2024 summer aerospace camps - Registration opens March 24, 2024

This summer, the National Museum of the United States Air Force will offer free one-day beginner-level aerospace camps for students who will enter grades 5 or 6 in the 2024/25 school year. 

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 launch their rockets during the camp but in the event that a launch is not possible, 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.

Camp location is at the museum.

Each camp day will run from 9:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.
You may register your student for one of four dates below (camp content is the same on each day):

Tuesday, June 18
Friday, June 21
Tuesday, June 25
Friday, June 28

Please note: registration for these camps fills very quickly.  Check back here on Sunday, March 24 at 9:00 a.m. for the camp registration link. 

 


Materials for Aerospace Camps are provided through generous support from the Air Force Museum Foundation.  (Federal endorsement is not implied).
