Join us for a specially designed Modified Aerospace Camp, created for students age 10+ with physical or cognitive disabilities who may need a shorter, more accessible camp experience. This exciting program will take place at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force from 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM, offering hands-on learning in a supportive and engaging environment.

Campers will explore the principles of rocketry through a fun and interactive class on Newton’s Laws of Motion. They’ll then have the opportunity to build their own Astra III model rocket and take a guided tour of the Space and Missile galleries, where they can see real rockets, satellites, and historic spacecraft up close! Weather permitting, the adventure will conclude with an outdoor rocket launch on the museum’s front lawn, where students can see their creations soar into the sky.

Activities Include:
✅ Interactive lesson on rocketry and Newton’s Laws
✅ Hands-on model rocket building
✅ Guided tour of the Space & Missile galleries
✅ Outdoor model rocket launch (weather permitting)

Parents are welcome to stay and participate alongside their child to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience. This modified camp is designed to inspire a love of aerospace while providing an inclusive and adaptive approach to learning.

Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to explore the wonders of space and flight in a way that’s accessible to all!

During these camps, students will learn the basics of rocketry principles while having fun building their own model rockets.  All the necessary supplies for these free camps will be provided. Students may be able to launch their rockets during the camp. If launch on camp day is not available, information will be provided for when, and how, the students will be able to launch their rockets locally at a later date. All materials required for rocket launches will be provided at the scheduled launch event.
