Online registration will remain open until the camp fills to capacity or one week before the scheduled start date of the camp.

Full payment is required during registration and you can register online! When registering online, it is easiest to find the camps you may want if you select the "Camps" button on the Programs page and then select "filter by age" button.  You will see a drop-down menu where you can select your child's age and see the available camps. 

LUX summer camps are managed by our Education Programs Department which can be reached by email at programs@luxcenter.org or by phone at 402-466-8692 ext 2. We do not share contact information for individual instructors. LUX office and business hours are Tuesday-Saturday from 10am-5pm.  The Education team is also available on Mondays during camps.

A confirmation email will be sent upon successful completion of online checkout. This email will contain a confirmation number, date, and time of the summer camp(s). Please save this email for future reference. If you do not receive a confirmation email within a few minutes of payment please contact us as your spot is not reserved OR an incorrect email address was given and we need to update it. Additional registrations may be added by logging into your account using the same email address you used last time. Please select “I forgot my password” the first time you login to set your password. If you need to make changes to existing class selections please contact the LUX education department. Please check your SPAM folders for email from the LUX and add us to your contact list so that you will be sure to receive important updates and reminders. 

If a summer camp is full, you can email programs@luxcenter.org to be placed on a wait list. If there is an opening, you will be contacted. If your child is enrolled in a camp but needs to switch to another date, time, or can no longer attend, you must contact the LUX at least two weeks prior to the class in order to be eligible for any refund. 

Price per camp per student per week varies from $165 to $185. 10% discounts on registration for youth camps is available to those with a  LUX Family Membership or higher. Supervised care is available from 8am-9am ($30 per week) Lunch Care from 12:30pm-1:30pm ($30 per week, bring your own sack lunch) are available to students enrolled in LUX summer camps. Care is only available to those enrolled in LUX camps. We do not prorate camps or camp care fees if your student is unable to attend each day.

Payment of all program fees is due with registration. Scholarship funds are limited and only available to those who qualify.

If your employer provides a Flexible Savings Account your camp tuition may be eligible for reimbursement. Click here for more details.

All camps with insufficient enrollment one week prior to the start date will be cancelled. Parents will be notified immediately if a camp is cancelled and will be placed into an alternate class if possible. Otherwise, a full refund will be given. This rarely happens for summer camps.

LUX does not provide multi-child discounts or prorate fees as we must reserve your child’s spot in the class regardless of their ability to attend each day. Member discounts and scholarships do not apply to Camp Care.

Please complete our Medical Release Form (emailed to you) for each child attending summer camps at the LUX Center prior to the first day of class. Students are served a light snack midway through camp so food allergy information is especially important. In case of emergency, instructors and staff have contact information for parents/guardians and have been instructed to follow LUX Center emergency procedures. Notify the instructor and the Education Programs Department if your contact information has changed from the time that you registered. Students who have not returned a Medical Release form will not be allowed to attend camp. 

Please send your child to camp with a reusable water bottle with their name on it. We do have water fountains but they are not in each classroom. Those enrolled in lunch care also need to bring their lunch in a container with their name on it.

Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes before the camp start time. Doors will be locked until that time. Our instructors generally arrive 15-20 minutes before class and need the time to prepare supplies.
**For those enrolled, morning care starts at 8am, morning camps start at 9am, afternoon camps start at 1:30pm.

LUX is located at 2601 N 48th Street on the Northwest corner of 48th and Baldwin Street
**Morning care is in the Education Wing (main building) and clay camps are located in the Ceramics Center, on the West side of our parking lot. (Enter through purple door facing Baldwin)
**All other camps and activities take place in our main building. (Enter through the glass door facing the parking lot.)
**If your child is enrolled in multiple camps, the pick-up location may be different than the drop off location.

Please have your child wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you won't be too upset if they get stained. Students get very immersed in the art making process and sometimes messy! Many art supplies can stain clothes.

We ask that parents/guardians do not stay in the classroom during class. This can create a difficult dynamic for instructors and students. You can feel safe knowing that all staff and volunteers that work with children at LUX must go through a background check process and training program.

If your child makes clay projects during their camp, they will be available for pick up two weeks after the last day of camp. To pick up projects, enter the main LUX building and ask for assistance at the counter in the LUX shop.

Students who are dropped off or picked up more than 5 minutes outside of their class times may be billed for a full week of camp care if it seems to be a pattern. LUX does not have care after 5pm. In case of emergencies that result in arriving more than 5 minutes outside of camp pick up time, please call the LUX at 402-466-8692.

A light snack is served halfway through camp each day. If your child has food allergies please email programs@luxcenter.org so we can try and best accomodate their needs. You may also send alternative snacks with your child if they have allergies or strong preferences. Please no peanut based alternative snacks. 

NO refunds will be issued if you cancel less than two weeks before the camp start date. This policy is strictly enforced with no exceptions.

- If you need to cancel or switch classes, please notify LUX as soon as possible. - If you notify us of your cancellation two weeks prior to the start date, you will receive a full refund, minus a 5% credit card/handling fee.

- If you notify us less than two weeks before the start date, you will receive a LUX credit equal to the total amount of your original payment. This credit can be used for any other LUX class or camp. When you register, your spot is reserved for you. Short notice cancellations make it impossible to fill that spot, as camp registration closes one week before the start date to ensure our artist instructors have accurate class enrollment. 

-A fee of $35 will be charged for any returned checks.

We appreciate your understanding as our cancellation policy helps us maintain the highest standards.
