Learn more about it here: Saturday Workshops.

  • $3,000,000 Total Policy Limit

Two more questions!

• 11. Do you offer group discounts?

  Yes we do. You get a 10% group discount off the total price when you sign up for four or more camps. This applies to any SMARTech camp whether you do it as a group of families or as a single family. So, signing up for four or more camps earns you the discount, however the payment must be made by check or cash only. The online payment system is not set up for discounted prices.

• 12. What's your privacy policy & what's your mission statement?

  Our privacy policy is very simple, we strictly adhere to the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." 

  All private information you voluntarily provide during registration or to receive future email updates will never be shared with anyone else; and of course, you always reserve the right to unsubscribe from our email list. Your privacy is so sacrosanct to us that we do not even leave behind browser cookies (those tiny text files created with good intentions but that can also be used as spyware) on your computer, which you can verify yourself. This website is 100% family friendly and safe to use with all downloadable files scanned for viruses, malware and spyware and verified to be free of all.  

  Ah the mission statement! Sorry for our lack of that missionary zeal, but we don't have one! Our simple objective here is to provide an opportunity for students between the ages of 4-13 to explore, discover and learn the FUNdamental principles, concepts and terminology of SMART while having great fun. We just want to do our modest part to help students learn teamwork and develop critical thinking skills that are necessary for personal and academic success. That's all!
