GENERAL INFO

ScienceWorks proudly offers high-quality and fun science-based summer camps for the Rogue Valley since 2003. In-person, small class sizes, guest speakers, and exciting locally inspired investigations make our camps accessible and engaging. Our campers will be divided into 3 cohorts based on ability level to ensure that each camper is able to feel successful and engage with the content at their own pace. 

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.
