Camp Description
Welcome to Rocket Launchers: Engineering for the Stars, the ultimate summer adventure where science meets the stratosphere! This isn’t just any camp — it’s a full-throttle, countdown-to-liftoff experience for curious minds who love to build, tinker, and LAUNCH things sky-high (safely, of course).
At Rocket Launcher Camp, campers become junior aerospace engineers as they design, build, and test real working model rockets. Guided by an expert instructors (a.k.a. your favorite nerdy rocket scientist), kids will explore the principles of flight, aerodynamics, propulsion, and Newton’s Laws of Motion — all while getting their hands covered in glue, paint, fins, and wires.
Each session includes:
- Mission Control Briefings (a.k.a. fun, hands-on engineering lessons)
- Rocket Design Labs where imagination meets structural integrity
- Launch Day Showdowns, with countdowns, telemetry checks, and some very excited spectators
- Bonus missions: Parachute design, trajectory analysis, and creative payload challenges.
Whether your camper dreams of being the next NASA engineer or just loves seeing stuff fly, Rocket Launchers will fuel their passion for STEM with a hearty blast of fun. It's science. It's flight. It's controlled chaos at 1,500 feet.
Ready to launch your summer? 3... 2... 1... LIFTOFF!
