Many of the camps are part of Prism, an engineering and innovation initiative made possible by the generous support of the L. David Mounts Foundation and many other community partners. Prism encourages Pre-K through 12th grade students living and learning in greater Winston-Salem, NC, to participate in creative, inquiry-based STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) learning and exploration in an informal educational setting. In addition to the L David Mounts Foundation, Prism is supported by Collins Aerospace, Cook Medical, Corning Foundation, Piedmont Natural Gas, Siemens, and WestRock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my child need to wear a mask during Camp?

What are your sanitation and safety protocols?
Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our campers, guests, staff, and animals. Long before Coronavirus appeared, Kaleideum prioritized keeping the Museums clean and disinfected. We will continue to meet the highest standards of our cleaning protocol, which includes disinfecting our facilities, exhibits, and exhibit props daily with an EPA approved, hospital-grade disinfectant proven to kill COVID-19. Kaleideum staff follow basic hygiene practices, such as frequent handwashing and using alcohol-based sanitizers. Kaleideum staff received training on COVID-19 response through the Workforce Restart program. Campers will learn and practice proper hand washing techniques. There is a sink in each classroom.
