    Welcome to
    NASA Space Camp

Reach for the stars
Exploring new frontiers in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.

 

One giant leap for young minds

Want to launch the next rising star in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths? The Young Genius Space Programme is where dreams are made, thrusting students beyond the classroom into the next frontier of space exploration through the most immersive, hands-on STEAM learning experience this side of the cosmos.

Watch their curiosity and imagination ignite and take flight, as advanced technology collides with real-world science and insights from real NASA experts. One minute they’re programming Mars Explorer robotics. The next, dipping their toes into rocket engineering, and exploring how space affects the human body. It’s Space Camp, but not as you know it.

GO BEHIND THE SCENES AT NASA AND IGNITE YOUR CURIOSITY

Break through the viewing glass and go behind the scenes of NASA’s world-famous Space Program where you can touch, feel and experience space science first-hand.

Ever dreamed of being an astronaut? Always wanted to know what it takes to launch a Mars Rover mission? At Space Camp, we take you inside the inner sanctum of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center Florida in the USA, where you’ll get up close and personal with next-generation technology and science. These are no ordinary STEAM field trips – they’re your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to immerse yourself in the cutting-edge robotics, simulators, sensors and experiments that take humanity to the far reaches of our solar system and beyond.

Extraordinary experiences await

Space Camp is where imagination takes flight, with an itinerary packed full of eye-opening, neuron-activating, adrenaline-pumping experiences you’ll love to infinity (and beyond).

    Lose yourself in the rich history and exciting future of space exploration, with a cosmos of diverse cultural experiences waiting to be discovered.

  • Get hands on

    Our STEAM field trips let students take on laboratory experiments, design, build and launch rockets, and embark on simulated Mars and Space Shuttle missions.

  • Get up close with NASA

    Tour NASA facilities and hear firsthand from real-life space program heroes, from astronauts, to scientists, engineers, and mission control experts.

  • Get your team on

    Space Camp thrusts students into challenging teamwork scenarios where they must work together and motivate each other to taste success. Game on.

A FEARLESS JOURNEY THROUGH SPACE WHERE YOU DISCOVER YOURSELF

Brace yourself for the ultimate learning adventure exploring the far reaches of earth, space, and an entire universe of untapped potential within.

Exploration is wired into our brains, urging us to seek what lies beyond and expand our horizons. Yet in the brave pursuit of knowledge, our greatest discovery is often not what we find ‘out there’ but what lies within. Kindling the flames of a hidden passion. Honing a skill or talent. Unearthing your inner leader. Space Camp is a rare chance to bring your curriculum to life by challenging students in collaborative STEAM experiences that cultivate critical thinking and problem-solving skills, encourage greater initiative and responsibility, inspire them to tread new paths, and propel them toward long-term goals.

  • “"Wow… I am truly blown away by Tour Time’s NASA Space Camp experience! Our school is always looking for engaging STEAM field trips that align with our curriculum to arm students with the skills to succeed in a world of rapid technological advances – and the Young Genius Space Programme goes above and beyond to capture the imagination with hands-on activities that allow students to learn and experience first-hand. This is no ordinary tour where students watch and look behind rope barriers and glass windows – this is going behind the scenes to rub shoulders with real NASA scientists and astronauts, slipping on white lab coats and getting a feel for the invaluable work they do day-to-day, like fabricating custom parts and programming robots. Space Camp makes science feel real and exciting, pushing our students to tackle real-world challenges creatively, critically, independently and as part of a team. And the chance to hear from NASA experts had our students in awe, inspiring them to think big and pursue their dreams in science and engineering."”

We've welcomed three new team members recently, so the first introduction is Lou!

"Travel, for me, plays a big part in creating those core memories that we hold on to for the rest of our lives. I am passionate about travel and passionate about helping our clients experience what could be a “once in a lifetime” moment.

I am also passionate about people. I love the connection & relationships we forge by travelling, not only with those we share the experience with, but with those we meet along the way. 

I have been working in the travel industry as a consultant for 7 years but have had quite a few more years of personal travel under the belt. I am planning to continue to travel the globe (at every opportunity I can get) to help build my understanding and knowledge within the industry so I can continue to offer our clients - not only the best deals - but also fantastic insights to help them make the most of their travels.

Genuine care, great attention to detail & a desire to help turn your dreams into unforgettable experiences is what I strive to provide every day."

Welcome to the team Lou!
