ACE Policies and Procedures |
| Q: | Does ACE require proof of immunization for participation in camp? |
| A: | At this time, The Museum of Flight requires all Aerospace Camp Experience participants to be up-to-date on or have an allowable exemption from all vaccinations as required by Washington State law for school attendance. At registration we will collect some immunization information to use in the case of an outbreak of a vaccine preventable illness. The Museum of Flight continues to monitor local, state, and federal guidance and health recommendations and reserve the right to update or change health and safety requirements for camp participation.
|
| Q: | Is ACE requiring campers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 this year? |
| A: | At this time, The Museum of Flight highly encourages but does not require Aerospace Camp Experience (ACE) participants to be immunized against COVID-19, per recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local and state health authorities. The Museum of Flight continues to monitor local, state, and federal guidance and health recommendations and reserves the right to update or change health and safety requirements for camp participation.

| Q: | What is the ACE Financial Access Campership Program? |
| A: | Need financial assistance? The Museum is proud to offer financial assistance to families in need. To apply, simply fill out an Access Program Application during Camp Registration or email ACE@museumofflight.org. ACE Staff will notify applicants of acceptance no later than June 3, 2024.
Partial Campership
Applicants may request either $100, $200, or $300 to be applied towards a Camp Registration. *A $6 administrative fee is due at registration, and the full remaining balance is due by June 9, 2025. Only a limited number are available. Partial Campership requests are made during Registration only.
Requests are reviewed and approved in the order in which they are received until funding is no longer available. Staff review and approve requests within 14 business days. If your request is not approved, you may choose to keep your registration and pay the full amount or cancel. Should you choose to cancel, any fees paid are fully refundable.
Full Campership
The Museum covers (1) week of Camp, plus Before & After Care at no cost to you. Applications available January 7, 2025. Only a limited number are available. Restrictions may apply.
Full Camperships are distributed based on need. Several factors are considered when determining need, including qualification for several federal or state programs, if a camper is in kinship or foster care, income level, and any additional circumstances that may lead to a financial barrier to attending ACE.
You may apply for Full Camperships for multiple campers in the same household. Applications for siblings will be considered together, though each camper must have an individual application submitted. ACE will work to approve applications for all campers in a household when possible.
