If you are interested in spaceships, aerodynamics, microgravity, robotics, rocket launching, extraterrestrial travel, and astronomy, then Space Flight Adventure Camp is the place to be this summer!

All programs are a mixture of excitement and fun, with hands-on experiences. Come and meet new friends and enjoy the adventure of learning about space.

Established in 1998, Space Flight Adventure Camps are held near Wallops Flight Facility, an operational NASA installation located on Virginia’s Eastern Shore and adjacent to Chincoteague Island, a picturesque family vacation destination.

Six co-ed residential camps will be held July through August, for ages 11 to 15. Check out the 2012 Sessions link in the sidebar for camp dates and see the Registration page for registration forms and links.

Fasten Your Seat belts and Prepare for Take Off!

Returning Campers

Returning campers are encouraged and welcomed at Space Flight Adventure Camp. We invite them to help first time campers, and share the knowledge they gained during previous sessions. Often returning campers bring a friend to share the experience and memories of camp.

Since our field trips remain the same each year, returning campers participate in many of the same experiences that they enjoyed as first time campers.

Scholarships

Thanks to generous support from local companies, deserving students can apply for financial assistance with camp tuition. Completed applications must be received no later than one month before the selected session begins, and must be accompanied by a $100.00 deposit.

If scholarship funds are not available, Academy staff can work with families to seek assistance from their own communities.
