Kids learn about the American Space Program, rocketry and STEM at HRPO’s Space Exploration Camp!

For centuries human beings dreamed of going to other worlds. For over 100 years, the solid work of the Wright brothers, Konstantin Tsoilkovsky, Robert Goddard, Hermann Oberth and others brought flight and rocketry into existence. Now rockets and spacecraft have been sent into low-Earth orbit; to land and orbit the Moon; to land on Venus and Mars; to orbit Jupiter and Saturn; to investigate Mercury; and to flyby Uranus, Neptune and Pluto! Soon, recreation and leisure flights will commerce, while actual human beings will return to the Moon — and go to Mars and an asteroid!

Parents can register in person at HRPO. Parents can also register online at Webtrac. Tell all the other parents you know, and don’t wait until the last minute!
