Individual Camps – Space Trek

Camps for Individual Signups

Space Trek proudly offers immersive and engaging camps for future explorers and engineers for all age groups, focused on building real-world skills for the space workforce of tomorrow — while delivering out-of-this-world fun. Camps take place in our SPACE Learning Lab, located within the Center for Space Education at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

Spring and Summer Schedule for 2026 is now out!

2026 Schedule

Astro Pioneers
Orbital Engineers
Space Trek Academy

Grades: 5 to 8

Astro Engineers is the perfect starter program for students ready to explore robotics and rocketry through hands-on missions. Camp begins with programming logic using a beginner-friendly approach, then students code their ExoNaut robots to drive linear and curvilinear paths, complete sensor-style challenges, and compete in team events.

On the rocketry side, students learn the basics of rocket science and the physics of flight, then work in launch-team roles to design and build a water rocket using custom parts. Teams test performance concepts, iterate like real engineers, and finish with a mission debrief and graduation—building confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving skills along the way. Plus, students explore Kennedy Space Center exhibits linking lessons to spaceflight.

Astro Pioneers comes in 1- and 2-day options, with a choice of Robotics or Rocketry tracks.

Grades: 5 to 9

Orbital Engineers is an advanced, high-intensity track for students ready to go beyond the basics through a true engineering workflow: plan, build, test, iterate, and present. Camp is offered in two specialized versions—Robotics or Rocketry—so groups can dive deep into one discipline.

In the Robotics version, students strengthen coding skills and program ExoNaut rovers to navigate complex courses, tackle mission-style challenges, and compete as a team. In the Rocketry version, students step into launch-team roles to design and build higher-performance water rockets using custom components, apply stability and flight concepts, and improve results through structured testing. The experience ends with mission debriefs, performance review, and graduation recognition.

The students can choose from a blend of options.

Grades: Rising Juniors (High School)

At the academy, students will work on independent teams upon which they assume roles similar to those utilized within the space flight industry, such as Flight Director, Safety Ofﬁcer, Payload Integration Specialist, Launch Operation Specialist, and Meteorologist.

Taught by aerospace engineers, students will be mentored within each mission task, culminating with the launch of a high altitude weather balloon containing payloads for near space investigation up to 100,000 feet above the surface.

The academy focuses not only upon real-world, technical learning for the future workforce, but also upon strengthening team-building, communication and other highly sought 21st Century Learning Skills to build confidence and resumes for future innovative college and career opportunities.

Camp Information

Arrival/Departure

Drop-Off: Campers should arrive between 8:40am and 8:50am for check-in at the KSC Visitor Complex turnstiles. Campers will then enter the park with our instructors and walk to our SPACE Learning Lab for our first daily mission at 9:00am.
Pick-Up: Parents or guardians should arrive to pick up their campers between 3:50pm and 4:00pm at the KSC Visitor Complex turnstiles. Please ensure your camper is punctual for both drop-off and pick-up times. Our team is committed to creating a safe and inspiring environment as participants learn about space exploration, engineering, and teamwork. Late arrivals and pick-ups impact the experience of all of our future space scientists. If you anticipate being late, please use Remind, call, text or email us using the contact information provided in your registration packet.
