What should campers pack?
MAKE SURE TO LABEL EVERYTHING
We recommend packing items in a rolling carry-on suitcase or rolling duffle bag that is easy for the camper to manage. Our lodging facilities are designed with limited personal storage to acquaint students with space limitations on the International Space Station (Space Camp) and in barracks (Aviation Challenge).

What to leave at home...
No outside food or beverages, portable music players, skates or roller shoes, hand-held computer games or other expensive items.
We understand that you will miss your child while he or she is attending our program. However, we discourage visits while camp is in session so that your child may have a true “away-from-home” experience. We do encourage parents to attend graduation ceremonies and will make special arrangements for visitation as necessary.
