Build, design, and launch solid fuel model rockets.

Get ready for fun, hands-on science activities that test the laws of physics. Design, create, and test model cars and different types of rockets. See who can design the fastest car and the highest-flying rocket.

Your child's in for an action-packed week focused entirely on rockets and the physics of rocket flight!

What goes up, must come down, right? Let’s put that to the test! From 2 liter rockets to hot air balloons this class will get you testing the rules of gravity! Instructor: CE staff

Act like NASA scientists, engineers, and astronauts to prepare for the next moon landing. Design a lunar colony, launch rockets, explore the solar system, and practice teamwork to succeed!

Join longtime SJA teacher, Mr. Bud Stein, for a week of an exhilarating journey into the cosmos with Rocket Camp – an unforgettable experience designed for 6th-8th grade boys and girls!

Get ready to blast off into the world of rockets and discover the amazing science behind them. You’ll become a rocket safety superstar by learning all about the model rocket safety code. You’ll also uncover the secrets of how rockets soar through the sky, stay perfectly balanced, and return safely to Earth. Each day, you’ll get to build a rocket, from a sleek and awesome Mad Science rocket kit to a rocket made of toilet paper tubes – how cool is that? You’ll also be part of a real launch team! Imagine working together with your new friends as altitude trackers, launch preparers, and launchers. Every day, you’ll watch in awe as we send a rocket soaring high into the sky.

Join us for the Mad Science Rocketry Camp at the 2024 Summer at SLU Camp.

Join us for the Mad Science Rocketry Camp at the 2024 Summer at SLU Camp.

Your child's in for an action-packed week focused entirely on rockets and the physics of rocket flight! After learning the model rocket safety code, campers will build different types of rockets and participate in rocket launches during the week-long program. Children will be divided into three groups: altitude trackers, launch preparers, and launchers for rocket launches and will get the opportunity to try different roles. Note: We will launch rockets and your child will build several types of rockets. Our camp includes everything your child needs during our camp day.

However, if you wish to continue your child’s interest in rocket launches outside our camp, you will need to purchase a launch kit from Walmart or a hobby shop.

What do you get when you mix fun, curiosity, learning and excitement? Recipes for creative chemistry. Conjure up gumdrop molecules, ice cream in a can, crystal snowflakes, water bottle rockets and other bizarre concoctions. You’ll want to do these experiments over and over again. Chemistry has never been so much fun!
