CML camps provide educational enrichment opportunities disguised as PLAY during school breaks: Spring Break Camp, Summer Camp, Turkey Time Camp and Winter Wonderland Camp! Children ages 3 – 10 engage in developmentally appropriate, hands-on activities that include science, engineering, math, literacy and the arts and center around fun weekly themes. Children also spend time exploring in the CML interactives, where, through PLAY, they enhance their communication, problem solving and creativity skills. CML campers forge friendships as they work on collaborative projects and test their strengths as they tackle fun mental and physical challenges. Every day of camp delivers a set of unique experiences that keep children learning through PLAY!
CML uses Active Network to host its camp registration. Using this platform has many benefits for families, including payment plans, registration protection, and account access to view existing registrations and receipts.

Payment Plan Policy
If selecting a payment plan, a deposit is due with registration and the remaining balance is due two weeks before the camp start date. Each camp session will have its own payment due date.
Tax Information
The Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry Tax ID # is 57-1014498.
Cancellation Policy
Except when Registration Protection is purchased, cancellations made two weeks or more prior to the first day of camp are eligible for a CML credit. Any cancellation after this time will result in a loss of the entire amount paid. As a nonprofit, these costs have been allocated towards materials and staffing for the program. Please keep in mind as long as there is availability, you may switch programs up to one week prior to the beginning of the originally registered program. CML Credit may be applied for on-site CML activities including programs, admissions, and memberships.
Full Day Campers: Lunch
CML provides mid-morning and late-afternoon snacks. Full Day Campers must bring a lunch that is NUT FREE (no peanuts or tree nuts). Acceptable peanut butter substitutions include soybutter and Sunbutter.
Camp Counselors
All CML Camp Counselors receive training in positive behavior management techniques, Darkness to Light Child Sexual Abuse Prevention and First Aid/CPR.
All counselors and volunteers over the age of 16 undergo a criminal background check and National Sex Offender Registry check.
Young Campers
While CML accepts campers starting at age 3, young campers must be preschool-ready. Campers are expected to respond to their name, follow two-step directions, and stay with the counselor and their assigned group. It is important to remember that there are no refunds or credits given if a child is asked to leave camp due to unacceptable behavior.
