Welcome to Space Camp!

When you think of camp, do you picture campfires and tents? Thats

one kind of camp. But there is another type of camp space camp! A

scientist named Wernher von Braun (VAIR-ner von BROUN) saw band

camps, football camps, and cheerleading camps. He wondered why there

werent science camps. He wanted to give children the chance to see what

it would be like to be an astronaut (AS-truh-nawt).

Space campers

studying the solar system

His dream came true in 1982. That is when the first space camp

opened in Huntsville, Alabama. Now there are space camps in many

cities. Many museums and planetariums (plan-i-TAIR-ee-uhmz) offer

space camps, too.

Planetariums

A planetarium is a theater

that projects images of

stars, planets, and other

heavenly bodies on a

dome-shaped ceiling.

Planetariums offer shows to

teach about astronomy.

U.S. Space and

Rocket Center

The U.S. Space and

Rocket Center is a

space museum located

in Huntsville, Alabama.

People visit the museum

from all over the world

to learn about space

exploration and see the

moon rocket.

What to Expect

When you arrive, youll check in and meet the counselors. Each

student gets a log book. A log book is a type of journal in which campers
