Summer Camp 2023 - AWESOME OREGON

Awesome Oregon

Kick off the summer by doing hands-on, real science projects exploring Oregon's biodiversity and ecology. From beaver dams to nature scavenger hunts, our campers are ready to get their hands dirty and learn about the world around them.

GENERAL INFO

ScienceWorks camps are led by experienced instructors and children's curiosity. We have three camp sections weekly to ensure all campers are surrounded by potential new friends in their age and ability range. Our camp instructors are experienced and comfortable with supporting different learning styles and needs, such as ADHD and neurodivergence. 

Please choose your camper's ability level and cohort using the following guidelines:

Beginner (suggested ages 6-7) Beginner campers will work in groups and individually, use basic tools like scissors, and focus on fun maker projects.

Intermediate (suggested ages 8-10) Intermediate campers will engage our content more individually, use more advanced tools like hot glue guns, and explore larger concepts through their own interest and research. 

Advanced (suggested ages 11-12) Advanced campers will have much more autonomy to explore advanced topics, use power tools, tablets, and laptops, and have longer stretches of individual creative time. 

Campers may be reassigned to a different cohort by camp staff based on a variety of factors. 

If you would like to know more about our cohorts and ability levels, reach out to the Camp Manager at education@scienceworksmuseum.org to discuss options.

A limited number of camp scholarships are available. If your family has EBT (Oregon Trail Card), SNAP or free school lunches and would like to apply for a camp scholarship, please email scholarship@scienceworksmuseum.org one piece of official correspondence reflecting that your family receives this type of assistance and we will reach out to you.
