Campers use creative and collaborative skills to design a mission patch, train like an astronaut, and solve real-world engineering problems using spinoff technology, just like NASA astronauts working together on a mission. They propose answers to questions like “How could space suit cooling tubes be used to solve a problem here on Earth? How could robotic arms help make our world a better place?” Then, they create a storyboard and presentation to share their spinoff project and work on their science communication skills

Our mini fencing camps offer kids a way to dip their toes into the sport of fencing in a place that’s friendly and supportive and allows them to immerse themselves in the sport for a week. This kind of structured, focused attention can go a long way in acclimating a child to an unfamiliar sport as well as supercharging their excitement. In mini camps, everyone is on the same page and at the same level, so they get to go through this journey of starting the sport together. Some of our highest performing fencers started in our beginner camps!
