 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.

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.

We’ll take a page from YWA’s Lively Literature Camps based on rollicking tales of piracy on the high seas. Draft a cartographer’s treasure map, fashion tree bark books, investigate the science of sinking ships, croon sea shanties & create swashbuckling maneuvers. Join a nautical adventure as you and your friends use your imagination to go “places not down in any map; true places never are.” -Melville
