Cosmosphere Camps
Cosmosphere Camps give participants deeper understanding of all things related to science, technology, engineering and math—from learning about the solar system and conditions required for a lunar base in elementary school to how to build a settlement on Mars in high school.
The impact on learning and confidence in STEAM subjects is impressive, yet the lifelong skills in communication, teamwork, leading and problem solving gained might be the greatest hallmark of Cosmosphere Camp. Past campers report that those lessons shaped their future.
