SPACE CAMP
FOR AGES 9-11
Launch into the adventure of a lifetime when you join the ranks of Space Camp® where aspiring explorers train to live and work in space. This is your opportunity to command, navigate and contribute to a sophisticated space mission simulation.
ARE YOU READY TO TAKE OFF?
Suit up for a mission to the International Space Station or train for a moon landing! Space Camp is the ultimate aerospace experience. Throughout the week, crew trainers guide trainees through simulated astronaut training using equipment adapted from NASA’s astronaut program.
