Air and Space

Explore the final frontier in a hands-on adventure in astronomy and space travel!

Each session of Air & Space offers campers the opportunity to explore our solar system and the universe beyond, experimenting daily with the technologies used to fly through space. 

Throughout the week campers investigate some of the amazing destinations available through rocket propulsion and space travel.  They build a model of our solar system, observe the surface of our nearest star, use and take home a working refractor telescope, identify constellations in the Museum’s planetarium, command a space shuttle training aircraft in the flight simulators, collect and examine real meteorites and much more in this exciting exploration of the universe!
