The Child and Family Studies Laboratory provides a summer enrichment camp for children entering kindergarten or just completed 4th grade to focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). We offer an engaging, hands-on science and math curriculum based on the Utah Science State Core for grades K-4th. Enrollment is limited to 20 children per session with a public school teacher hired to teach each camp with the support of a BYU student.

Please look for registration information for our 2024 STEM camp on our registration tab of "STEM".

When camps are full, new applicants can choose to be added to the waiting list for that camp. If and when a spot becomes available we will email parents informing them that their child has been moved off the waiting list and placed in that camp session.

Each camp is between $150-200. If payment is not received by the date indicated in your acceptance letter, you will receive an email informing you that your child has been dropped from that session. Because of the high popularity of the camps, we are unable to hold any spots without payment.

Tuition

Each session costs between $150-200.

Payment Procedures

Due to the financial dependency of the lab school on tuition to pay teachers, we kindly request your assistance in registering for those sessions you are certain you can attend.
As the start date of each session approaches, it becomes increasingly difficult to fill any open spots if a child withdraws.

  • Payment must be made immediately following the registration process.
  • Please do not pay for camps for which you have not registered. All excess monies will be refunded to you. 
  • The University will send a receipt immediately upon completion of your payment. 
  • Additional information on your specific STEM camp(s) will be sent to you from the CFSL office within 1-2 business days to finalize your enrollment in our STEM program(s).

Refund Policy

We understand that sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your registration for our STEM camp(s). To provide fair and consistent treatment to all our participants, we have established the following refund policy:

  • Notice of Cancellation: To be eligible for a refund, you must provide written notice of your cancellation at least two weeks prior to the start of the camp. Email the CFSL office at cfsl@byu.edu with your written notice.
  • Refund Amount: If you withdraw from a camp prior to two weeks before the start, we will issue a full refund of tuition, minus a $25 processing fee (per camp).  
  • No Refunds for Late Cancellations: If you do not provide written notice of cancellation at least two weeks prior to the start of a camp, no refund will be given.
  • Medical Emergencies: In the event of a medical emergency, we will make every effort to accommodate your needs and may provide a full or pro-rated refund based on your specific situation.

STEM Camps do not typically include a snack -- unless it is related to their project.
