Overview
Space Camp has been helping inspire the next generation of explorers for more than 42 years. This internationally known program with more than one million alumni is based on NASA astronaut training and focuses on teamwork and leadership skills. Launched in 1982, Space Camp has inspired and motivated young people from around the country, and later the world, with attendees from all 50 states, U.S. territories, and 150 foreign countries. We offer space, aviation and robotics camps to children between the ages of 9 to 18, adults of all ages, families, and educators.
Camps are divided and 9-11 year olds go into Space Camp while 12-14 year olds join Space Academy and older teenagers become part of Advanced Space Academy.
Each of the programs is a week-long, and campers stay in dormitory-style rooms which are separated by gender. Camps are held at the Museum of Space History in Huntsville, Alabama.
Activities offered to campers mimic the training NASA astronauts go through. They will have a chance to try out the 1/6th Gravity Chair, build model rockets, launch a simulated mission to the ISS while learning what life is like on board, and loads more.
