Youth Organizations

If you work with Scouts, 4-H, Girl Scouts, or any other youth organization, let us provide fun and enriching STEAM experiences to your youth. From weekend overnight experiences to a day of adventure in our education center and Challenge Course, we can customize experiences to meet the needs of your group.

The Cosmosphere is proud to offer programs that are as unique and exceptional as the young people we serve. With our professional staff, the Cosmosphere trains, educates and entertains young leaders of all ages and interests. From from programming robots to detecting radiation in a cloud chamber, the Cosmosphere knows what will inspire, motivate and train youth for the impossible!

Badges, patches, awards, and journey requirements in space and related STEAM subjects can be earned at the Cosmosphere. Programs are available for Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, American Heritage Girls, 4-H, church groups and more!
