COVID-19 HEALTH AND SAFETY

We are committed to keeping our guests, employees, volunteers, and extended community informed and prepared regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus), and we’ll respond quickly to local government recommendations, guidance, and direction. As the situation is rapidly changing, please visit our COVID-19 page for the latest updates.

The Basics

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations made at least one week prior to the start of a program are eligible for a full refund or credit, minus a $5.00 cancellation fee per child. Cancellations after that are eligible for a 50% refund or credit. No refund or credit will be given if a cancellation is made on the day of the program or later.

COVID-19 Temporary Update to Cancellation Policy


Please keep your child home if they are sick with fever and/or cold or flu symptoms. Students with acute respiratory illness should not attend Eugene Science Center programs until they are free of fever and other symptoms for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing or other symptom-altering medicines. Whether it is the flu, COVID-19, or even the common cold, we want to limit germ exposure as best we can.

If your child is ill, keep them at home. Children showing cold- or flu-like symptoms while attending a Eugene Science Center camp or workshop will be immediately sent home with no refund.

If your child is ill on the day of the program and you keep them at home, you may request a credit to be used toward a future Eugene Science Center program. This is a temporary policy to encourage public health safety. Further questions regarding sick policies may be sent to [email protected].

 

Note: For second graders, you may choose an age group during registration (k-2nd or 2nd-5th).  This is so you may choose a group of younger or older peers for your learner based on your own assessment and preference.

Upcoming Workshops

March 26, 2020: We have temporarily paused all registration for No School Day workshops. If we are able offer the program before it’s final date of May 25th, we will reach out to regular attendees and reopen online registration as soon as possible.
