Health & Safety

The health and safety of our patrons is always our first priority. The Summer Camp at HMNS and Summer Scouts programs have extensive health and safety procedures and staff training in place every year.

Please check back here for updates regarding health and safety information for summer camp and Scouts programming.

Accessibility

We are happy to accommodate children with disabilities and special needs. Please notify the Summer Camp Director of your child’s disabilities and special needs PRIOR to your child’s first day in the program.

If you have a camper who may need assistance to complete activities, a parent or caregiver should expect to stay in the room to assist. The individual that accompanies the camper must pass a background check. Please contact the Summer Camp Director at 713-639-4651 to discuss any special needs to help your child be successful at the museum.
