Adult Space Academy

Always wanted to be an astronaut but were too old for Space Camp? Adult Space Academy®, established in 1990, is an adventurous, two-night weekend experience allowing trainees to assume roles in hands-on, interactive space missions and learn what it takes to be an astronaut.

Activities

  • Train like an astronaut on our Multi-Axis Trainer!
  • Construct and launch your own rocket!
  • Learn teambuilding exercises on our Low Elements Ropes Course.
  • Test your engineering skills in designing a protective heat shield!
  • Perform an extended-duration simulated mission!


"Lots of information and some interesting stories of the space race."

I attended Space Camp for Adults and found it surprisingly interesting. I expected a lot of silly kid-age stuff, but it was all appropriate for adults of any age. Our adult group was about a dozen of various ages and backgrounds (a graphic artist, a couple of doctors, an engineer, a loan officer) and we all loved the experience. I highly recommend it. The museum and Saturn V hall are staffed with knowledgeable guides who can tell you some captivating stories from astronauts and the engineers who built the Apollo program.
