Space Camp

7 Unforgettable Sleepaway Camp Experiences for Kids

"For kids who dream of extra-terrestrial beings and the spacewalks that might help find them, this collection of weeklong camps in Alabama is a must. Camps are split according to age groups (as young as nine) and interests (there are robotics, aviation, and cyber technology options). The camp’s location at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center offers hands-on simulators and gravity-defying opportunities that allow kids to train like real astronauts in the very spot that once played a key role in putting a man on the moon. Space Camp is a six-day, five-night program, and kids have the option of purchasing an authentic flight suit to add to the experience."
