New This Year: Sensory-Friendly Programming

This summer, Pacific Science Center will be piloting Sensory-Friendly Camps. 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, calmer space.

Here is what you can expect from a Sensory-Friendly Camp:

• Reduction of loud sounds

• Availability of a sensory toolbox (including fidgets, headphones, timers, visual aids, etc.)

• Quiet zones or “take a break” space

• Auditory, visual and kinesthetic-tactile activities that maximize a child’s ability to relax, learn and play

• Movement activities, i.e. stretching and breathing exercises, may be incorporated into schedule

• Supported transition times

Look for the Sensory-Friendly symbol to identify these camp sessions.

Science of Sailing with CWB

Pacific Science Center and Seattle’s leading hands-on maritime heritage center, The Center for Wooden Boats (CWB), have teamed up to create a week of fun, science-filled sailing. Delve into the math and physics behind sailing and design. Investigate the convergence of wind, water and weather, as well as the cause and effect of the wind in your sails and your hand at the helm. Spend your mornings at Pacific Science Center modeling boats and conducting experi-ments, then travel to CWB to spend the afternoons sailing eight-foot wooden El Toro prams on Lake Union.

Drop off at Pacific Science Center and pick up at CWB. (Afternoon extended care not available for this session.) Students will walk with staff to CWB from Pacific Science Center.

Sailing is weather-dependent. Each day, instructors at CWB will determine whether the conditions are safe enough for students to sail. Additional activities will be arranged if sailing is not possible.

Trash to Treasures

Go beyond the classic reduce, reuse and recycle. It’s time to UP-cycle your trash into treasure as you dive into the sustainability of stuff. Investigate how far across the planet our trash travels and what happens when we throw stuff away. Then, take steps to reduce your impacts. Practice leaving no trace on a hike, make your own recycled paper, and turn old T-shirts into a new rug. Explore the difference between reusing and recycling and practice better op-tions than throwing things away. We can make a better world, one person and project at a time!
