HMNS Education Department Statement Regarding the Use of Masks During Programming
The masking policy is determined using the CDC COVID-19 Community Levels protocols. At this time, both Harris and Fort Bend Counties have reached and maintained the “Low” level status for a period time sufficient to revise the masking policy. Masks are no longer required for staff and volunteers when delivering HMNS programming involving children.
The health and safety of our patrons is always our first priority. The CDC recommends that unvaccinated individuals, those at high risk for severe illness and persons potentially exposed to Covid-19 continue to wear a mask. HMNS Education staff understand that conditions surrounding COVID-19 may change and this policy may need to be amended in the future.
Please check back for updated information for Summer 2023. Additionally, information will be sent prior to your camper’s session.
Online Camper Health Form
The museum has partnered with CampDoc to provide an online health information management tool for summer campers and scouts at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Registered patrons will receive an email from noreply@campdoc.com with the subject: “Houston Museum of Natural Science via CampDoc.” (Email sample is below.) Please accept the invite and complete the profile for your registered camper or scout.
Please help us help your child by completing your camper’s profile with CampDoc and notifying us of any disabilities, allergies, accessibility concerns, behavioral, psychological or emotional concerns, or any other special needs.
While we strive to offer our summer programs to as a wide a range of children as possible, it is not possible for us to offer one-on-one care.
In the case of severe food allergies, it is not possible for us to monitor what other children bring to the museum.
