Welcome to our family at Kids Science Labs. If you are reading this page, you probably are looking for a quick guide on how to join a waitlist and more importantly getting into Summer Camp at KSL from the waitlist. You can use our KSL member website to see information about our programs, purchase a membership, see your class and camp reservations, look at upcoming events such as day-off and holiday camps, update your member profile, make payments, and to join a waitlist list, should any program reach capacity.  This page is here to help you navigate how to join and manage the waitlist 

How Does the Waitlist Work?
We are fortunate to have a wonderful program that has inspired kids for over a decade. The consequence, is often our camps and classes are in high demand and sell out months in advance.  Plans change, vacations happen, and the uncertainty of summer does mean that In a typical year, up to 20% of the folks on a waitlist list may make into our summer camps and classes. Once you have been added to a waitlist, the system will automatically notify when a spot becomes eligible based on your waitlist position. If you are #1 on the waitlist, and someone cancels, you will be immediately notified, and then the person who was #2 on the waitlist, moves into the #1 position. Less frequently, we may be able to increase capacity of our center for some reason, and that too can create additional spots for summer camp. 


We also are providing the below written guide: Once a class has reached its capacity limit, customers need to follow three quick steps to join a waitlist:
  1. Login to KSL Member Connect (if you are reading this, you are already there... kslseattle.sites.zenplanner.com) and select "SIGN-UP"
  2. Select the Waitlist membership then proceed to the CALENDAR to select up to four  summer camps or classes to waitlist
  3. Check your email as it has a confirmation message for your waitlist


The waitlist is a first come, first serve system. It's important to note that buying the WAITLIST ACCESS membership still requires an action to go back to the calendar and select which week you want to join the waitlist.  When you join the waitlist for summer, you are given a timestamp and a position for that specific week of camp, which you can see from our Member Portal. There are three easy steps (1) Review the weeks and themes of summer camp, to identify which dates work best for you (2) Purchase a "Waitlist Access to KSL Membership" using the "sign-up" option in the left sidebar (3) Use the calendar on the Member Portal to go to those classes and click the "Waitlist" button, which is what will give you a position and time stamp. We encourage families to join the waitlist as many people who join, also change their plans and you could have the 21st position and still make it into camp. The waitlist often has a small reservation fee that is non-refundable, to ensure that everyone on the waitlist list pays the same reservation fee as all other members, so when a spot is awarded, you can just be added to the camp.  Being on a waitlist is NOT a guarantee to make it into camp. 

Once you have a "Waitlist Access to KSL" membership, simply go to the calendar and select a class that you desire to join the waitlist and click the green "Waitlist" button as shown below:


When a spot becomes available in camp, you will receive an email message asking if you to confirm the available spot and pay the full required deposit to reserve the camp.

Purchase a Waitlist Membership
To purchase a Waitlist membership, just click the "Sign-Up" link in the left navigation bar.  Once you have purchased a waitlist membership, there is one more step, which is to join "waitlist" for the specific class or camp, so we can establish your position on the waitlist.
