The camp offers a unique blend of hands-on space and flight-themed activities, including a homemade planetarium and "eggstronaut" launches, designed to spark curiosity and build STEM skills.
Science Explorers' Astronaut Academy is a week-long day camp designed for elementary-aged children to explore the wonders of space and flight through hands-on activities. Campers will delve into astronomy by taking an out-of-this-world sky tour in a homemade planetarium, learning about stars and constellations. They will engage in engineering challenges such as building and launching their own rockets, applying Newton's Laws of Motion. The program also includes designing and constructing model space stations for a mission to Mars and working in engineering teams to build space capsules to launch "eggstronauts." Through these activities, campers will develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills while fostering a lifelong love for STEM. The camp emphasizes active participation, allowing children to learn by doing and making discoveries through experiments and projects.
A typical day involves exploring stars in a homemade planetarium, building and launching rockets, designing model space stations, and working with robotic arms.
This camp is best for curious elementary-aged children who are eager to explore space, flight, and engineering through hands-on experiments and collaborative challenges.
