Space Camp is the perfect place for any child interested in space and science. Each camper will build his or
her own rocket and will get to see it blast off at our famous weekly rocket launch. A weekly theme day full
of activities and demonstrations brings each session to a close, guaranteeing that Space Camp ends on a
high note every time!
• On Monday and Tuesday each camper will build his or her own rocket with the assistance of camp staff.
A wide variety of rocket kits ensures that both first-time and returning Space Campers will have an exciting
challenge to look forward to.
• On Wednesday, Space Camp ventures off the UCC campus for a science-focused field trip.
• After spending Thursday morning finishing construction and painting, the rockets complete their
transformation from a kit to a polished, flight-worthy aircraft. Next up is Space Camp’s famous rocket launch
on Thursday afternoon, always well-attended by friends and family, and even other UCC camps from time
to time!
• The theme selected for each Friday reflects an important mission, event or idea in space history or the
present, from Canadian space contributions on Canada Day to the Apollo 11 Moon landing anniversary on
July 20.
