Rocket Pilots

Explore space and rocket propulsion!  Campers investigate Newton’s laws of motion while building and launching small rockets that fly with many different kinds of propulsive technology – air, water, chemical reactions and more!  

Throughout the week, campers discover many of the amazing destinations in our solar system made accessible by space travel.  Observe the surface of a 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 and much more in this exciting exploration of the universe!
