August STEAM Social:
Summer Camp Edition
Friday, August 8
6 to 8 PM
Free for members and SOU Students
$10 non-members
Who says summer camp is just for kids? At this month’s STEAM Social, we’re bringing the ScienceWorks summer camp experience to a fun, relaxed evening designed for curious minds of all ages.
Enjoy hands-on crafts, creative play, and science workshops at interactive stations like our Scat Kitchen (yes, edible poop!), pH Potion Experiments, Paper Forest, and Pipe Cleaner Bracelets. Whether you're 6 or 60, there's something here to spark your imagination.
We’ll also be joined by Jackson County Library Services, Willow Wind School, and Ashland Schools Student Services, who will be sharing helpful back-to-school resources for families preparing for fall.
The evening features a special performance by local favorite Jen Joy with her touring show Yo-yo Magic.Fun! — a joyful mix of yo-yo stunts, magic, and an inspiring message about effort, openness, and growth. Stick around after the show to try some tricks yourself during the hands-on yo-yo session!
Whether you’re a kid, a grown-up, or somewhere in between, this is your chance to rediscover the magic of summer camp — with a science twist.
Creative Dance for Children

We’re teaming up with Creative Dance for Children to offer joyful movement classes for kids 7 and under, Fridays from July 11 to August 29. Held in our colorful Pacific Crest Cove, classes are $10–15 drop-in or $68–100 for the series. Member discounts available! Register at CreativeDance.me

Flynn Creek Circus
The circus is coming!
ScienceWorks is thrilled to welcome Flynn Creek Circus back for the third year! Performing under their iconic red and white striped Big Top, this award-winning circus-theater company brings awe-inspiring acrobatics and theatrical magic to Ashland starting September 5. Their 2025 show, The Bridge, draws on Nordic myth and the power of connection, weaving stunning visuals, jaw-dropping stunts, irreverent comedy, and unexpected twists into an unforgettable performance. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind experience! Purchase your tickets on the Flynn Creek website.
