Lowell Observatory: ORBITS CURIOSITY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CAMP – Life on Other Worlds
Discover the mysteries of the cosmos through hands-on science experiments and STEAM-based projects.
Campers in grades 5 & 6 will start with an incredible tour of our planet – Earth – focusing on life in all its forms. They will then explore the possibility of life existing elsewhere in the Universe. Camp participants will build a rover and send a personal message to a distant star system. Other activities will include hiking, drawing, playing games, and more.
These activity-based, week-long day camps meet Monday through Friday from 9 am to 3 pm, with graduation and family activities on Friday evening (circumstances pending.) We enroll campers based on the grade they will enter in the Fall. For example, if your child attends 2nd grade this fall, they should be enrolled in the 1st/2nd camp.
