Space: The Final Frontier

Our new Summer University camp is set to boldly go where no man has gone before. This captivating camp — A Journey Through Space and Time — complements our already robust summer lineup.

The camp takes a hands-on approach to the exploration of our solar system and the entire universe. We’ll explore our galaxy, stars, black holes and the entire cosmos. We’ll use fun, hands-on projects and the latest technology to understand the universe and our place in it.

“We located an instructor who’s very enthusiastic about teaching space exploration,” said Carla Green, program manager. “His personality fits our camps perfectly and we’re excited to add this unique class.”

Space Fun Facts:

• The Sun is over 300,000 times larger than Earth.
• Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system with a surface temperature of more than 842 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Footprints and tire tracks left behind by astronauts on the moon will stay there forever as there is no wind to blow them away.
• Because of lower gravity, a person who weighs 200 pounds on Earth would only weigh 76 pounds on the surface of Mars.
• The first man-made object sent into space was in 1957 when the Russian satellite named Sputnik was launched.
