$74.95 | 1-Day Camp
Our future needs are for deep space travel. The Space Launch System will send Orion and other cargo to the Moon. Campers will gain an understanding of this advanced launch vehicle by designing and engineering a rocket to maximize the energy needed for launching into deep space.
$74.95 | 1-Day Camp
Campers will discover that rockets send robots into space. Learning the parts of a rocket, building, and designing model rockets, and launching them to simulate robot exploration of the solar system. Our young explorers learn how robots use sensors to navigate and study the composition of other space objects.
$74.95 | 1-Day Camp
Campers will discover all the features that make Earth the most desirable place to live in the Solar System. During this one-day camp, campers learn how the Earth needs the Sun to exist, how astronauts can live on the ISS and discover things in deep space using telescopes.
$74.95 | 1-Day Camp
All journeys begin with a single step. Campers begin their journey by learning about the various aspects of being an Astronaut, learn about the NBL (Neutral Buoyancy Lab) and building an end effector like the one a found on the ISS (International Space Station).
$74.95 | 1-Day Camp
Rocket Design is an important part of our past and the future of Space Flights. During this one-day camp experience of designing, building and launching various rockets, campers will gain a greater understanding of the history of rockets for space exploration.
$74.95 | 1-Day Camp
Robots help NASA explore the solar system where spacecraft travel to the moon or Mars. Through simulations, programing and rover challenges, campers use the Engineering Design Process to research, design, and build a Sphero-powered Mars Rover.
$74.95 | 1-Day Camp
Campers develop an understanding of our solar system and understand the vast distances between the planets. Through hands on engineering challenges, the use of robotics and creative design, all campers will learn what it takes to go beyond Earth for space travel.
$74.95 | 1-Day Camp
This one-day adventure will take you beyond the limits of challenges, learning more on how to protect the astronaut traveling through space. Through hands on engineering challenges, the use of robotics and creative designing, all campers will learn what it takes to journey beyond Earth.
Cost | $299.95

This lunar camp is designed to introduce young campers to the exploration of the Moon. While the journey takes astronauts to new levels, campers will have the chance to experience many robotic platforms to master basic coding challenges tied to the Moon mission. The young explorers will explore rocketry, astronaut training, exploration and living on the Moon.
Cost | $299.95
Drop Off | 8:30-9 a.m.
Pick Up | 3:30-4 p.m.
Understanding our greatest accomplishments in space and imagining new ones will inspire your explorer to take part in this adventure. Seek solutions to the obstacles of Earth-Moon space travel, engage in engineering design challenges, use robotic platforms, and delve into topics such as geology, rocketry, radiation, and mission training.
Cost | $299.95
Drop Off | 8:30-9 a.m.
Pick Up | 3:30-4 p.m.
We are going! Understand through hands-on engineering challenges, simulating lunar habitats, use of robotics platforms, and creative engineering developments what it takes to go back to the Moon.
Cost | $79.95
Drop Off | 5 p.m.
Pick Up | 10 p.m.
Explore with us for an evening about the planets of our Solar System. Campers experience a live planetarium show featuring the planets and their properties. Throughout this evening, participants will explore the Solar System, understand interplanetary travel, and learn about other planets.
Cost | $79.95
Drop Off | 5 p.m.
Pick Up | 10 p.m.
Take the journey through our solar system and go to places beyond. Attending a live Planetarium show, travel through the solar system and discover the differences in the planets. Experience our place in space as we travel through the solar system for an enjoyable, entertaining evening.
