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.

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!
