Junior Space Explorer camp takes young aspiring astronauts on an exhilarating journey through the Milky Way with over twenty hands-on astronomy projects. Campers will actively engage in building and launching rockets, constructing telescopes, and utilizing solar glasses to safely observe the sun. Through these activities, they will gain a deeper understanding of stars, planets, and galaxies, fostering an early appreciation for space science and engineering principles. The curriculum is designed to encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and scientific inquiry through interactive experiments such as creating a glow-in-the-dark model of Saturn, designing a UV bracelet, and building a sundial. This immersive experience aims to spark curiosity and develop foundational STEM skills in a fun and engaging environment.
A typical day includes general check-in, an all-camp science demonstration, and three S.T.E.A.M rotations with hands-on activities. Campers also have snack breaks, lunch with recess, and an outdoor component for team and skill building.
This camp is ideal for elementary-aged children curious about space, aspiring rocket scientists, or future astronauts who enjoy hands-on astronomy projects and exploring beyond Earth's atmosphere.
