary, based on the classroom size in which each camp is conducted. We have created detailed room layouts that prescribe 6+ feet of social distancing for each child during camp. This information directly informs the maximum number of children that we will register for any given camp. We expect to enroll a maximum of 18 campers, ages 6-9, and 18 campers, ages 10-14, which represents a significant reduction from last year’s camp enrollments. Due to limited capacity this year, we recommend that you enroll as soon as possible.
Q: How do you plan on enforcing social distancing during camp sessions?
A: As outlined above, campers will be seated at tables 6+ feet apart to maintain social distancing. Our education team has procedures in place to continue to maintain social distancing as campers visit the museum and Depot Park. Lunch will be held in areas that also enable social distancing.
Q: Will I receive a refund if the museum cancels a camp?
A: Yes. If the Cade Museum cancels a camp, a refund will be issued, within three weeks of cancellation.
Q: If I have a child in each camp age group, will they get to see each other during the day?
No. To protect the safety of all campers, we will not mix camp classes. Additionally, campers from our 6-9 and 10-14 age groups will not eat lunch together - enabling us to enforce social distancing in camp spaces.
Q: Will you screen students before they are admitted into the camp?
A: The Cade team will take every camper's temperature at the time of morning check-in, and any child with a temperature (per CDC guidelines) will not be permitted to attend camp that day, and for at least 24-hours after any sign of fever. To protect the safety of all of our campers, any child with a fever or any other signs of illness must remain home.
We want to provide you and your child with the best camp experience possible, so we are here to answer any added questions that you may have at info@cademuseum.org or (352) 371-8001.
