2010 Day Camps
Applications are currently being accepted for a day filled with fun! Send your child on an out-of-this-world space adventure this summer! Challenger Learning Center offers day camps for young people ages 6-12 (entering grades 1-7) interested in science, having fun, and making new friends.


Space Explorers 
YOU are invited to join an adventuresome crew of mission specialists and astronauts as you journey into space to "Voyage to Mars" or "Rendezvous with a Comet." Embark on a seven-month expedition to the red planet to relieve a crew of astronauts from their duties after two long years on Mars. Or, investigate a comet as it streaks its way across our galaxy. Climb aboard the spacecraft Distant Discovery for an "out of this world" experience unlike any other.

Whatever mission you are assigned to, we promise to fire up your imagination as you experience the thrill of our two-hour simulated space missions. Spend the rest of the day enjoying hands-on activities. Are YOU ready? Space Explorers entering grades 4-7. Sign up today!
