SUMMARY:Summer Science Camps
DESCRIPTION:The discovery that happens at AMOS camps makes concrete\, measurable contributions to student success\, not only in the classroom environment\, but in broader measures of youth development\, maturity\, and career success. \nEach week is filled with expert-designed STEAM programming to contribute to our campers’ interest in and understanding of concepts ranging from exploring our natural world\, and computer programming to chemistry. \nIn 2026 we are offering three camp age ranges: 1) rising kindergarten and first graders\, 2) rising second and third graders\, and 3) rising fourth and fifth graders. Registration for week-long packages begins January 12 and will be open through August 2. Registration for single days of camp will be available April 13 through August 6. \nChanges This Summer\n\nThree camp age ranges:\n\nrising kindergarten and first graders\nrising second and third graders\nrising fourth and fifth graders.\n\n\nRegistration dates:\n\nWeek-long packages: January 12 through August 2\nSingle days of camp:  April 13 through August 6\n\n\nRegistering for multiple weeks or multiple campers?\n\nContact us for assistance\n828.254.7162\ncamps@ashevillescience.org\n\n\n\nSummer Camp 2026 Weekly Themes\n\nWeek 1: June 15-19: Paleontology and Archaeology: Campers will explore fossils and evidence of the past with hands-on activities.\n\nRising K-1st Week 1 Registration>>>\nRising 2nd-3rd Week 1 Registration>>>\nRising 4th- 5th Week 1 Registration>>>\nWeek 1 Aftercare Registration>>>\n\n\nWeek 2: June 22-26: Tinkering Workshop: Campers will be introduced to the use of tools and materials with imaginative prompts. \n\nRising K-1st Week 2 Registration>>>\nRising 2nd-3rd Week 2 Registration>>>\nRising 4th-4th Week 2 Registration>>> \nWeek 2 Aftercare Registration>>>\n\n\nWeek 3: June 29 – July 3: Space Explorers: Campers will explore outer space!\n\nRising K-1st Week 3 Registration>>>\nRising 2nd-3rd Week 3 Registration>>>\nRising 4th-5th Week 3 Registration>>> \nWeek 3 Aftercare Registration>>>\n\n\nWeek 4: July 6-10: The Natural World: From animals and plants to rocks and volcanos\, campers will be surprised by the natural world.\n\nRising K-1st Week 4 Registration>>>\nRising 2nd-3rd Week 4 Registration>>>\nRising 4th-5th Week 4 Registration>>> \nWeek 4 Aftercare Registration>>>\n\n\nWeek 5: July 13-17: The Art of Science: Campers will be amazed at the ways science and art are interconnected!\n\nRising K-1st Week 5 Registration>>>\nRising 2nd-3rd Week 5 Registration>>>\nRising 4th-5th Week 5 Registration>>> \nWeek 5 Aftercare Registration>>>\n\n\nWeek 6: July 20-24: Chemistry: Campers will experiment with everyday chemicals to explore concepts like pH\, capillary action\, and chemical reactions.\n\nRising K-1st Week 6 Registration>>>\nRising 2nd-3rd Week 6 Registration>>>\nRising 4th-5th Week 6 Registration>>>\nWeek 6 Aftercare Registration>>>\n\n\nWeek 7: July 27 – July 31: Forces and Energy: Campers have fun with physics concepts to make things drop\, stop and roll!\n\nRising K-1st Week 7 Registration>>>\nRising 2nd-3rd Week 7 Registration>>>\nRising 4th-5th Week 7 Registration>>>\nWeek 7 Aftercare Registration>>>\n\n\nWeek 8: August 3 – 7: The Art of Science II: Campers will continue to be amazed at the ways science and art are interconnected!\n\nRising K-1st Week 8 Registration>>>\nRising 2nd-3rd Week 8 Registration>>>\nRising 4th-5th Week 8 Registration>>>\nWeek 8 Aftercare Registration>>>

SUMMARY:After Hours: Secrets of Space
DESCRIPTION:  \nAMOS 21+ night is back this summer with Secrets of Space!\nWhy is space so mysterious? What is it keeping from you? Why won’t it just let you up there already?! \nJoin us as we tackle the ins\, outs and way way way outs of space to celebrate our summer exhibit Gifts from the Galaxy. \nTour the Galaxy- Book a stellar sightseeing tour of our solar system’s inner and outer planets with our Interplanetary Travel Agency on our 360 GeoGlobe. Get your photo taken on your favorite planet and collect postcards from your “vacation”! \nWelcome to the Space Gem- Explore what it takes to make a gemstone in space and get up close to some space gems from our extensive gem collection. \nMeteorite Lab- Work with the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute and use real meteorite specimens to learn how to detect meteorites in your own backyard. \nBlack Holes and Gravity Wells – Find out what happens when two black holes just can’t keep away from each other! \nSpace Lasers- Explore the mysterious world of LIGO- Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Can you make your own LIGO laser maze? \nMoon Talkers- Jade Aster of Moon Talkers will show you how to capture the Moon’s good side with polaroid astral photography. \nTastes like Space- Sample the foods you’ll be eating on a colonized Mars and grab a little preserved space treat while you’re at it. \nLunar Gardening- Learn about Appalachian folkways and the tradition of planting by the zodiac signs to yield better crops with Transylvania County Library. \nStar Stories- Discover constellation stories only fit for AMOS’ After Hours patrons! \nPlus many more activities and things waiting for you. \nFree drinks courtesy of our pals at DISSOLVR. \nGET YOUR TICKETS HERE \nMust be 21+.

SUMMARY:Measurement Rules!
DESCRIPTION:A FEATURED EXHIBITION FROM CHILDREN’S MUSEUM OF PITTSBURGH  \nThe Asheville Museum of Science presents Measurement Rules\, developed by Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh\, PA). On view September 23rd-January 10th\, 2027.  \nMeasurement is an essential part of our lives\, but not always easy to understand. Gauge height\, distance\, volume and more in Measurement Rules\, an interactive exhibit that introduces visitors to various units of measurement. Master the basics and then begin to compare\, classify and categorize different ways to measure using traditional—and not-so-traditional—tools. Hands-on experiences allow visitors to understand measurement in relation to the world around them\, collaborate with others and become confident in the language of measurement. In this exhibit\, visitors can:  \n\nStep on the Chicken Scale to see how many chickens they weigh! \n\n\nCount Five Mississippi’s and see how close they can get to doing it in five actual seconds. \n\n\nMeasure balls of different sizes using tools such as rulers\, calipers\, and gauges. Sort the balls into the shoots to test their measurements. \n\n\nUse the cubic blocks to build animals at the Block Table. Visitors can guess how many one inch blocks they used to build their animal and then count to see if their guess was right. The number of one inch blocks used equals the animal’s volume!
