Entering Grades 2

Journey to Jupiter

Imagine looking up and seeing not one, but four moons shining in the sky! In this camp, second graders blast off on an adventure to explore Jupiter and its amazing moons. We’ll design rockets, build landing systems, and create rovers to test on alien surfaces. Together, we’ll dodge fiery volcanoes on Io, glide across Europa’s icy crust, and search for hidden oceans on Ganymede. Campers will dive into space science and spacecraft engineering while imagining what it takes to explore the far reaches of our Solar System!

Two campers and a camp leader are holding up model planets as they make a model of the solar system.
