The camp provides a unique opportunity to explore the wonders of the cosmos through practical, hands-on astronomy and space science activities.
The American Bootes Astronomical Society (ABAS) 2026 STEM Summer Camp offers middle school campers an immersive experience in space science and astronomy. Participants will engage in hands-on activities such as creating star maps, launching water rockets, and learning astrophotography techniques. The camp aims to empower young minds through STEM education, democratize access to the stars through local outreach, and bridge the gap between humanity and the cosmos. Campers will gain practical skills in scientific exploration and develop a deeper understanding of the universe.
This camp is ideal for middle school students who are curious about space, enjoy hands-on science activities, and want to explore careers in astronomy and STEM.
