ScienceWorks Summer Camp Scholarships are Now Available

We are pleased to announce that AllCare Health has awarded ScienceWorks another year of scholarship funding. Scholarship applications are now open for the Summer 2026 camp season.

Thanks to the generosity of AllCare Health, ScienceWorks is able to offer Summer Camp scholarships at more than an 80% discount, reducing the cost to just $50 per child, per week. At this time, each child is eligible to receive one scholarship, which covers one week of camp.

Scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis to families who participate in a food assistance program (such as WIC, EBT, or SNAP) or are enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan (OHP). We are also pleased to offer scholarships to school staff with proof of employment.

To apply for a camp scholarship, please complete the application form on our website. If your application is approved, we’ll send you a discount code to use during registration.

What does “home” mean to you?

Join us for the opening reception of The Home Project at ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum. Through powerful portrait photography and artist-interpreted works, this moving exhibition explores identity, resilience, and belonging in Southern Oregon. Meet the artists, hear behind-the-scenes stories, and experience an exhibition that asks people "to slow down, listen, and recognize themselves in one another.”
Free and open to the public.

UPDATE: Our website is up and running again. Thank you for your patience while we worked through the issue.

Our website is temporarily down. We’re working to resolve the issue and will share an update as soon as it’s back up. Thanks for your patience!

When art and science come together, they don’t just overlap, they expand what’s possible, helping people not only understand the world, but connect with it. Art and science work so well together because they’re really two ways of exploring the same thing: how the world works.

Science asks questions like “What is this?” and “How does it function?” Art asks “What does it feel like?” and “How can we experience it?” Put them together, and you get a fuller understanding, both analytical and human.

Kick off your summer with art that brings our community together. Three free events. One creative community. Join us this June as art, stories, and connection come to life at ScienceWorks.

The Home Project — Opening Reception
Be among the first to experience The Home Project, a powerful exhibit sharing stories of belonging through portraiture and art, on view at ScienceWorks through August. Artist talks and behind-the-scenes footage at 4 PM followed by opening reception from 5 to 6 PM.
