What if my child needs to leave earlier
than 5:00pm?
|
-
Children who must leave before 4:45pm can be picked up at our early dismissal time of 3:30pm. Please notify us at morning check-in or send an email to us by noon that day. Speak with the camp coordinator if you need to make any other arrangements.

|
Does Camp Intrepid provide transportation?
|
- Camp Intrepid does not currently provide this service.
|
|
Where do I drop off my child?
|
-
Children should be dropped off at West 46th Street and 12th Avenue in front of the Museum, where they will be greeted by Camp Intrepid staff inside or near the Welcome Center. All children must be accompanied by a guardian, who will sign the camper in with a Camp Intrepid staff member (unless you have arranged otherwise with the camp coordinator).
|
|
Does Camp Intrepid have parking?
|
-
Temporary parking is available in the Museum’s lot only during drop off and pick up. The Museum’s parking lot is located on the east side of 12th Avenue between 45th Street and 46th Street.

Does Camp Intrepid provide lunch?
|
- Campers are welcome to bring their own nut-free lunches, but if you wish to order lunch for your child, please fill out an order form included in the Welcome Packet. Campers cannot buy their own lunches at the Museum, and campers will not have access to a refrigerator or microwave. Lunches are kept in our temperature-controlled classrooms.
Camp Intrepid is a nut-free camp.
|
|
Do you have a nurse on site?
|
- Although Camp Intrepid does not have an on-site nurse, staff members are trained in first aid and CPR.
|
|
What if my child has to take medication
during the day?
|
- Since our facility does not have a nurse, staff members cannot dispense medication to campers.
|
|
What if my child has allergies?
|
- Please indicate all allergies (food, environmental, etc.) on your medical form so that staff members are aware of these circumstances and can provide as safe an environment as possible for your child.
|
|
My child has severe allergic reactions. Can I
send my child to Camp Intrepid with an EpiPen?
|
- Passport to Adventure - Take a virtual trip with Intrepid and travel the world as the ship’s crew did. Yes, provided your child is able to administer it himself/herself should it be needed.
|
|
My child learns differently from others and
is very shy around other children until she
gets to know them better. Does knowing that
help you to provide a better experience for her?
|
- Yes! Children with many different backgrounds and learning styles join us at Camp Intrepid. Having many different types of children in our program brings the most interesting team and individual projects to fruition. Please tell us anything we should know about your child that will help her/him have a more complete and engaging experience at Camp Intrepid.
|
|
What if my child becomes ill or there is a problem
at camp?
|
- If your child becomes sick or has difficulty at camp, the camp coordinator will call you to discuss the matter. Please be sure the number you provide is where we can reach you in case of emergency. If your child is sick or exhibiting difficult behavior, we will ask you to pick up your child early from camp. In most cases, this is best done within an hour of the phone call.
|
|
What do children do in Camp Intrepid?
|
- A sample schedule (subject to change) is available here. Projects and activities relate to the themes of the week and are tailored to the ages and interests of the campers. Depending on the week, aircraft pilots, former crew members, curators and outside presenters/activities (such as Capoeira, Mad Science, Animal Embassy, Museum of Interesting Things or Circle Line’s Beast ride) may be featured.
|
|
Will my child receive anything for going to
Camp Intrepid?
|
- Your child will receive a Camp Intrepid T-Shirt for each week of Camp Intrepid. The T-shirt will identify your child when the group is in the Museum and keep the clothes you send them in from getting paint, glue or other materials on them. Often the T-shirts are a bit messy when they go home with your child on their last day of camp, but they will have stories about how their shirt got that messy! Children also receive a water bottle, which will go home with them on their last day of camp.
|
|
What is your cancellation policy?
|
- A non-refundable processing fee of $200 is included in the price of Camp Intrepid’s summer sessions. No refunds will be issued after June 1.
