Kids Programming offers members under the age of 13 a place to relax, play, and share their knowledge of everything from LEGO building to the best slime mix-ins to how many times you can fit 6-7 in a conversation. Come and join us for some fun as we share stories, create masterpieces, and make discoveries together. Let’s show these robots what we’re made of. Look for us in the Kids Programming room and throughout the convention all weekend!
Please note that Kids Programming is not babysitting and only children with paid memberships can attend programming unaccompanied*. Children under 5 may need assistance for some activities.

*Please see our Registration page for more information regarding Youth and Kid-In-Tow (KiT) memberships.
Youth
This reduced rate membership level is available for children ages 10 – 15 and must be purchased with an Adult or Young Adult membership. Children with a Youth membership are welcome to wander convention space independently with the understanding that their responsible adult must also be present at the convention. We reserve the right to require the child to be accompanied by an adult in the event of concerns over behavior.
Kid-in-Tow (KiT)
This free membership level is available for our younger audience – under the age of 12 at the time of the convention – with the purchase of an Adult or Young Adult membership. Multiple KiT memberships may be associated with a single Adult membership. As Capricon does not provide child care, children with a KiT membership must be accompanied by their responsible adult while in convention space, including while attending Children’s Programming. Any Kid-in-Tow found unattended at the con will be escorted to the Operations department so the parents can be located. Children between the ages of 10-12 also have the option of a Youth membership, which will allow them to be independent at the convention.
