Rocket Camp
Daily Themes
Rocket Scientists
Over the course of the week campers and Counsellors will launch 10 solid fuel powered rockets. Children will learn the basics behind model rocketry and how to safely launch model rockets.
Mission Control
Campers will continue their exploration into rocketry as they learn about how rockets are controlled and made to fly straight. Children will see the effects of stabilizers and fins up close as they build the first of their personal rockets.
Astronaut Training
Campers investigate Newton’s 3 laws of motion and how they are used to send off rockets. They will then experiment with different fuels and methods of launching a rocket. Children will take a space walk through time as they retract the steps of early astronauts and cosmonauts.
Mission Recovery
After a successful launch the next most important step in rocketry is a safe landing. Campers learn about the different ways to bring rockets down and experiment with the methods. Then they take a tour of our universe and explore the celestial bodies that impact us here on earth.
Go for Launch!
Finish the week with a bang as we launch the remaining rockets and blast off water powered rockets.
