Residential Coed Summer Camp
At the Smithsonian-affiliated Cosmosphere, you're never too young or old to explore space.
Where residential summer camp programs inspire future engineers, scientists and even future astronauts!
Campers entering 7th grade and above train in the Cosmosphere's exciting simulators: our Space Shuttle simulator, named the Falcon III, a 4-g centrifuge, multi-axis trainer, Soyuz trainer, flight simulators, and our stress simulator. Campers build and launch rockets, get close up interactive tours of the Hall of Space Museum and operate mission control. Explore the night sky, perform underwater scuba exercises, experience ropes course team training and even travel to Johnson Space Center in Houston and Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Connect the dots at the Cosmosphere with hands-on learning, accountable team building, inspiration, dreams and outcomes that encourage tomorrow's achievers.

The Camp Invention program enhances a child's ability to learn through teamwork and subject immersion while cultivating a new appreciation for discovery - it's learning disguised as fun!
