Campers get exclusive access to the Bell Museum's world-class facilities, including its iconic exhibits and state-of-the-art planetarium, integrating these resources seamlessly into the learning experience.
Campers will launch into the final frontier of space exploration, gaining insight into what it takes to send satellites, rovers, and humans into space. The program delves into rocketry, lunar module design, and rover engineering. Campers will learn about current space missions and have opportunities to engineer their own spacecraft, developing solutions to real-world problems faced by aerospace engineers. Activities include hands-on investigation, visiting museum exhibits, games, creative projects, and guided outdoor exploration. The camp aims to spark curiosity, creativity, and out-of-this-world thinking through an action-packed blend of astronomy and engineering.
A typical day includes hands-on investigation, visiting museum exhibits, games, creative projects, and guided outdoor exploration, with a focus on aerospace engineering challenges and learning about current space missions.
This camp is best for children entering grades 5 and 6 in the 2026-27 school year who are curious about space exploration, rocketry, and engineering.
