The Iowa Children’s Museum is not holding Spring Break Camps in 2021. Please check out our Online FunLAB opportunities for virtual activities with museum educators that are designed to complement our Play Packs!
We will also be open additional days during spring break. Visit our ticket page to view available play sessions and reserve your time to play!
Each camp is designed to appeal to kids of diverse skill levels and a wide range of ages. Choose between the AM and PM sessions or register for both as an all-day option. Extended care opportunities are available.
Day Camps are for children who are currently in Kindergarten through 6th grade.
Day Camps: Choose either the AM or PM Session, or stay for the Full Day.
AM Session: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
PM Session: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Full-Day: 9:00 AM – 4:00PM
Extended Care available from 7:45-9 AM or 4-5:30 PM
Extended care consists of supervised play experiences for the children scheduled to stay before or after regular camp hours and is available from 7:45-9 AM, and 4-5:30 PM. Our staff to child ratio will be the same as in camp: 1 adult for every 6 children. In order to ensure extended care for your child, pre-registration is required two weeks prior to the start of camp. Typically, we cannot accept same-day registration for extended care.
12-1 PM extended care included with the price of a Full Day registration. For those children that are registered for only the AM or PM Session, 12-1 PM extended care is available upon request. Please email Aimee at reservations@theicm.org to schedule.
