General Information

What to Wear and Bring:

• Wear comfortable clothing. Period clothing is encouraged, but not mandatory. The Fort Collins Museum has a costume library if you are interested in checking out period clothing for the week.
• Wear comfortable and closed-toed shoes.
• Bring a mid-morning snack and lunch.
• Lost Items policy: The Museum will attempt to return anything left behind. Anything not claimed by the end of August will be donated.

What Not to Bring:

• The Fort Collins Museum provides the materials appropriate to the period of the program. Please do not bring toys, games, books, electronic equipment, or anything else that is not needed.

Participant Cancellation Policy:

• $5.00 administrative fee will be charged for all enrollment changes, including cancellation after initial registration.
• If you cancel at least 14 days before the beginning of the session a $60 refund (the total tuition price minus the $5 administration fee) will be administered.
• No refunds are issued for cancellations 14 days or less prior to the beginning of your session.

Program Cancellation Policy:

A minimum of six children are needed for a class. If there are not six children signed up, 14 days before the start date, the class will be cancelled in order to allow parents, teachers, and volunteers time to make other arrangements. The parent will have the option of transferring their child to another session or receiving a full refund.

Behavior Policy:

Out of respect and the desire for everyone to HAVE FUN, participating children are expected to cooperate with their classmates and instructors. On the first day of class, rules will be set with the student's assistance and reviewed as needed. In order to foster a positive learning environment, all of our instructors are trained in positive behavior management. We will inform parents of any behavior problems on the day that they occur so there are no surprises!
