Camp Kennedy Space Center® (en anglais)
Summer Day Camp
Camp KSC® launches the next generation of space explorers into a universe of NASA-based science and engineering at America’s premier spaceport. During this summer day camp, students ages 7 through 16 experience five days full of hands-on science, technology, engineering and math activities throughout Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex’s exhibits and attractions. Campers are entertained and challenged with curriculum comprised of exciting and educational adventures that are catered to fit each age group, leaving a lifelong impact.
Camp KSC Activities
Camp KSC activities take place throughout Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, including the Astronaut Training Experience (ATX)®, Mars Base 1, Apollo/Saturn V Center, Space Shuttle Atlantis® and Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex®. Each team participates in a variety of hands-on STEM challenges, labs and astronaut-training simulations designed specifically for their age group.
