Chabot Space & Science Center Summer Camps For Grades 1-6 Now Open For Registration

Students in grades 1 through 6 can now register for Chabot Space & Science Center's "Mars Adventure" summer camps, to be held in four one-week sessions July 10 through August 4 at the Center, on its 13-acre grounds and adjacent Redwood Park. Each day of the camp will be full of fun, exciting science activities, engineering challenges and outdoor exploration woven into a weeklong mission to rescue a scientist stranded on Mars. Science educators will lead the one-week camp missions, launching July 10- August 4. The cost for each camp session is $550 and before and after-care are available. For more information and to register, visit www.chabotspace.org .

Campers will work in teams to tackle challenges, including surviving in space, landing on Mars, exploring the planet, communication, and search and rescue. The entire camp gathers each morning for the Daily Briefing- a time for groups to report on their progress and to receive additional information critical to the mission. Then campers navigate a range of indoor and outdoor activities led by Chabot instructors. The camp will take place inside Chabot's science labs, classrooms, and museum spaces as well as outdoors in Redwood Regional Park.

Mars Adventure is open to campers 1st-6th Grade (fall 2017). Students will be grouped by grade (1&2, 3&4, 5&6)
