Campers become astronauts-in-training through hands-on activities and learn about space exploration, including trying real space food.
Little Space Explorer camp transforms young participants into astronauts-in-training, fostering an interest in the cosmos and the Milky Way. Campers engage in hands-on activities such as making moon sand and creating fizzing planets. They also get to experience eating space ice cream and learn about concepts like zero gravity and how objects weigh in space. The curriculum includes exploring the planets of our solar system and understanding the life of an astronaut. Through these interactive projects and experiments, children gain basic scientific knowledge and develop a deeper appreciation for space exploration.
A typical day involves morning greetings, a STEAM activity or experiment, snack breaks, indoor or outdoor activities, lunch, another STEAM activity, and concludes with clean-up and dismissal.
This camp is best for young children in PreK and Kindergarten who are curious about space and enjoy hands-on learning experiences.
