YES! YEA! Days at The Science Factory


YES! YEA! No School Day Camps are a great option for kids on No School Days. We call them YES! YEA! Days because these one-day camps are “Young Escapades in Science” (YES!) and “Young Escapades in the Arts” (YEA!).

Held on several “no school” days throughout the year, these fun-packed days are held at The Science Factory in Eugene.  Kids in grades 1-5 can engage their artistic and scientific sides while exploring stories and scientific hands-on activities. Curiosity and imagination rule on YES! YEA! Day.

WHO: Grades 1-5
WHEN: On no-school days from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm (Drop-off from 8:30 - 9:00 am)
WHERE: The Science Factory is located at 2300 Leo Harris Parkway (South of Autzen Stadium in Alton Baker Park), Eugene.
BRING: A bag lunch and afternoon snack, outdoor clothes appropriate to the weather, and your imagination.

COST: Each YES! YEA! Day is $40 for non-members; $35 for YWA or Science Factory members.  
DISCOUNT: Sign up for 3 or more YES! YEA! Days for a $5 discount.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: One week before each YES! YEA! Day. Late registration fee: $5.
REGISTER: Please pre-register with the Science Factory. Click here for a registration form or visit www.sciencefactory.org/classes. Or call 541-682-7888.
