Pick-up and School Transportation Planning

We have designed our program to be flexible and to accommodate participants that attend traditional and year round schools. No one is going to miss out on opportunities to experience science. We will be open Tuesday through Friday from 8a to 7p with Saturdays reserved for family field trips. We will be offering after school options with school pickup for our year round school participants (DC Virgo, Snipes, Douglass Academy, Freeman, Codington). The hours for the after school program are 3p-7p. For those Ambassador participants that do not have access to transportation, we are able to provide home pick up and drop off as well as school pickup.

Please indicate your transportation needs below. Spaces are limited but we will do everything to accommodate all needs of the youth:
