Returning campers: Check this out!

Returning campers will receive a collectible patch every time they return to camp. Beginning with Starship Earth, returning campers will receive one round Cosmosphere Camp Alumni patch (the middle patch) and a corresponding wedge patch for each camp they attend over the years – six camps will complete the entire patch. We can’t wait to have you back!

The Houston trip is back!

Join us on a road trip to Houston, TX, one of the United States’ largest space cities! This exciting travel experience is replacing the Colorado trip. All previous Colorado campers 18 and under are encouraged to enroll. Participants will have the opportunity to visit Space Center Houston and the Neutral Buoyancy Lab. Stay tuned for more details!
