Space Science Camp

We enrolled the kids in multiple Science camps at the museum near us during the Summer. The one they were the most excited about was the one focused on space. At breakfast the first morning of camp the kids were coming up with things they wanted to learn. Sweet Daughter wants to know what the astronauts do with their trash. Sweet Son wants to know why iron makes Mars red and methane makes Neptune blue.

Each day they came home excited to tell me everything they had learned. They also brought home their art. Here Sweet Daughter is showing me her space suit. She is trying to hook up her breathing tube to the helmet. 

Here you can see Sweet Son's oxygen tank on the back. This was such a quick and simple craft, but the kids loved it and wore them until they fell apart.

Here you can see a satellite and rover for exploring other planets.

I couldn't attend the camp with them so I only know what they shared with me. At the end of each 3 hour morning, they would talk for 3-4 hours about all of the things they learned and did during camp. They were always excited to attend and sad when the camp was over. After 6 weeks of camp (not consecutive), when I told them they were going back to school they weren't sure what to think. They love school, but they love Science camp as well. Needless to say, we are enrolled for more camps this Summer.
