Junior Space Explorers is designed for children entering 2nd, 3rd, or 4th grade in the fall of 2010, and offers four, week-long programs of camp featuring a variety of hands-on, age-appropriate, activities while learning about astronauts, flight, astronomy, the physical world, ecology and much more. Campers will discover how airplanes and spacecraft fly, how astronauts live and work in space, and how scientists use special instruments to gather information about the universe and the physical world around us. By constructing and launching pop rockets, participating in LEGO challenges, observing the Sun through solar glasses, constructing telescopes, and performing astronaut balance and dexterity training exercises, the campers will have fun while learning about many aspects relating to the world of science. Campers will also experience age-appropriate, specially-designed missions in our NASA-designed Spacecraft Simulator.
