If you are 11-15 years old, interested in spaceships, aerodynamics, microgravity, robotics, rocket assembly and launching, and weather, then Space Flight Adventure Camp is the place to be this summer! Their students have the extraordinary opportunity to go behind the scenes at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility where they get an up close look at the United States rocketry program, thanks to our partnerships with NASA, NOAA and the US Navy. In addition to a NASA backstage pass, campers collaborate on two major projects: rocketry and robotics. Campers build and launch several types of model rockets, and work in teams of two or three to build and program small robots using Lego Mindstorms NXT systems. By weeks end, campers have gained firsthand experience of a wide range of aerospace careers in an atmosphere designed to fuel enthusiasm.
