Gadgets and boys have always gone hand in hand, and model rocketry is no exception. Campers build, craft, paint, and launch their rockets under the careful eye of our staff. Along the way they learn some basic physics, a little rocketry history, and have a lot of fun!

It is not unusual for a camper to put such care into their rocket that they take it home with them rather than send it up into the heavens.
Our rockets are similar to rockets you find in a good craft store, with parachutes and small solid fuel engines. They come in all shapes and sizes and are launched from a safe distance with an electric signal from a control pad.
