Advanced Rocket Camp

‍

New for this year! Take your rocketry skills to the next level at our two‑day Advanced Rocket Camp for ages 13 and up. This camp is designed for students who are ready to move beyond the basics and dive deeper into the engineering and science of model rocketry.

‍

Participants will choose from three different advanced rocket kits to build and will practice next‑level construction techniques that improve strength, precision, and flight performance. Campers will also explore a rocket design and flight simulation program to analyze how design choices impact stability and altitude (participants are encouraged to bring a laptop if they have one).

‍

In addition to hands‑on building, rocketeers will investigate the rocket science behind successful launches, including aerodynamics, propulsion, and rocket stability. The camp concludes with an exciting rocket launch session beginning at noon on the second day, where campers see their designs take flight.

‍

Learning Goals

‍

At Advanced Rocket Camp, participants will:

• Build a rocket using advanced construction techniques
• Learn to use a rocket design and simulation program
• Explore the fundamentals of rocketry science, including aerodynamics, propulsion, and stability

‍

This new camp is perfect for motivated teens ready to challenge themselves and experience rocketry at a more advanced level.
