The Cool Place to be When it’s Hot Outside! During the summer, and holiday school break, our Adventures in Space Summer & Holiday Camps offer elementary and middle school students a chance to learn how astronauts
live and work in space, launch rockets and explore
adventures related to the history of flight at a series of full day or half day camps put on by the Challenger Space Center.
*ASTRO-TOTS* Campers can attend morning, afternoon or combine two programs for a full-day experience. Grade levels alternate each week, separating children entering Kindergarten and first grade. Full-day campers must bring a sack lunch. Maximum enrollment: 20 children. Children must be at least 5 years of age and completely toilet trained. $110 per half-day session per child.
Space Explorers and the Mighty Planets of Eight Junior astronauts speed through the solar system with projects about our outer space neighbors. The camp incorporates math, literature and the creative arts within the science-space content. Star Power and the World Above Young campers explore what stars are made of, why they twinkle and all about the one remarkable star scientist know most about...the sun. Each day is filled with age-appropriate activities and space investigation activities. *MERCURY* Campers can attend either morning or afternoon sessions, or combine both for a full-day experience. Each session includes age-appropriate hands-on activities and fun projects. Full-day campers must bring a sack lunch. Maximum enrollment: 25 children. $110 per half-day session per child.
*GEMINI* Campers can attend either morning or afternoon sessions, or combine both for a full-day experience.
Each session includes age-appropriate hands-on activities and fun projects. Full-day campers must
bring a sack lunch. Maximum enrollment: 25 children. $110 per half-day session per child.
Extreme “Space” Makeovers: Space Structures Sometime this century, there’s a high probability that explorers from Earth will be living in space giving rise to an entire new breed of engineers, needing to design their own space habitats. The structures must be sturdy, yet lightweight, so they can be transported through the Earth’s gravitational field. Campers design, build and test prototype structures for outerspace living. Propelling Through Space For years scientists have experimented with breaking the hold of gravity using rockets, catapults, hot air balloons and other forms of human space travel. Campers investigate and create tools that propel, lift, toss and move items through air and space. So Many Planets, So Much to Learn As we discover more about the galaxies, we find that our solar system’s huge gas giants aren’t so big in comparison to other galaxy’s planets. If the newly observed ring around Saturn is so huge it would take 1 billion Earths to fill, then how BIG are these other planets. Campers explore the solar system and investigate our planetary neighbors here and beyond. Light and Energy Light is a form of energy that we can see even though it travels at 186,000 miles per second. It’s nature’s way of transferring energy through space. How does this incredibly fast moving speed of light transform what we know about the universe? *APOLLO* Each Cosmic Scientific Investigative camp (or CSI) runs full days, from 9am-4pm, for one week only and features hands-on activities that
explore new concepts and expands the minds of even the most skeptical young scientists. $250 per week. Maximum
enrollment is 25. Campers must bring a sack lunch.
