Eugene Science Center Camps are part of an organization whose mission is to inspire scientific curiosity and foster critical thinking about the universe and our place in it. Eugene Science Center offers educational programming that serves children ages 0 to 14 along with their families, teachers, and guardians, and also works with business partners, broader impacts partnerships, and facility rentals. Eugene Science Center was founded in 1961 as the southwest branch of the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, became an independent 501(c)(3) corporation in 1977 as the Willamette Science & Technology Center, opened in its current form in January 1980, adopted the name “Science Factory” in 2002, and changed its name to Eugene Science Center in 2018. The primary brand color of Eugene Science Center is YInMn Blue, a pigment discovered in 2009 by Mas Subramanian at Oregon State University, and its icon is a creative twist of the Fibonacci sequence. Camps for rising 1st–2nd graders are capped at 14 campers per session, with a second camp for rising 1st–2nd graders available for the first six weeks of summer capped at 10 campers per session, and camps for rising 3rd–5th graders are capped at 14 campers per session unless otherwise noted. The ESC Summer Camp Program will pause for the last week of July, and waiting lists are available for sold out camps. Children must complete kindergarten before enrolling in summer camp. Early and late care are included in the extended drop-off and pick-up times. Members receive early registration access for Summer Camp 2026 on February 26, 2026 at 10:00 am, before public registration opens on February 27, 2026 at 10:00 am. Cancellations made at least 4 weeks before the start of a program are eligible for a 100% refund or credit minus a $30 processing fee, cancellations made more than 2 weeks prior are eligible for a 50% refund or credit, and no refund or credit is given for cancellations made 2 weeks or less before the start of a program.
