Space Camp Space Camp uses space to excite and educate children ages 9-11 in the fields of math, science and technology. Teamwork, self-confidence and communication will be achieved through state-of-the-art simulations, missions, rocket building and robotics. Everything you need to know about Space Shuttle Systems and life aboard the Orbiter and Space Station. Try out space food, learn to sleep in space and even how to go to the bathroom in space! Astronaut training will continue on the Multi-Axis trainer that spins you all around, just like the Mercury Astronauts. You will take a turn on the 5-Degrees of Freedom Chair (it’s like a chair floating on air) training just like the Gemini astronauts. Next, you will train like Apollo astronauts did for their trip to the moon by taking a walk in the 1/6th Gravity Chair! And finally, campers strap on our own version of a jet pack — an MMU, that’s NASA talk for a Manned Maneuvering Unit — and maneuver around on a cushion of air. Campers will take time off from a busy training schedule for water activities, but not too much, because it’s off to rocket construction to build and launch your own one-stage model rocket. Space Track In addition to a Shuttle Mission, space track campers go through extensive Mars training to prepare for interplanetary travel. Learn about the planet, its soil, geology, climate and atmosphere. Receive crew assignments, and your're ready to go! Settle into your new home - Mars Outpost - Alpha Station. Explore the surface of Mars. Conduct experiments on the soil and rocks collected, as well as keeping everything on board the Mars Outpost running smoothly. Once the mission is complete, it is time to head home to Earth. Space & Aviation Track Learn flight dynamics, wilderness survival, teamwork, and spend time in our high-performance jet fighter simulators. Learn all the skills American fighter pilots use to rule the skies. What makes an airplane fly? We'll teach you the principles of flight, not in the classroom, but standing next to an F-16 or F-14!
