Campers get to take home their own rocket and other creations, extending the learning and wonder beyond camp hours.
Galaxy Defenders camp takes elementary-aged campers on an exciting journey through space, focusing on the history of space travel and the mechanics of various space vehicles. Through hands-on activities, participants will gain practical experience with stomp, water, and engine-powered rockets, exploring the fundamental principles of physics that govern flight. The camp aims to spark curiosity about our Milky Way and foster an appreciation for scientific discovery. Campers will engage in interactive science activities, creative building projects, and take-home creations, reinforcing learning beyond camp hours. They will develop critical thinking skills by actively experimenting, building, and creating.
A typical day involves hands-on STEM activities, outdoor games, and creative building projects, with new topics and activities introduced daily.
This camp is best for curious elementary students who love asking 'why?' and 'how?' and are eager to explore space and the physics of flight through engaging experiments.
