Camp FAQs

Camp drop-off begins at 8:30 AM with camp programming starting at 9 AM. Pickup is at 4 PM. AM and PM Extended Care is available for an additional cost.

AM Extended Care runs from 7 AM to 9 AM and PM Extended Care runs from 4 PM to 6 PM. During Extended Care campers will enjoy supervised play, crafts, games, and a light snack. 

You will select AM and PM Extended Care during registration. The weekly fee is $60 for AM or PM Care and $120 for both. Member discounts on Extended Care are not available. 

Camps range from 16-20 children. We adhere to State of Michigan day camp Camper-to-counselor ratios.

Camp sessions are one-week long (Monday-Friday). We strongly advise registering for one session of camp only, as content is repeated each week. 

Camp families provide their own transportation to The Henry Ford. The supervised drop-off and pick-up location will be provided in the information packet shared two weeks prior to your camp session. 

Immediately following your registration, you will receive an email confirmation receipt for your purchase. In early, June an email will be sent to the parent/legal guardian email provided during the registration process. This email will prompt recipients to complete health and safety information for each camper.

2 weeks before the start of your session, parent's legal guardians will receive a "Welcome to THF Summer Camp" email with detailed information regarding your session.

If you do not immediately receive the email confirmation call the Contact Center at 313.982.6001 or email info@thf.org.

All families will have an opprtunity to share accesibility infromation as part of the ePACT health and safety form process. If you would like to discuss your camper's needs in more detail, please email summercamp@thf.org. 

In addition to a fun week-long experience, campers will receive 2 camp t-shirts to wear throughout the week and our fan-favorite trip to Frozen Custard.  

• Good shoes for walking — no flip-flops.
• Clothes appropriate for the weather, playing outside and doing crafts.
• Camp T-shirts are strongly encouraged so THF staff are able to identify your camper quickly.
• Packed lunch, snacks and a drink. Campers do not have access to vending machines, refrigerators, or microwaves. Campers are not permitted to purchase food.
• Water bottle.
  
• Backpack; it will be carried with them on days they cannot return to the classroom for lunch.

Each camp will go to the custard stand once during camp. Alternatives are available for allergies and dietary restrictions.

A light snack is provided for campers enrolled in AM and/or PM Extended Care. 

This means that campers will have regular contact with a variety of foods. They will participate in activities that involve growing and cooking foods that could be an allergy concern. We will provide a list of foods in the information packet shared prior to camp. We will do our best to accommodate your camper’s needs, but it may not be possible in all circumstances.

Potential allergens: wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, cinnamon
