Working remotely is nothing new for NASA! Check out our new online Ground Control Camp here! 

Aspiring astronauts, scientists and engineers ages 8-18 will have a "blast" at the award-winning Challenger Learning Center where they can explore space, science, art, and technology through simulated space missions and other out-of-this-world activities. 

Space adventurers can travel to the Moon or Mars, explore Comets, or train in an underwater environment in SCUBA gear. Future engineers can design, build and inhabit a life-size lunar colony or build remote-controlled rovers and rockets with 3D printed parts. Specialty camps include: Astronaut Training Camp, Rocket Lab, Innovator's Workshop, and NEW: Drone Makers Camp, and Artemis Adventure Camp!

Learning and play can still be part of your child's summer even while they stay safe and healthy through social distancing! Whether it's playing with sculpture, storytelling and song at Creative Arts Camp, or learning how to audition for a play at Grand Theater Camp, MTC's professional teaching artists bring fun and growth through the arts to campers of all ages. This year, in response to COVID-19, Metro Theater Company has moved all summer camps to an online platform, making them more affordable but equally as engaging as their usual in-person summer programs.

Students will need a secure internet connection, including a microphone and web camera to participate fully in camp. Instruction will be a mix of full group activities, small group activities, and at-home activities to ensure a balance of creative fun in between screen time. There will still be a digital performance for family and friends to enjoy at the conclusion of the program.

The Gateway Region YMCA will hold summer camps as planned in 2020 and will follow CDC-recommended public health guidelines.
