Summer Camp

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.

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. 

The museum has partnered with CampDoc to provide an online health information management tool for summer campers at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Registered patrons should receive an email from noreply@campdoc.com with the subject: Houston Museum of Natural Science via CampDoc. Please accept the invite and complete the profile for your registered camper or scout.

The body of the email will include…

You’ve been invited to manage the CampDoc profile for “name of registered participant” at Houston Museum of Natural Science.
To continue, please click “Accept Invite” below. If you already have a CampDoc account, you can add “name of registered participant” after you sign in. Otherwise, you’ll be able to create a new account.

Accept Invite

Please accept the invitation for “name of participant” profile as soon as possible.
Houston Museum of Natural Science has requested that all information be completed by “the day before your camp or class is scheduled” at the latest.

For all camp and health related questions, please contact Summer Camp Office at 713-639-4625 or summercamp@hmns.org.
This email was sent from a notification-only address that cannot accept incoming email. Please do not reply to this message. If you have website questions or need technical support, please visit our support page at support.campdoc.com.

Please help us help your child by completing your camper’s profile with Campdoc and notifying us of any disabilities, allergies, accessibility concerns, behavioral, psychological or emotional concerns, or any other special needs.

While we strive to offer our summer programs to as wide a range of children as possible, it is not possible for us to offer one-on-one care. In the case of severe food allergies, it is not possible for us to monitor what other children bring to the museum.
