GENERAL

INFORMATION

Quality and Affordable Camps for students

Ages 6- 14 yrs old

CODE: EXPLORERS™, an award-winning, 501(c)(3)

non-profit organization, empowering students

through the use of mobile learning and technology

to explore engineering, technology and computer

science from an engineer/technologist point of

view . We help students develop the capabilities

and skills they are going to need to live better lives.

We connect technology companies, academia,

college students and PK-12 students to share and

learn these 21st Century skills utilizing age-

appropriate kinesthetic activities that illustrate

each field and career.

Students will have a great time learning new skills

and ideas and making new friends. In addition to

our learning experiences and hands-on activities,

students participate in outdoor activities and

games.

Safety

Your child’s safety is our top priority. We are

committed to provide a safe learning environment

for all students. Code Explorers is a Florida

Department of Children and Families (DCF)

Summer Camp approved vendor. All instructors,

camp counselors, volunteers working directly with

children have passed an FBI Level 2 background

check. All campers will be place in their age group

of no more than 20 students. Each group will work

with an instructor assisted by camp counselors. We

have limited class sizes to ensure each camper is

well supervised. We work in teams helping each

other learn, explore and have fun.

Payment and Refund Policy

Space is not guaranteed until full payment is received. There are no refunds for camps once student is

signed up. Medical drop outs must be fully documented with a Doctor notice explaining reason for not

attending with a written letter to registrar@codeexplorers.org.

Camper weeks or days are not transferable to other campers, except between siblings.

To transfer to another week of camp: $5/week transfer fee until one month before the camp session

start. No transfers available after that time. You cannot transfer between camps without consent from

Code Explorers in writing.

If we need to cancel a program due to low enrollment, you will receive option to transfer to another

program or get full refund.

In the case of a natural disaster that affects ability to hold camp at the specific locations noted in

communications, we'll find alternate meeting place to hold camp and will be unable to offer any refunds.

If no alternate sites can be found, we will issue refunds.
