The camp provides a unique opportunity to learn directly about Colorado's significant contributions to the space industry through local industry visits and interactions with space professionals.
The Colorado Space Institute's Youth Space Exploration Camp offers an immersive, hands-on experience for kids aged 10-14, focusing on Colorado's thriving space industry. Participants will engage in a variety of activities designed to introduce them to different space careers and the full life cycle of a space mission, from design to data collection. The camp emphasizes practical skills through projects like building and launching rockets, engineering solar-powered rovers, and exploring real spacecraft. Campers will also benefit from guest speakers and visits with local space professionals, gaining insights into the interdisciplinary skills needed in the aerospace industry. The program aims to foster critical thinking, communication, and teamwork, preparing students for future opportunities in ground-based space careers and beyond.
A typical day involves a morning briefing, core activities and simulations, daily rocket launches, hands-on projects, and collaborative work, with opportunities for socializing and decompressing in the afternoon.
This camp is best for curious middle school students (ages 10-14) with an interest in space, aviation, and STEM, who enjoy hands-on projects and learning about potential career paths in the aerospace industry.
