Space Voyage Space Camp camps and programs:

Space Voyage offers an intensive program of learning and confidence building within a space motif. Space Voyage brings to life the importance of math and science, builds confidence through genuine achievement, creates a sense of belonging, and offers a fun and fantastic place for kids to learn and grow. Based on cooperative learning, the program uses learning teams, and project based learning, where everyone can achieve.

Space Voyage can be a first-time experience for beginning students or a continuation of space flight studies for returning students. This camp is designed for students with an interest in space. It’s the perfect camp for any student who has the dream of becoming an astronaut. Space Voyage immerses students in “thinking and working as-if they are astronauts.”

For the Pathfinders (ages 6-8), the program is one of awareness and exploration. The instructors design programs unique to the strengths and interests of the participants.

For Cadets (ages 9-16), students join a crew or team with other cadets and tackling the level’s challenges and play-hard activities together. Crews explore manned space flight by a functioning space station. The capstone experience of the cadet week is the “Space Voyage Simulation” where crews work together to showcase what they have learned.

Interns (age 14+) learn about manned space flight and leadership as they participate and observe Space Voyage in action. Space Voyage Interns can be paying participants, or volunteer to fulfill high school requirements for community service. For some, the Internship is a audition to be on staff. Many are hired in subsequent years.

Space Voyage Maker Lab Camps and Programs

Maker Lab camps and Expeditions offer an immersive experience in "thinking like a craftsman." Students learn maker skills while working safely to build and fabricate Apollo Saturn V rockets using paper and cardboard. Students develop the knowledge, skill and confidence in a Maker Lab work space. The program offers all materials, patterns and templates and tools to craft a paper replica of their Saturn V rocket. Students have the opportunity to take home both 36" and 84" replica rockets. Dr Palmere, the Founder of Space Voyage has been working on the Maker Lab for fiveteen years. 2024 was the first year of this program. 2025 camps have increased time at camp (from 3 ful days to 4 full days), and the availability to purchase additional pattern templates of the rocket to do at home. The program is designed for students age 9 or older, or by special permission. Got Questions? Read our websites and then call Dr. Palmere as needed. New and returning students are encouraged to attend. The summer of 2025 will offer three weeks to choose from.

SPACE VOYAGE SUMMER CAMP TESTIMONIALS

"It was the greatest week of my summer! For five years in a row! " From Cody, age 12.

“Space Voyage is amazing fun. One part Montessori School, one part Disney World, and one part Santa’s House. I’ll be back." From Dylan, age 13.

“I loved launching the 9 foot rockets. Our triple launch was awesome.” From Mary, age 7.

"This was one of the best experiences that my kids had this summer! Each day they did something new and engaging that my kids could not stop talking about. They made shuttles out of food, they got to design their own space patches in their groups, as well as so much more! I love how they were able to collaborate with other kids on each project and made some great friends! The program really inspired and challenged my kids to think outside the box. But most importantly he held my kids to high standards of being kind people. I also got to see him talk to the kids about everyday social skills and how they could react or just simply how to greet adults. I would highly recommend this camp, my kids will definitely be back next summer!" Miki, Mom

Did you know? Did you know many teachers, parents and grand-parents have told Dr. Palmere that he is a "kid whisperer?" As a trained educational pyschologist, after serving more then 300,000 kids in grades K-12, Doc responded by saying, "That's quite a compliment, thank you. I have always understood children. My reason for being and my grand mission is to help every child become successful as kids and then adults. Once they know their grand mission, they gain agency." Agency is taking control of those parts of your life that you can, at your age.
