The camp integrates real-life astronomical events into its weekly themes, providing timely inspiration for activities and crafts.
Camp Fort Greene's "Ready, Set, Launch!" program offers middle school campers a hands-on exploration of space science. Activities include designing and launching rockets using simple materials like balloons and Alka Seltzer, and learning about aerospace engineering. Campers will also engage in experiments with chemical compounds, create pretend meteors, and design and race parachutes to understand concepts like air resistance and gravity. The curriculum incorporates real-life astronomical events, inspiring crafts and discussions about stars, constellations, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Through building super strong structures with delicate items and exploring how rovers are designed, campers will develop problem-solving skills and scientific inquiry. The program aims to foster a bold confidence in their abilities and a sense of wonder about the universe.
A typical day involves a balance of indoor and outdoor explorations, including hands-on experiments, crafts, and games, with opportunities for free play and walking field trips.
This camp is best for rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who are curious about space, enjoy hands-on activities, and want to learn about science and engineering in a fun, nurturing environment.
