Luminarium Camps FAQs

We are pleased to offer an extra-special winter camp this year! Through a partnership with Fat Brain Toys, “The Ultimate Toy Lab” brings the excitement of the Luminarium’s floor exhibits, the creativity of fun activities and crafts, and the joy of toys to campers from grades 2nd through 6th grades. Together, we will explore the science of toys and play, create our own games, collaborate with toy designers, and even participate in an exciting New Year’s Eve ball drop!

Camp hours are from 9AM until 4PM. We are able to offer Before & After Care for campers on a limited basis. Before Care hours are 8AM-9AM, and After Care hours are 4PM-5:30PM. There is an extra cost to sign up for before and/or after care, and space is limited.

Camp Luminarium is open to anyone! However, there is a discount and early registration period for Kiewit Luminarium members. 

The member price is $215 and non-member price is $240 per camp. If you would like to begin an annual membership please click here! The cost of Before Care is $20 for the week, After Care is $30 for the week, and it is $50 to sign up for both. 

We are pleased to be able to offer a limited number of needs-based financial access scholarships for our camps. Please call us at 531-202-4539 to inquire about scholarship opportunities through our Financial Access plan.

Payment for camps is made at the time of registration. There are no refunds for cancellation of a camp at this time.

Campers should wear whatever makes them comfortable for the winter season. We highly recommend tennis shoes or other active footwear, as these options are safer on playground equipment and when interacting with exhibits. We highly discourage sandals, flip-flops, crocs, or any shoes with slippery soles. 

All campers must bring their own lunches, including a drink if anything other than water is desired. Refrigeration and microwaves are not available. Please provide an appropriate snack for the afternoon, as well. Students are welcome to bring their own water bottles, but there are also drinking fountains in the building. We highly discourage bringing toys, phones, electronic games or collectables to camp. We cannot be responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items. 

Any medications that may or must be administered to a camper during camp, including in Before Care or After Care, must be clearly communicated during registration. All medications will be kept with the Camps Coordinator, except for Epi-pens and inhalers. Campers must be able to self-administer all medications (with the exception of Epi-pens). 

Camp Luminarium is an exciting camp experience, and paying attention is very important for both fun and safety! We do not allow the use of any type of personal electronics during camp hours, including at lunch. This includes phones, video games, smart watches, tablets, etc. If your child is in Before or After Care, they may use those devices during that time if they like. Headphones are required for any electronics that have sound. We are unable to monitor your child’s device use during these times, and are not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged electronics. 

Each morning we ask that you park in a visitor lot and bring your child inside the museum to confirm registration and attendance. Campers should arrive no earlier than 8:45AM (or 8AM for Before Care). We will have camp staff inside the front entrance of the museum to support the drop-off process. Please do not drop off your camper before 8:45AM unless they are registered for Before Care. 

At 4PM, campers will be brought to a classroom near the front entrance for pick up. Be sure that anyone picking up the camper is on the approved pick-up list, or we will not be able to release the camper. If you need to pick up your child early, check in with the front desk or call 531-202-4539.
