How would you like to send your kids into outer space? US Space Camp offers programs for 4-12 graders and adults too. There is even a parent/child camp.
U.S. SPACE CAMP® is a five-day program jam-packed with astronaut training for young people. Activities include simulated Space Shuttle missions, IMAX® movies, training simulators (like the 1/6th Gravity Chair), rocket building and launches, scientific experiments, and lectures on the past, present, and future of space exploration. Kids must already be attending classes in the 4th grade and be at least 9 years old. The only other requirement is the desire to have a great time. The kids stay in bunk-bed style dorm rooms in our three locations -- Alabama (Huntsville), California (Mountain View), and Florida (Titusville). Tuition includes all meals, lodging, and program materials. It does not cover transportation.
They also offer programs for older students. SPACE ACADEMY® is for young people ages 12-14 and ADVANCED SPACE ACADEMY® is for students in grades 15-18. Another popular program is Parent/Child SPACE CAMP -- a weekend of activities and missions where an adult/child pairs go through the same program together.
Locations: SPACE CAMP® is offered at three locations: Huntsville, Alabama; Mountain View, California; and Titusville, Florida. Visit their website for international locations.
