Solar System Travels

During this week, students will explore our solar system, learning about different planets and moons, with a focus on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and beyond. Through a variety of hands-on activities, they will construct models, analyze rocks and minerals, map a planet’s oceans, and even invent imaginary sea creatures that could live in those waters. They’ll also drill for layers in a Mars cookie! Additionally, students will have the unique opportunity to interact with a NASA scientist via Zoom to learn about their career and research. Tuition includes a $10 materials fee.

KOSC Summer Camp Registration Basics:

• Camps have a maximum enrollment and many fill quickly each year. Register early and avoid the waiting list.
• Early Bird Tuition cost is good through May 31. Add $25 when registering after May 31.
• Early drop off (8 am) and late pick up (4 pm) are available for a $15/day. This can be added during initial registration or closer to the camp's start date.
• Refunds are available (less a $15 administration fee) if a student withdraws 14 days prior to the start of camp. In case of cancellation due to insufficient enrollment, participants will be notified one week in advance and will receive a full refund.
• At checkout, there is an option to pay by check, if preferred. When sending a check, please make it out to Kopernik Observatory & Science Center and include a note specifying where the funds should be applied (especially for those registering for multiple camps). Checks must be sent to Kopernik at the time of registration and pay for the camp in full. Please contact Kopernik directly with questions or concerns.
• A welcome email will be sent approximately one week before the first day of camp providing specifics on the class and a letter from the teacher.
