Scholarships AvailablePacific Science Center is proud to offer summer camp scholarships for families in our community facing financial hardships. Scholarships provide a full week of unforgettable, hands-on science experiences for students who otherwise would not have access to this programming. Applications will be available online on January 22. For more information, please contact us at [email protected], with the subject

“Summer Camp Scholarships.”

Ignite Their CuriosityDonors like you ensure that families facing financial hardship have access to hands-on science camp experiences. Last summer more than $41,000 in scholarships were provided for campers all over the Puget Sound! This included 20 scholarships specially designated for foster youth in care at our partner Mary’s Place. But there is still much progress to be made; only one out of three applications for scholarship was able to be granted due to limited funds.

That’s why your support this year is essential! Please join us by adding on a gift for camp scholarships when you register using our online portal. Or contact the Development team at (206) 443-2878 or [email protected] for more information on how to support camp scholarships today. Thank you for your generous support.

Sensory-Friendly Camps

Pacific Science Center offers several sensory-friendly camps throughout the summer. These camps are adapted for children with sensory processing disorders and/or on the autism spectrum. We recommend choosing a sensory-friendly camp for your child if they work better in a quieter space. Here is what you can expect from a sensory-friendly camp:

� Reduction of loud sounds � Availability of a sensory toolbox (with fidgets, headphones, timers, and visual aids)

� Quiet zones or “take a break” spaces � Auditory, visual and kinesthetic-tactile activities that maximize a child’s ability to relax, learn and play

� Movement, stretching and breathing exercises � Supported transition times � Lower camper to staff ratios

Look for the sensory-friendly symbol to identify these camp sessions.
