Campers get to design and build their own mini space rockets while learning about the wonders of space.
Ready to Launch camp ignites children's fascination with space engineering and science through hands-on activities. Campers will learn about and design their own mini space rockets, exploring concepts of space flight, space travel, and life in our solar system and beyond. The program aims to foster curiosity, innovation, and critical thinking skills as participants engage in projects that blend scientific principles with creative design. This specialty camp provides an adventurous and educational experience for elementary-aged children interested in the final frontier.
A typical day at a YMCA camp involves devotion/huddle time, four to five activity times, lunch, two snack breaks, and a swim time. Campers move with their huddle to different activities such as arts and crafts, field games, and more.
This camp is best for young adventurers eager to explore space engineering and science through hands-on rocket design and learning about the solar system.
