Every day at AstroCamp is a new adventure—one that blends hands-on learning, outdoor challenge, and pure camp fun. Set in the San Jacinto Mountains of Southern California, AstroCamp gives campers the chance to explore the universe, build confidence, and discover who they are.
Morning: Exploration and Energy
Camp mornings start with laughter echoing through the pines and the smell of breakfast in the dining hall. After morning announcements and cabin cleanup, campers head to their first activity block.
One group might be launching rockets or exploring the chemistry of combustion, while others take on the ropes course or mountain bike trails. Each activity pushes campers a little beyond their comfort zone, teaching problem-solving, persistence, and teamwork.
Afternoon: Creativity and Challenge
After a hearty lunch and some downtime, the afternoon brings more choices—blacksmithing, astronomy, metalsmithing, or even culinary adventures during Camp CHOP.
Campers can dive into STEM labs, experiment in creative arts, or join a friendly sports challenge. Every experience encourages curiosity and exploration, blending science with creativity in ways kids never forget.
Evening: Connection and Community
As the sun sets behind the mountains, the magic of camp truly begins. Evenings are for campfires, star-filled skies, and laughter with friends.
Campers might gaze through a telescope at Saturn’s rings, cheer during the camp talent show, or reflect on the day’s adventures during cabin time. These moments build the friendships and sense of belonging that make AstroCamp feel like a second home.
The Rhythm of Discovery
At AstroCamp, each day is structured for growth—balancing hands-on STEM learning with outdoor adventure, creativity, and community. Campers head to bed tired but inspired, ready to wake up and do it all again.
Because at AstroCamp, discovery doesn’t just happen in the lab—it happens in every conversation, every challenge, and every shared laugh.
