TESTIMONIAL:

"My daughter had a blast during the camp they held here! Eric, Ben, and Brett were so helpful and patient! It's so clean, and I love the atmosphere here! My daughter came home talking about the Circulatory Blood system; the next day, she was talking about the Solar System. Lunch was provided, and there were snacks as well. We can't wait for our next visit!"

VR Summer Camp FAQs

  • Arctic Sun VR first started operating Summer Camps with their first week, "Week 1 | Launch", in 2019. In 2021, Arctic Sun VR introduced its second full week of Educational Summer Camp, "Week 2 | Innovaiton".

  • Educational VR Summer Camps are 1-week camps which take place from Monday through Friday. Drop-off for the Summer Camps are from 8:30-9:00am and pick up is from 4:30-5:30.

  • We understand that your child's health and safety are paramount. Similarly, ensuring the safety of all our guests is our foremost concern. Hence, we will inquire about any allergies or dietary restrictions on multiple occasions before your child commences camp. Within our booking forms for both Summer and Winter camps, there's a checkbox provided to indicate any allergy or dietary restriction for campers. Additionally, on the first day of camp during the drop-off and check-in, parents are asked to complete a camper information form, documenting essential details such as emergency contacts, allergies/dietary restrictions, and medications. Arctic Sun VR also issues a Camper ID to each camper, listing any food allergies identified during the booking process and camp check-in.

  • Absolutely, a great time awaits them. Since its inception in 2019, Arctic Sun VR has been creating a vibrant and engaging educational camp environment. The trend of campers returning to enjoy the same week of camp over successive years is a testament to our Summer Camp program! Be sure to glance through our reviews on Google and Facebook to read about the enjoyable experiences recounted by previous campers.

  • Unfortunately, at this time we do not offer single day bookings for our Educational VR Camps. We are exploring the potential for single day camp bookings in the future, but we do not offer them at this time.

  • The VR Winter STEM Camps are a slightly abridged version of our Educational VR Summer Camp offerings, but the vast majority of the content is the same. The Winter Edu STEM Camps were created with homschoolers in mind, but are open to all guests ages 8-16.

  • Arctic Sun VR requires at least 4 campers to be signed up in order to run a camp. If less than 4 campers are signed up for a camp session, Arctic Sun VR may elect to not run the cmp session. In the event that there are not enough campers signed up for a session and Arctic Sun VR decides to cancel the session, campers will either be scheduled on a future session or be provided a full refund for their camp booking.

  • Arctic Sun VR provides a snack along with a Subway Boxed Lunch for every camper daily throughout the camp. Should you wish to supply your child with extra snacks or an alternative lunch besides the provided Subway Boxed Lunch, you are certainly welcome to do so.
