RECYCLEMANIA

READY TO LAUNCH
Taking campers to the final frontier. Partnered with NASA and LEGOs, this camp will ignite your child’s fascination with space engineering and science. Campers will learn about and design their own mini space rockets, learn about space flight, space travel, and life in our solar system and beyond.
