Air & Space Camp

Our 13 year old boy had a brilliant time on the Big Island with the Land & Air Camp. They built rockets, went to the volcano, went swimming & stargazing and so much more. He really enjoyed it and would highly recommend!

Being that my son is more a stay in doors person, I wasn't sure how he would adjust to being outdoors and all I can say is I am so grateful he partook of this wonderful experience and opportunity.

Air & Space Camp 2019. From my son, Matthew, who attended camp; At the beginning of the camp, I wasn’t really happy with being there as I’m usually uncomfortable with talking with new people. Thankfully, after the second day, some counselors and campers came up to me which helped me overcome those fears. Once I learned that I actually had things in common with some of them I started to have so much fun. As the week went on, the team building exercises and excursions also help me feel more part of the group. I especially liked the rover control one, where we had to run back and forth giving directions to our blindfolded team members of how to complete the mission objectives. It was also cool to build a rocket for the first time, even if mine exploded because it hit a pole almost immediately after liftoff. Overall, this camp was a good experience for me. I gained some much needed self confidence, made new friends, had some cool life experiences, and learned a few new skills I hope to use in the future.

From me as a parent;
Mike and his staff were very responsive to our questions and concerns which ensured us that our son was well taken care of during the camp. I looked forward to and enjoyed all the nightly email updates coupled with all the great pictures that the campers took of each other. It was a joy to see his smiling face in those images. I’m so thankful that we sent our son your camp. You are teaching invaluable life skills to these young people that they will apply to the rest of their lives.

i loved it. i meet many new friends. i would like to go back!!

My son came back home excited about his trip and all the things he had the opportunity to experience and learn. He is anxious to return next year. I really appreciate the director of the program's daily progress reports and pictures to help parents be aware of what the campers were doing. Definitely worth the effort and time devoted to providing my son a first hand experience at learning about air and space.

It was really fun, I enjoyed every bit of it! The counselors were so kind and made me feel welcomed. The activities were great!
