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 the all-new 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.
Campers will dive into missions such as:
Mars habitation operations to solve possible emergencies
A microgravity simulator, learning to work in a frictionless environment during a simulated spacewalk
Simulated spaceflight from Kennedy Space Center to Mars
Mars surface exploration using virtual reality
Botany Lab vegetable growth and harvesting, sending data to real NASA scientists
Mars rover robotics to optimize power for the Base
Engineering builds, themed to each age group
Hands-on STEM challenges
Team building, communication and collaboration
Tuition includes lunch and snack each day, a specially designed Camp KSC T-shirt, a Camp KSC certificate, a themed name badge and lanyard, and wristbands for up to four family members to explore the main visitor complex after the final day of camp.
